Features, basic methods of conservative treatment of caries in the stain stage
A pathology characterized by softening of dental hard tissues and their demineralization is called caries. The disease has several degrees of development, and the initial stage is the spot. Treatment of caries in the stain stage involves the use of both traditional and folk methods.
The clinical picture of
Caries in the spot stage assumes rapid loss of the damaged natural tooth shine and rapid demineralization of the enamel. The process looks like this:
- Rotting is formed in the area of the tooth neck, near the gum.
- Over time, rotting affects the dental tissues and spreads quickly, converting to more complex degrees.
- When caries in the stain stage only begins to develop, a intact dental enamel produces a specific change in the form of a stain.
Pathology in this degree develops in two forms:
- The stage of the white spot.
- The stage of a dark spot.
White caries
Such a beautiful name means not too bright prospects. Caries in the white spot stage suggests the presence on the tooth enamel changes - matte and white. The tooth enamel is still glistening, but plaque deposits are visible with the naked eye.
The main reason for the formation of spots of a white shade is the high activity of harmful microorganisms that promote the formation of pathological organic acids.
Caries in the white spot stage can be detected accidentally, for example, during morning procedures. If the change is in the area of the neck of the tooth, the sensitivity of the enamel may increase.
Dark speck
In case of untimely intervention, this degree is transformed into the stage of a dark spot. The hue of "mutated" neoplasms can be brown or even black. This is due to the fact that harmful microorganisms freely penetrate into the porous structure on the affected area.
Do not hesitate with the diagnosis!
An accurate diagnosis can only be made by a qualified dentist. For diagnosis in modern conditions, a 2% solution of methylene blue is used. After processing, the color of small specks changes. The degree of demineralization is revealed on the basis of coloration: the brighter it is, the deeper the penetration of decay.
Sometimes dark spots spread to adjacent teeth. The dye has no effect on undamaged fabrics.
Stages of the conservative treatment of white caries
Under current conditions, caries treatment in the stage of white stain occurs in stages:
- tartar removal( it is supposed to stop pathological processes and polish current sites);
- plaque elimination;
- remineralizing therapy( the doctor treats affected areas with fluoride-containing dental medications);
- "illiteracy" regarding the correct oral hygiene( to avoid relapse, the dentist is obliged to advise the client about what kind of dental care should be);
- monitoring of the dental state( to evaluate the results of therapy visit a dentist after two months).
The German weapon Tiefenfluorid is a formidable weapon used for remineralization.
Assisting in caries of a dark spot
Treatment of caries in a dark spot involves the following:
- use of ozone-containing drugs;
- remineralizing therapy;
- tooth preparation( actual in case the spot increases);
- sealing with the participation of photopolymer material.
To assist the teeth at home, it is recommended that the client use drugs that contain fluoride.
Protection against decay
Pathology is cunning enough, and in case of untimely treatment or incorrect oral care, relapse may occur.
This can be avoided if timely preventive measures are taken:
- Regular brushing of teeth after eating.
- Exclusion from the diet of harmful products.
- Substitution of snacks with adequate nutrition throughout the day.
- Cupping of scaling.
- Fluorination.
- Avoid contact with enamel of teeth with chemical products and substances.
The disease often develops on the background of cardiac, vascular pathologies, as well as gastrointestinal diseases. Therefore, it is important to treat comorbid conditions in a timely manner.
