Description

This cross-sectional illustration depicts stage E2 of dental caries based on radiological classification. At this stage, the demineralization process has advanced through the outer half and affects the inner half of the enamel, approaching the dentin-enamel junction but not yet breaching it. The enamel appears more radiolucent and shows greater mineral loss, indicating disease progression. The image offers a clear visualization of enamel caries development just before reaching the dentin layer, making it an effective resource for dental education, early intervention planning, and patient awareness.
