Deep caries

Deep caries is an extensive lesion of not only the enamel of the tooth, but also the deep inner soft and hard layers (dentin), as a result of which cavities appear in its structure, in which food debris and pathogenic bacteria accumulate, leading to acute pain radiating to the temporal region of the head. 

This type of caries is considered the last stage of the disease, since as a result of pathology a carious cavity is formed, which is very close to the pulp chamber of the tooth, as a result of which there is a risk of further ineffective treatment and subsequent loss of the dental unit. In dentistry, acute and chronic forms of deep caries are distinguished, which have individual signs, symptoms and the nature of the course.
