Caries of dentine - what does this mean
Caries of dentine is a form of tooth decay that occurs when bacteria in the mouth produce acids that erode the enamel and dentine layers of the tooth, causing cavities. it is usually caused by poor oral hygiene, and can be prevented by brushing and flossing regularly and avoiding sugary foods and drinks.
What happens during the disease - caries of dentine
The pathogenesis of caries of dentine is a multifactorial process caused by bacteria in the oral cavity. these bacteria metabolize fermentable carbohydrates, such as sugars, to produce acids that demineralize the enamel and dentin, resulting in the formation of cavities. the demineralization of the dentin is further exacerbated by the production of organic acids from plaque bacteria and the buffering capacity of the saliva. as the caries progresses, the dentin becomes increasingly softened and the caries can eventually reach the pulp, leading to pain and infection.
