Is there a D dental code to be used with teeth extractions due to dental caries?

The D stands for a "decayed tooth". Usually you will seeDMF-which is calculated to determine an individual's overall caries (cavities) rate in their mouth. As for using this to determine extractions or with extractions, I can only surmise that they are using this calculation for insurance purposes to explain the need for extractions beyond pain.DMFT and DMFS describe the amount - the prevalence - of dental caries in an individual. DMFT and DMFS are means to numerically express the caries prevalence and are obtained by calculating the number ofDecayed (D)Missing (M)Filled (F)teeth (T) or surfaces (S).

What are the names of 2 things which cause tooth decay?

In the Dental community we call it "dental caries" or a "carious lesion." Caries refers the disease in which hard tooth structure becomes damaged or decayed as result of bacterial processes, primarily due to Streptococcus mutans. Fermentable carbohydrates such as sucrose fuel these bacteria which produce acids. If not removed from the tooth surface the acids will begin to demineralize the hydroxyapatite crystal structure of the enamel and dentin. I suppose you could also call it a "cavity."


What is cavities scientific name?

Cavities are scientifically known as dental caries. They are caused by the demineralization of tooth enamel due to bacterial activity in the mouth, leading to the formation of decayed areas in the teeth.

What are the causes of dental caries?

Chemical (acid) theory.Parmly (1819) proposed that an unidentified "chymical agent" was responsible for caries. According to this theory, teeth are destroyed by the acids formed in the oral cavity by the putrefaction of protein which produced ammonia and was subsequently oxidized to nitric acid. Robertson (1895) proposed that dental decay was caused by acids formed by fermentation of food particles around teeth.Parasitic or septic theory.- stated that microorganisms can have toxic and destructive effects on dental tissues. Ficinus ,a dental physician implied that filamentous microorganisms (denticolae) in the enamel cuticle and in carious lesions caused decomposition of the enamel and dentin.Chemo - parasitic theory. ( W.D. Miller)-is a blend of chemical and parasitic theory, because it states that caries is caused by acids produced by microorganisms of the mouth. According to this theory,microorganisms of the mouth, by secretion of enzymes or by their own metabolism, degrade fermentable carbohydrate food materials to form acids which demineralizes the enamel and the disintegrated enamel is subsequently mechanically removed by force of mastication. Miller summarized his theory as follows.- Dental decay is a chemoparasitic process consisting of 2 stages- decalcification or softening of the tissue and dissolution of the softened residue.Proteolytic theory (Gottileb- 1947) -proposed that microorganisms invade the organic pathways ( lamellae) of the enamel and initiate caries by proteolytic action. Subsequently, the inorganic salts are dissolved by acidogenic bacteria.Pincus(1950) stated that initial caries process in dental caries was due to the proteolytic breakdown of the dental cuticle.Proteolysis chelation theoryproposed by Shalz etal implies a simultaneous microbial degradation of the organic components (proteolysis) and the dissolution of the minerals of the tooth by the process of chelation. According to this theory, dental caries results from an initial bacterial and enzymatic proteolytic action on the organic matter of enamel without preliminary demineralization. This cause the release of a variety of complexing agents, such as aminoacids , polyphosphates and organic acids which then dissolve the crystalline apatite
