  Source : drpulp STEP 1. Read and understand the tooth anatomy Before your guide gives you the demonstration- first thing you must do is read the anatomy of that tooth. If you will go empty mind its difficult to absorb anything from demo. While reading the anatomy make point wise notes of the each surface of tooth. Facial, lingual, Mesial etc. My favorite book for dental anatomy is Wheeler's Dental Anatomy, Physiology and Occlusion use it. it's a must and best standard text book. Don't rely on memory keep this notes and Wheeler's book beside you while you are carving the tooth. STEP 2. Get proper instruments          Get a good quality Lecron carver for yourself. While buying the carver check for the sharpness of carver, don't take blunt carvers. A Metal scale ruler is best for measuring dimensions, vernier caliper   can also be used for perfection. Take good quality of carving wax it should neither be too soft or too hard. ...

A tooth abscess is a collection of infected material (pus) resulting from a bacterial infection in the center of a tooth. Causes, incidence, and risk factors A tooth abscess is a complication of tooth decay . It may also result from trauma to the tooth, such as when a tooth is broken or chipped. Openings in the tooth enamel allow bacteria to infect the center of the tooth (the pulp). Infection may spread out from the root of the tooth and to the bones supporting the tooth. Infection results in a collection of pus (dead tissue, live and dead bacteria, white blood cells) and swelling of the tissues within the tooth. This causes a painful toothache . If the pulp of the tooth dies, the toothache may stop, unless an abscess develops. This is especially true if the infection remains active and continues to spread and destroy tissue. Symptoms The main symptom is a severe toothache. The pain is continuous and may be described as gnawing, sharp, shooting, or throbbing. Other sym...
