The purpose of caries treatment is to terminate the disease process, prevent its further development and restore the inherent morphology and function of the teeth. Due to the special structure of teeth, although they have the ability to remineralize, they have no ability to repair substantial defects on their own. Except for a few cases where medication can be used, all other treatments require filling, inlay or artificial crown restoration according to the scope and volume of the tooth defect to restore its shape and function.

Drug treatment

Drug treatment is a method of using drugs to inhibit the development of caries on the basis of grinding away caries. It is suitable for shallow caries in permanent teeth that have not yet formed cavities, and shallow and medium caries cavities in deciduous front teeth. Commonly used drugs include silver ammonium sulfate and sodium fluoride.

Treatment method: First, grind off the carious tissue as much as possible, and grind off the thin tooth slices at the edge of the hole to open the hole; use cotton strips to isolate saliva, wipe the tooth surface dry, and then use a small cotton ball dipped in ammonia silver nitrate solution to rub the carious tooth surface for 1-2 minutes, blow dry with a warm air gun and then apply again, do this twice, then use a small cotton ball dipped in clove oil to rub it to restore it to black, blow dry to complete the treatment. The reduced silver formed is precipitated in the dentinal tubules to block the dentinal tubules and prevent the development of caries. It is usually performed once a week, with 3-4 sessions as a course of treatment. Follow-up examination should be conducted after 3-6 months. Soft tissue burns should be avoided during treatment.
