Same Cavity, Different Outcomes — How Dental Microscopes Transform Every Treatment
What looked like a small cavity to the naked eye turned out to be a deep cavity under the microscope. Magnification changes everything — from diagnosis to treatment outcomes. Here's why Shin Youngtong TTE Dental uses a microscope for nearly every procedure.
Minimally Invasive Resin Build-up Is the Answer for Pediatric Cavities — Treating Extensive Secondary Caries in a 9-Year-Old
A 9-year-old patient's lower first molar (#46) had a failed previous resin restoration with extensive secondary and subgingival caries. Treated with gum recontouring, rubber dam isolation, AquaCare, and fiber-reinforced resin build-up using a minimally invasive approach.
AquaCare: Scientific Evidence for Enhanced Bond Strength — 2025 International Research Review
A review of the 2025 international study (J Esthet Restor Dent) showing that AquaCare's AquaSol wet-spray technology improves dental bond strength by up to 21%.
Deep Cavity on Tooth #25 — Saving the Nerve with MTA Vital Pulp Therapy (VPT) and Resin Build-up
A case where the pulp was exposed during caries removal on an upper premolar (#25). MTA vital pulp therapy (VPT) and resin build-up were performed to preserve the natural tooth and avoid root canal treatment. By Dr. Kang Seokhoon at TTE Dental Clinic.
My Crown Smells Bad... A Retreatment Case with Wall Build-up
Investigating the cause of a foul odor from under a crown — secondary caries and resin core leakage treated with microscope-assisted retreatment and wall build-up. A real case from TTE Dental Clinic by Dr. Kang Seokhoon.
Saving a Tooth Sentenced to Extraction — Crown Lengthening and Resin Wall Build-up
A severely decayed tooth with gum overgrowth was saved through crown lengthening surgery and resin wall construction, avoiding extraction.
Resin Core Build-up for Secondary Caries Under an Existing Crown
Treatment of foul odor caused by secondary caries leakage under an existing crown, involving core removal, caries excavation, and resin wall formation under rubber dam isolation.
It Looks Fine on the Outside but Is Decaying Inside? Treating Interproximal Caries with Resin Build-up Instead of an Inlay
A case of interproximal caries (decay between teeth) treated with minimally invasive resin build-up instead of an inlay. Rubber dam isolation, precision matrix placement, and layered resin application to preserve the natural tooth.
"The gum grew into my tooth..." Saving a Tooth Nearly Sentenced to Extraction with Gum Surgery and Resin Wall Build-up
A severely decayed tooth with gum tissue growing into the cavity was saved through crown lengthening surgery, rubber dam isolation, resin wall construction, and root canal treatment at TTE Dental Clinic.
Is Bone All That Matters for Implants? Extending Implant Longevity by Creating Firm Gum Tissue (FGG / Vestibuloplasty)
A case where free gingival graft (FGG) and vestibuloplasty were performed to supplement insufficient attached gingiva around an implant, extending the implant's lifespan.

[Root Caries] Why Is a Rubber Dam Essential When the Gum Line Is Decayed? (Feat. Saving Natural Teeth)
A case of root caries at the gum-tooth junction treated with precise resin build-up under rubber dam isolation. Clamp-assisted gingival retraction and proper bonding are the keys to success.
Flapless Sinus Lift Implant — An Advanced Surgical Case
Even in a complex case requiring sinus augmentation, a flapless implant was successfully placed without gum incision. From CT diagnosis to final prosthesis — the entire process revealed.
Lower First Molar Extensive Cavity — Microscope Resin Build-up
A patient with pain from secondary caries under an old amalgam restoration was treated with minimally invasive cavity removal using AquaCare under dental microscope, followed by direct resin build-up to preserve the tooth.
