Meet the two therapeutic areas against cavities

Professional training programs consider two therapeutic areas against cavities. On one side are those that address therapy in hard tissues (enamel and dentin), occasionally interventions through the soft tissue (pulp), as coatings. On the other hand are those that deal with root canal therapy and periapical tissues including tooth-conserving surgical techniques?


Traditionally gingivoplasty therapies and clinical crown lengthening has been exclusively in the field of periodontics, the reality is carried out by problems caused by caries.

Who should deal with any problem of tooth decay and make these therapies is called clinical cariĆ³logis, dentists trained to solve all the effects of decay and its aftermath. The most important thing is to find people with this type of profile, a dentist qualified to resolve, through techniques of Operative Dentistry, Cosmetic Dentistry, Endodontics, Periodontics and Restorative Endodontic Surgery; to ensure that a decayed tooth, do not have to go hand in hand to be rehabilitated and have a better chance to stay in its socket in optimum health. Of course the best advice that could make dental domain, you should see your dentist frequently.
