CARIOUS CAVITY AND ITS COMPLICATIONS IN CHILDREN: FROM CARIES TO PERIODONTITIS
Abstract
Dental caries in children remains one of the most prevalent oral diseases and frequently leads to the formation of a carious cavity. In the absence of timely treatment, the process is complicated by inflammation of the pulp and periodontal tissues. This article examines the causes and specific features of caries development in children, analyzes complications in the form of periodontitis, and outlines approaches to diagnosis and treatment. Additional attention is given to psycho-emotional aspects, particularly the application of play-based techniques as a means of reducing anxiety in pediatric dental patients.
