Tirohia te wāhanga i raro nei, kātahi ka whakautu i te pātai i muri mai i te reo kotahi me te wāhanga:  Passage: Ko te whakaaturanga o te caries he tino rereke. Heoi, he ōrite ngā take mōrearea me ngā wāhanga whanaketanga. I te tīmatanga, ka puta pea hei rohe iti o te kiri (te kiri kiri maeneene), ka taea te whakawhanake hei nui o te kohanga. I ētahi wā ka kitea tika te pirau. Heoi anō, ka whakamahia ētahi atu tikanga kitenga pēnei i te X-ray mō ngā wāhi iti ake e kitea ana o ngā niho, hei whakatau i te nui o te whakangaromanga. Ka taea e ngā taiaho mō te kitenga o te karihi te kitenga me te kore e pā ki te radiation ionizing, ā, kei te whakamahia ināianei mō te kitenga o te pirau interproximal (i waenganui i ngā niho). Ka whakamahia hoki ngā rongoā whakakitea i te wā o te whakahokinga niho hei whakaiti i te tūponotanga o te hokinga mai. Ko te tātaritanga tuatahi ko te tirotiro i ngā mata niho katoa e kitea ana mā te whakamahi i tētahi pūtake marama pai, he whakaata niho me te kaitirotiro. Ka kitea pea e ngā whakaahua irirangi niho (X-rays) ngā pirau niho i mua i te kitenga atu, otirā ngā pirau i waenganui i ngā niho. Ko ngā wāhi nui o te pirau niho e kitea nuitia ana ki te kanohi tahanga, engari he uaua ki te tautuhi i ngā whara iti ake. Ko te tirohanga tirohanga me te pa ki te taha o te radiographs e whakamahia ana i waenga i nga niho niho, ina koa ki te tirotiro i nga kohua me nga kohua. I te tīmatanga, ka tāutuhia te karihi uncavitated ma te pupuhi i te hau puta noa i te mata whakapae, e tango ana i te haumākū me te whakarereke i nga taonga tirohanga o te enamel unmineralized.  Pātai: He aha ngā take e ōrite ana ki te whakaaturanga o te karihi?
