What is Kuafaj Treatment?
Kuafaj means the treatment of damaged tissues in decayed teeth. In this procedure, a special filling is applied to protect the healthy part inside the tooth. This method preserves the tooth instead of extracting it and is often used without the need for extensive treatments. The aim of Kuafaj is to save the teeth without needing more serious treatments by preserving the health and appearance of the teeth.
Kuafaj treatment involves filling the healthy part of the tooth considering how close the damaged tissues due to decay are to the nerve. The advantage of this treatment is that it saves the decayed tooth without extraction and allows it to function normally. In other words, Kuafaj treatment is the repair of the damaged tooth with a filling and can be applied before root canal treatment. Root canal treatment is a procedure done before the extraction of the tooth.
Kuafaj treatment aims to preserve the vitality inside the tooth and to minimally affect the tooth’s natural functions. The materials used in this treatment include calcium hydroxide, tricalcium silicate, and resin.
What is Deep Kuafaj?
Deep Kuafaj treatment is a procedure used to clean deep cavities in the tooth and cover them with a filling. In this treatment, the dental nerves are not removed. The treatment steps are as follows:
- The dentist cleans the infection and decay.
- Necessary medications are applied to the tooth.
- The damaged tooth is repaired with a small filling.
What is the Difference Between Kuafaj and Canal Treatment?
Kuafaj treatment is actually a preliminary stage before root canal treatment. The difference between the two treatments is as follows:
In Kuafaj treatment, a deep filling is applied to the damaged tooth. However, this filling does not touch the nerve inside the tooth.
In root canal treatment, the nerve and the core inside the tooth are completely cleaned out.
The advantage of Kuafaj treatment is that the nerve inside the tooth is not removed, thus preserving the tooth’s vitality.
