DENTAL CARIES
Presented by  Dr. ANURAG JAIN
DEFINITION
 Dental caries is a preventable, chronic, and
bioilm-mediated disease modulated by diet.
his multifactorial, oral disease is caused
primarily by an imbalance of the oral lora
(bioilm) due to the presence of fermentable
dietary carbohydrates on the tooth surface
over time.
 - Sturdevant 7th edition.
 dental caries lesions result from a dynamic
process of damage (demineralization) and
restitution (remineralization) of the tooth matter.
 Understanding the balance between
demineralization and remineralization is key to
caries management.
 Repeated demineralization events may result from
a predominantly pathologic environment causing
the localized dissolution and destruction of the
calciied dental tissues, evidenced as a caries
lesion.

CLASSIFICATION
 caries can be Described according to
 Location
 Extent
 Rate.
ACCORDING TO LOCATION
 : Primary caries : primary caries is the original
carious lesion of the tooth.
 Morphologically 3 types of primary caries are
evident
 1. Pits and fissure caries : caries involving pit
and fissure area of teeth because of imperfect
coalescence of the developmental enamel lobe
 2. Smooth surface caries : caries originating on
smooth surface area of teeth that are usually
covered by plaque.
 3. Root surface caries / Senile caries : caries
may occur on the tooth root that has been
exposed to the oral environment and habitually
covered with plaque

 2.secondary caries / Recurrent caries
- it occurs at junction of a tooth restoration
and the tooth and may progress under the
restoration.
ACCORDING TO EXTENT
 Incipient / Reversible caries : This
represents early carious lesion which is in its
initial stage. it can be remineralised if
immediate corrective measures alter the
stage.
 Cavitated / Irreversible caries: in this
condition enamel surface is broken and
usually lesion has advanced into dentin.
Restoration is usually indicated.
ACCORDING TO RATE
 Acute / Rampant caries : it refers to disease
that is rapidly damaging the tooth .
 Chronic / Arrested caries : it is slow or it
may be arrested after several active phase.
ACCODING TO DIRECTION
 Backward caries : when the spread of
caries along DEJ exceeds the caries in the
contiguous enamel caries extended in to this
enamel from junction and is termed
Backward caries.
 Forward caries : when caries cone in
enamel is larger or at least the same size as
that dentin.
BACKWARD & FORWARD CARIES
ECOLOGIC BASIS OF DENTAL CARIE: THE ROLE
OF THE BIOILM
 Dental plaque is a term historically used to
describe the soft, tenacious film
accumulating on the surface of teeth.
 Dental plaque has been more recently
referred to as the dental bioilm or simply the
bioilm, which is a more complete and
accurate description of its composition (bio)
and structure.
 the bioilm is composed mostly of bacteria, their
by-products, extracellular matrix, and water.
 the accumulation of the bioilm on teeth is a
highly organized and ordered sequence of
events.
 Bacteria seem to occupy the same spatial niche
on most individuals. A hedgehog formation has
been recently characterized because of the
spine of radially oriented filaments
 the filaments are a mass of Corynebacterium
filaments with Streptococcus at the periphery.
Actinomyces are usually found at the base of
the bioilm suggesting that Corynebacterium
attaches to a preexisting bioilm containing
Actinomyces.

ORAL HYGIENE AND ITS ROLE IN THE DENTAL
CARIES PROCESS
 Oral hygiene, accomplished primarily by
proper tooth brushing and flossing, is another
ecologic determinant of dental caries onset
and activity. Careful mechanical cleaning of
teeth disrupts the bioilm and leaves a clean
enamel surface. the cleaning process does
not destroy most of the oral bacteria but
merely removes them from the surfaces of
teeth.
SALIVA: NATURES ANTICARIES AGENT
 Saliva is an extremely important substance for
the proper digestion of foods, and it also plays a
key role as a natural anticaries agent
 the importance of saliva for oral health is
dramatically noted after therapeutic radiation to
the head and neck.
 After radiation, salivary glands become fibrotic
and produce little or no saliva, leaving the
patient experiencing an extremely dry mouth
(xerostomia) (xero, dry; stoma, mouth), a
condition termed hyposalivation
 Salivary protective mechanisms that maintain
the normal oral flora and tooth surface
integrity include.
 bacterial clearance, direct antibacterial
activity, buffers, and remineralization.
BACTERIAL CLEARANCE
 the flushing effect of this salivary low is, by
itself, adequate to remove virtually all
microorganisms not adherent to an oral
surface.
DIRECT ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY
 Salivary glands produce an impressive array
of antimicrobial products like Lysozyme,
lactoperoxidase, lactoferrin, and agglutinins
possess antibacterial activity.
DIET AND DENTAL CARIES
 High-frequency exposure to fermentable
carbohydrates such as sucrose may be the
most important factor in producing cariogenic
bioilm and ultimately caries lesions.
 Dietary sucrose plays a leading role in the
development of pathogenic bioilms and may
be the most important factor in disruption of
the normal healthy ecology of dental bioilm
communities.
ZONES OF ENAMEL CARIES
 Zone 1- translucent zone
 Zone 2  dark zone
 Zone 3  body of the lesion
 Zone 4  surface zone
ZONES OF DENTAL CARIES
ZONES OF DENTINAL CARIES
 Soft Dentin (formerly infected dentin).
 Also called outer carious dentin, soft
(infected) dentin is primarily characterized by
bacterial contamination.
 It is closer to the tooth surface, characterized
by the presence of bacteria, low mineral
content, and irreversibly denatured collagen.
Histologically this zone may be referred to as
necrotic and contaminated
 Firm Dentin (formerly affected dentin).
Also called inner carious dentin, firm
(affected) dentin is primarily characterized by
demineralization of intertubular dentin and of
initial formation of intratubular ine crystals at
the advancing front of the caries lesion. As
the tubule lumen becomes filled with
minerals it will give a transparent
appearance in a section observed in a light
microscope
 Hard Dentin. Hard dentin represents the
deepest zone of a caries lesionassuming
the lesion has not yet reached the pulpand
may include tertiary dentin, sclerotic dentin,
and normal (or sound) dentin. Clinically this
dentin is hard, cannot be easily penetrated
with a blunt explorer, and can only be
removed by a bur or a sharp cutting
instrument.
