Abstract:
Introduction. The average tooth decay in the permanent teeth has been detected more and more frequently lately. This argument requires dentists to a rational treatment tactic, taking into account the morphological and structural features of teeth with medium forms of tooth decay.
Purpose.
Early diagnosis and timely treatment of average forms of dental caries in permanent teeth with dynamic assessment of patients and determination of the effectiveness of the proposed treatment.
Material and methods.
The study was conducted on a group of 30 patients, of both genders, aged 17-60 years who were complained with sensitivity of their teeth to the consumption of hot, cold, sweet food, as well as acidic foods. Patients were diagnosed and treated in a single visit with the placement of the light-curable composite fillings.
Results.
The obtained results showed a positive outcome and a success rate of 97% in the dynamics of patients treated with light-curable composite aesthetic fillings. The treatment performed on permanent teeth with medium dental caries allowed the exclusion of cases of marginal secondary caries in the study group.
Conclusions.
Regular dental check-ups, early diagnosis of tooth decay and proper treatment can be successful in stopping the carious lesions and in preventing the complications of tooth decay.
