Damaged Amalgam Filling with Secondary Decay Case Analysis

Severity: 

Dental Case Analysis: Damaged Amalgam Filling with Possible Secondary Decay

Case Overview

The image shows a posterior molar tooth with an old metallic (amalgam) filling. The restoration appears damaged with visible breakdown at the margins. There are signs suggesting possible secondary decay beneath or around the filling.


Zoom 100% Visual Examination

Observed Findings

  • Large amalgam (silver) filling on molar

  • Marginal gap between filling and natural tooth

Lower Teeth with Amalgam Fillings Case Analysis

Severity: 

Dental Case Analysis: Lower Teeth with Metallic Fillings and Plaque Accumulation

Case Overview

The image shows the lower dental arch with visible metallic (amalgam) restorations on posterior molars. There are signs of plaque accumulation and dark staining within the grooves of treated teeth.


Zoom 100% Visual Examination

Observed Findings

  • Multiple amalgam (silver) fillings on lower molars

  • Dark discoloration around restoration margins

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.


Zoom 100% Visual Examination

Observed Findings

  • Back molar with pronounced pits and fissures

Broken Back Tooth with Deep Cavity Case Analysis

Severity: 

Dental Case Analysis: Broken Back Tooth with Deep Cavity

Case Overview

The image shows a posterior tooth located near the tongue side with visible enamel breakdown and a deep cavity. The tooth structure appears weakened, suggesting advanced decay and possible fracture.


Zoom 100% Visual Examination

Observed Findings

  • Back tooth with broken enamel edge

  • Deep cavity extending into dentin

Early Interproximal Tooth Decay Case Analysis

Severity: 

Dental Case Analysis: Early Interproximal Tooth Decay With Enamel Breakdown

Case Overview (100% Zoom Visual Inspection)

The image shows posterior teeth (side view) with a small dark lesion located between two adjacent teeth. The enamel surface is mostly intact, but there is localized discoloration and a pinpoint cavity, consistent with early interproximal dental caries.
