Carries Assessment and Diagnostic Phase
- Cambra
- Radiographs
- OHI
- Dietary
- Salivary
Caries Acute Phase
- Address any
- Failing restorations
- Painful/ sensitive
- Here the tooth 47 can have caries removal BUT
- since it needs endo the composite restoration might just be a preliminary
- normally this would be done in the definitive phase, but the patient has sensitivity!
Caries Disease Control Phase
- Reinforce OHI
- Continue Addressing Risk Factors
Caries Definitive phase
- Final restorations
- Occlusal adjustment
Caries Maintenance Phase
- Recall at appropriate intervals (depending on caries risk - this one is high so 4-6 monthly)
- Annual Radiographs
