Deep Examination & Analysis

Based on the image provided, there are several significant dental health concerns that require immediate professional attention:

• Gross Caries (Severe Decay): The lower molar (bottom right of the photo) shows a large, dark cavitation covering most of the occlusal (biting) surface. This indicates extensive tooth structure loss.

• Likely Pulp Exposure: Given the depth of the dark area on the lower molar, the decay has likely reached the pulp (nerve) of the tooth.

Overall Alignment

• Visible malocclusion (misalignment) between upper and lower teeth

• Improper bite contact causing uneven force distribution

• Signs of traumatic occlusion

Lower Teeth Findings

• Fractured lower tooth (partial crown loss)

• Exposed dentin with plaque accumulation

Affected area:

• Lower posterior region (missing crown with remaining root fragment)

Key findings from the image:

• Severely broken-down tooth reduced to a root stump

• Dark brown to black necrotic tooth structure

• Accumulated plaque, calculus, and food debris

• Surrounding gum tissue appears inflamed and irritated

Visual Examination (Zoom 100% – Clinical Findings)

Tooth involved:

• Lower posterior molar (likely first or second molar)

Observed conditions:

• Extensive crown destruction due to advanced dental caries

• Open pulp chamber clearly visible

• Dark brown to black necrotic dentin

• Two exposed root canal orifices

• Food debris and bacterial biofilm present
