>Tooth (teeth) - is a small, calcified, whitish structure found in the jaws (or Tooth (teeth) - is a small, calcified, whitish structure found in the jaws (or mouths) of many vertebrates that are used to break down food. Dental anatomy or anatomy of teeth is a field of anatomy dedicated to the study of human tooth structures.

>Tooth structure Tooth structure

>Enamel is the hardest and most highly mineralized substance of the tooth. 98% of Enamel is the hardest and most highly mineralized substance of the tooth. 98% of enamel consists of mineral, with water and organic material. Dentin is a calcified tissue of the body. 70% of dentin consists of the mineral hydroxylapatite, 20% is organic material 10% is water Pulp is the part in the center of a tooth made up of living connective tissue and cells called odontoblasts. Cementum is a specialized calcified substance covering the root of a tooth. It is excreted by cells called cementoblasts within the root of the tooth and is thickest at the root apex.

>Dental caries, also known as tooth decay or cavity, is a disease wherein bacterial Dental caries, also known as tooth decay or cavity, is a disease wherein bacterial processes damage hard tooth structure (enamel, dentin and cementum). These tissues progressively break down, producing dental cavities (holes in the teeth).

>3. Etiology 3. Etiology

>Bacteria Dental caries is an infectious, communicable disease, which causes destruction of teeth by Bacteria Dental caries is an infectious, communicable disease, which causes destruction of teeth by acid-forming bacteria found in dental plaque. Streptococcus mutans is the major cariogenic bacterium. S. mutans forms glucan and levan polymers that are adhesive. The bacteria, along with the polymers, work together to form a dental plaque. The bacteria use a substrate (sugar) to produce acids that dissolve dental enamel. Repeated demineralization by these acids leads to dental cavities

>Causes The caries process must be thought of as a dynamic alteration between demineralization Causes The caries process must be thought of as a dynamic alteration between demineralization and remineralization phases. the pathologic factors (bacteria and carbohydrates) the protective factors (saliva, calcium, phosphate and fluoride). The Keyes diagram shows that cavities are the result of the interaction between a susceptible tooth, a dietary substrate (sugar), a chronic bacterial infection, and time.

>Pathobiology Primary infection with Streptococcus mutans. Accumulation of S. mutans to pathologic levels, due Pathobiology Primary infection with Streptococcus mutans. Accumulation of S. mutans to pathologic levels, due to prolonged exposure to sugars. Accumulation of S. mutans to pathologic levels, due to prolonged exposure to sugars. .

>Frequent intake of carbohydrate-rich or sugary foods enables the cariogenic bacteria to maintain a Frequent intake of carbohydrate-rich or sugary foods enables the cariogenic bacteria to maintain a low pH on the surfaces of the teeth. People who already have one or more dental cavities are considered high risk for developing more. A low fluoride level on the surface of the teeth reduces the remineralization process and increases the risk for caries. When the saliva flow is below 0.7 ml/minute, the saliva cannot wash carbohydrates off the dental surface. In addition, low salivary buffering capacity, IgA, calcium, and phosphate reduce the potential for neutralization of acids in the dental plaque. A low socio-economic status can reduce interest in oral hygiene and a healthy diet.

>5. Prevention 5. Prevention

>1. Gaining control of the bacterial infection Caries control: The goal of caries control 1. Gaining control of the bacterial infection Caries control: The goal of caries control is to reduce the bacterial burden in the mouth. Atraumatic Restorative Treatment(minimally invasive caries control), reduces both the current and future treatment expenses. This mechanical measure will enable the subsequent chemotherapy to be more effective b) Chemotheraputic medication: Fuoride varnish can be used alone, or in combination with other antimicrobial agents. The varnishes contain 5% sodium fluoride (NaF). There is a mean caries reduction of 38% when fluoride varnish is used in caries prevention. Chlorhexidine gluconate rinse or gel. The 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate can be applied to the teeth twice a day for 14 days. It is applied at least 30 minutes after the use of toothpaste because the sodium lauryl sulfate contained in most toothpastes will neutralize chlohexidine gluconate.

A dietary assessment can identify when sugar consumption needs to decreased. Increasing fluoride use at home will also reduce the risk of dental caries. Source of calcium, such as cheese, is also recommended.

>3. Remineralization of teeth a)Fluoride varnish is applied 3 times in a 10 day 3. Remineralization of teeth a)Fluoride varnish is applied 3 times in a 10 day period. b)Fluoride is applied at home. A fluoridated dentifrice is used twice daily. Application of 1.1% NaF gel by toothbrush. c)Xylitol gum is recommended.
