In clinical site for caries initiation, these are the most susceptible sites

Developmental Pits and Fissure

Smooth Enamel Surface

Root Surface

According to _______, the clinical appearance of caries is of great interest to the dental professional, because it tells something of the history of a caries lesion and provides valuable information for adequate noninvasive and invasive treatment.

In clinical site for caries initiation, it shelters cariogenic biofilm.

Root Surface

Smooth Enamel Surface

Developmental Pits and Fissure

In the levels of Dentinal Reaction to Caries, it is when vital pulp can repair demineralized dentin by remineralization

Reaction to long-term, low-level acid demineralization associated with a slowly advancing lesion

Reaction to a moderate-intensity attack.

Reaction to severe, rapidly advancing caries characterized by very high acid levels.

In the levels of Dentinal Reaction to Caries, it overpowers the dentinal defenses and results in infection, abscess, and death of the pulp.

Reaction to a moderate-intensity attack.

Reaction to severe, rapidly advancing caries characterized by very high acid levels.

Reaction to long-term, low-level acid demineralization associated with a slowly advancing lesion

In the levels of Dentinal Reaction to Caries, infected dentin contains a wide variety of pathogenic materials and irritants, including high acid levels, hydrolytic enzymes, bacteria and bacterial cellular debris.

Reaction to a moderate-intensity attack.

Reaction to severe, rapidly advancing caries characterized by very high acid levels.

Reaction to long-term, low-level acid demineralization associated with a slowly advancing lesion

This is usually seen where there is a gingival recession and the oral hygiene is poor.

Clinically, the lesion appears as saucer-shaped cavities and U-shaped in cross sections and progresses rapidly because of the lack of enamel covering.

________ contains much less mineral and possesses microscopic tubules that provide a pathway for the ingress of bacteria and egress of minerals, and so less resistance to acid attack.

As long as the _________ is vital, the dentin-pulp complex reacts to caries attack by attempting to initiate remineralization and blocking off the open dentinal tubules.

Clinically the carious lesion is seen commonly as sticky brown or yellow or it may be chalky white.

It can be defined as the study of the distribution and determinants of health related states or events in specified populations and the application of this study to control health problems.

Rates and ratios (prevalence or incidence) of any disease.

Frequency of Disease

Distribution of Disease

Determinants of Disease

Defined as the loss of tooth structure at the cemento-enamel junction or CEJ that is unrelated to dental caries.

He stated that epidemiology can be defined as the study of the distribution and determinants of health related states or events in specified populations and the application of this study to control health problems.
