Dental Case Analysis: Posterior Tooth Structural Damage With Suspected Advanced Caries

Case Overview (100% Zoom Visual Inspection)

The image shows a posterior molar with a clearly circled area of concern. There is irregular tooth structure, yellowish soft-looking material, and loss of normal occlusal anatomy, strongly suggesting advanced dental caries with partial tooth breakdown. The lesion appears deeper than surface enamel damage.

Dental Case Analysis: Chipped Anterior Tooth With Enamel Loss

Case Overview (100% Zoom Visual Inspection)

The image shows an anterior tooth (front/side view) with a visible enamel chip on the incisal edge. The defect appears localized, with no obvious gum inflammation, but the tooth edge is uneven and thinner than normal, indicating structural enamel loss.

Dental Case Analysis: Posterior Tooth Decay and Restoration Risk

Case Overview (100% Zoom Visual Inspection)

The image shows posterior molars/premolars with visible occlusal surface discoloration, dark pits, and irregular enamel texture. One tooth presents brown-black staining within fissures, strongly suggestive of active dental caries or recurrent decay under an old restoration.

Dental Case Analysis: Molar Tooth with Early Decay and Gum Pocket

Case Overview

The image shows a back molar tooth with a small occlusal cavity and a visible gum-side pocket or irritation (indicated by the arrow). This suggests early tooth decay combined with localized gum involvement.

Zoom 100% Visual Examination

Observed Findings

• Posterior molar with small cavity on the chewing surface

• Early enamel breakdown visible in the fissure

Dental Case Analysis: Severely Decayed Back Tooth (Lingual Side)

Case Overview

The image shows a posterior tooth with advanced decay located on the chewing and inner (tongue-side) surface. The cavity is deep with visible breakdown of enamel and dentin, indicating a long-standing untreated condition.

Zoom 100% Visual Examination

Observed Findings

• Large open cavity on the back tooth

• Extensive brown and dark discoloration indicating active decay
