Medical Conditions - Carious Lesions

Carious lesions are defined as the observable mineral loss, limited to the enamel but that can extend into dentine. These appear as holes in the teeth. These are treated by clearing off all demineralized and bacterially contaminated dentine with the help of restorations such as amalgam, and composite.
