EFFECTIVENESS OF MICROSCOPY IN THE TREATMENT OF SUBGINGIVAL CARIES

Abstract

The effects of overgrown gingiva, bleeding, and exudate can interfere with the treatment of caries extending below the gingival margin. Deep margin elevation is a method of restoring caries that has progressed below the gingival margin in which the restoration margin is elevated above the gingival margin. We conducted deep margin elevation using a microscope and a semiconductor laser, carrying out ceramic inlay restoration with an intra-oral scanner (CEREC Omnicam, Dentsply Sirona) for the successful conduct of precise, minimally invasive restoration.
