This patient had a poorly filled tooth and needed to be replaced, because of leakage around poor margins which led to recurrent decay under his tooth colored filling. Fillings last an average of 5 years, but with carefull attention under a microscope Inlays can last a lifetime.

I use a pink caries indication solution with high magnification of a microscope to remove all the decay completely as in this case, before restorating the tooth. This process is almost never used by other dentist, and therefore 95% of dentist and up leaving decay and bacteria under there fillings leading to many problems including early failure of the restorations. Eventually the patients while require root canals and crowns which could be prevented by preforming the procedure in detail with the microscope and caries locating solution.
