Fillings and Tooth Decay
Explore how dentists assess decay and choose a restoration based on the remaining tooth structure. Treating decay means clearing out the damaged part and rebuilding the space. How much sound tooth is left, where the decay sits and how the tooth is loaded when you bite all bear on whether composite, an inlay or a crown is used. A tooth can look sound from outside and be hollowed out underneath, so the plan sometimes changes once it is opened.
The articles themselves are in Korean
Our dentists write these articles for patients in Korea, and we have not translated them. Every title in the lists on these pages is in Korean, and so is the article behind it.
What is in English is the part that helps you choose: what each topic covers, and how many articles sit under it. You may use your browser’s translation feature on the Korean text, but medical wording may not translate accurately. If you need anything clarified, send us the question on KakaoTalk and we will answer it before you come in.
