It tends to form a soft area of decayed material that is larger than the decayed surface of the enamel. The enamel may eventually collapse. Where it is undermined by the decay Denton. Within the Dent and lies the pulp which includes the pulp chamber and the root canals through which nerves and blood vessels enter the tooth.
