Restoring decayed teeth involves a meticulous process that begins with precise detection and removal of decay, followed by careful restoration of the tooth's structure for optimal function and appearance. **Step 1: Caries Detection** First, the dentist applies Waldent Caries Detector to the affected tooth using an applicator tip. This solution is left to rest for 10 seconds, allowing it to react with any carious areas. Afterward, the area is rinsed with water to remove excess detector, revealing carious parts which appear visibly red. Once identified, the decayed portions are targeted for removal to prevent further deterioration of the tooth. **Step 2: Excavation of Decay** Using precise tools such as round burs or hand excavators, the dentist carefully removes the decayed portions of the tooth. This process continues until only healthy tooth structure remains, ensuring the integrity and strength of the remaining tooth. **Step 3: Preparation and Cleaning** The prepared cavity is meticulously cleaned to eliminate any remaining bacteria and debris. This step is crucial for ensuring a clean surface before proceeding with the bonding process. **Step 4: Phosphoric Acid Etching** Phosphoric acid etching is applied to the tooth surface using Waldent BestEtch gel. This gel sits for a specified time (10-20 seconds) to create a microscopically rough surface, enhancing the bond between the composite material and the tooth. **Step 5: Bonding Process** Waldent NanoBond is applied evenly to the etched enamel and dentin surfaces. Excess solvent is gently evaporated using dry, oil-free air, leaving a glossy surface ready for bonding. The composite material is then light-cured in increments, ensuring each layer receives adequate curing time under the appropriate intensity of the curing light (typically 10 seconds per increment). **Step 6: Polishing and Finishing** Finishing burs or discs are used to contour and refine the composite material, achieving a smooth and natural tooth surface. Rubber cups and abrasive paste are employed to polish the composite, enhancing its aesthetic appearance and ensuring a comfortable fit within the bite. The occlusion (bite) is evaluated, and any necessary adjustments are made to ensure proper alignment and functionality of the restored tooth. This comprehensive approach not only restores decayed teeth but also prioritizes the longevity and natural appearance of the restoration, ultimately aiming to provide patients with a durable, aesthetically pleasing smile while maintaining optimal dental health.
