Definition of dental cariesDental caries can be defined as progressive
and irreversible bacterial damage to hard
tissue of teeth exposed to the oral environment. It is characterized by demineralization of these tissues followed by disintegration of their organic material. The disease can result in bacterial invasion and death of the pulp and spread of infection into the periapical tissues, causing pain

Current Concept of the Caries Process
Important things to note are:A natural phenomenonSpread over timeNot have to progressDepend on the modifying factors

Operative Treatment for Caries
For superfacial and intermediate cariesRestoration of teeth
with amalgam, composite resin, glass ionomer
23/4/12 431
Operative Treatment for Caries
For deep caries
Remove caries and place a Calcium Hydroxide base
Then a temporary filling
23/4/12 441
Operative Treatment for Caries
For deep caries
In the case of irreversible pulpitis, root canal treatment(RCT) is necessary

2-2 Endodontics (pulp diseases)
1.Pulpitis Acute pulpitis Chronic pulpitis Retropulpitis and residual pulpitis2.Pulp degeneration3.Pulp necrosis
23/4/12 491
The main causes of pulpitisDental cariesTraumatic exposureFracture of the crownThermal effectsChemical irritation
23/4/12 501
Acute pulpitis
23/4/12 511
Chronic pulpitisPain is not prominent featureThe reaction to the thermal change is dramatically reduced

2-3.Periradicular lesionsAcute apical periodontitis Acute periradicular abscessChronic apical periodontitis Chronic periradicular abscess Chronic periradicular granuloma Radicular cyst
23/4/12 531
Acute apical periodontitis
Exhibit normal periradicular structure but painful to percussion
23/4/12 541
Acute periradicular abscess
Pain ,rapid onset, tenderness to percussionThe exudates can be confined to the alveolar
bone, causing localized swelling of soft tissue, or extend into facial space (cellutis)
23/4/12 551
23/4/12 561
Chronic apical periodontitis The development of an asymtomatic periradicular
lesion at the periapex1.Chronic periradicular abscess2.Chronic periradicular granuloma3. Radicular cyst
