What are Caries zones in enamel and dentin?
enamel caries: surface zone, body of lesion, dark zone, translucent zone dentinal caries: desrtuction, penetration, demineralisation, sclerotic dentine enamel caries: surface zone, body of lesion, dark zone, translucent zone dentinal caries: desrtuction, penetration, demineralisation, sclerotic dentine
What is backward caries?
Whenever the spread of caries along the dej exceeds cone in enamel, the caries extends into the enamel from the junction
Is smooth surface caries begins on the outer surface of enamel and dentin?
Smooth surface caries is on a surface that does not have pits, fissures. Usually on the front, back, or side of the tooth as opposed to the top where there are hills and valleys so to say. If the caries is on the crown part of the tooth it started on the enamel, but may have progressed down to the dentin which is the next surface under the enamel.
What is considered a caries in the dental field?
caries in the dental field is part of tooth decay that consists of the decalcification of the enamel of the tooth. In other words this is considered tooth decay.
What does dental caries mean?
Dental caries are better known as tooth decay or cavities. It is a common dental condition that occurs when bacteria in the mouth produce acids that damage the tooth enamel, leading to the formation of holes or cavities in the teeth. It is important to prevent and treat dental caries to maintain good oral health.
Could you Define dental Caries and Bacterial Plaque?
Dental caries is a disease. It is better known as a cavity or tooth decay. Plaque are microorganisms that can lead to dental caries if not treated properly
Dental caries can be defined as?
Dental caries can be defined as bacterial infection which damages the tooth enamel and makes holes in the teeth. It is normally called as tooth decay. Cavities are the main cause that results in tooth decay if not taken care on time. Proper attention, cleaning and good eating habits should be considered by people.
How do you write caries in Spanish?
"Caries", as in "she caries it" or "he caries the book", is translated as: lleva.
What is covert caries?
Covert caries means hidden caries. This caries can only be seen by radiograph
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 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 Evidence for the role of bacteria in the genesis of caries?
Conclusions of Animal and human models used in an extensive studies :1. Teeth free from bacterial infection, either in germ-free animals or unerupted teeth in humans, do not develop caries.2. Antibiotics are effective in reducing caries in animals and humans.3. Oral bacteria can demineralize enamel in vitro and produce lesions similar to naturally occurring caries.4. Specific bacteria can be isolated and identified from plaque over various carious lesions.
