HISTORY OF ART:
Developed
Caries
ART
provides care for decayed teeth, which is nonthreatening, low cost, and can prevent extractions in
most cases.
once the caries has reached the dentine and a cavity has
formed, it is necessary to remove the decayed dentine
and repair the cavity to stop the caries.
A good way to do this is by placing an adhesive
restorative material, such as glass-ionomer, into the
cavity. This material will stick closely to the tooth and
form a seal between the restoration and the tooth.
It so prevents any more bacteria getting into the cavity.
Glass ionomers also release fluoride into the
surrounding tooth structures and make them stronger
against further attack from bacterial acid.
