So let's conclude with our last patient of the day.
Lower left pre-molar....x ray shows a very large area of decay and clinical exam shows the tooth has a big hole!!(fig. 1)...I advise patient I will have to excavate the decay and it is likely that the tooth will need the nerve removed...often called root canal treatment ...
So here is the series as I took care of this situation...As I expected the amount of decay was very large(fig. 2), luckily no root canal was needed, as the excavation(fig. 3), did not expose the nerve and I was able to place a large sized tooth colored filling(fig. 4)...
