Teeth Case Analysis (Before & After)

Clinical Observation (Zoom-Level Review)

From the image provided:

Before Condition

  • Severe plaque and calculus buildup (heavy tartar deposits)

  • Advanced discoloration (brown/yellow staining)

Back Molar with Deep Fissures Case Analysis

Severity: 

Dental Case Analysis: Back Molar with Deep Grooves and Early Decay Risk

Case Overview

The image shows a posterior molar tooth with deep occlusal grooves (fissures). While the enamel surface appears mostly intact, the depth of the grooves creates a high risk area for early tooth decay due to plaque and food retention.
