How to tell if it's arrested/ or affected dentin

How to tell if it's arrested/ or affected dentin

Here's the thing I'm a dentistry student, and my mom her restoration fell out, she was using toothpick to pick up some dislodged food, as I told her time and time again to not use toothpick, anyways -- it fell out. Upon checking her tooth, did some exploring, the site was shiny, brown, and hard. It could be just affected dentin left by the dentist, or arrested caries, since Arrested Dentin/Enamel Caries could be brown and hard and shiny. Now the prepared cavity is already deep, 1mm left of the occlusal margin, of course drilling would be a no- no restoration is just not possible. But if it was just affected dentin, I could just etch-bond-composite it without drilling. I am stuck. I want to apply my knowledge to practice, but easier to answer in paper than to tell in person. Thank you Doctors!

Portable Dental Air Turbine Unit Work with Air Compressor

Has anyone used this? Cino-consider ko kase mura, maybe maganda for practice, according kay seller it works by turbos? and not air pump. I really don't wanna spend 20k sa PDU tapos laging may problem. Yung nag rent ako PDU kusang namatay yung dalawa, despite following renters instructions. Maraming salamat poowww!

Open extraction

Just got my tooth extracted via open extraction. Is it normal for the flap to look like this? Looks like there's some exposed bone. No it's not hurting (so far) it is inflamed of course. Also I'm scared that food might get in the flap, and it sucks because it's hard to eat even soft foods such as banana or porridge. :// Anyways asked my dentist the first time when I saw a small hole, said it's okay, now it have looked like this, asked him again but still waiting for his reply, need second opinion, very much appreciated. Thank you.
