Caries: Diagnostics And Treatment

Caries is a process of destruction of hard tooth tissues, which occurs with the participation of cariogenic bacteria in the oral cavity (in the composition of dental plaque), as well as food residues processed by them. The organic acids produced by the bacteria gradually destroy first the enamel of the tooth and then the underlying dentin. As a result, a carious cavity is formed in the tooth, the walls of which are filled with soft decay of decaying dental tissues and a large number of cariogenic bacteria. The following article looks into the reasons leading to dental problems, its diagnostics and treatment methods.
