Caries of cementum - what does this mean
Caries of cementum is a type of tooth decay caused by the accumulation of bacteria and acids on the outer layer of the tooth. this leads to the destruction of the cementum, which is the outermost layer of the tooth, resulting in cavities and other dental problems.
What happens during the disease - caries of cementum
Caries of cementum is a form of dental decay that occurs when the cementum layer of a tooth's root surface is attacked by bacteria. it is caused by a combination of poor oral hygiene, high sugar intake, and acidic foods that can lead to the accumulation of bacteria and plaque on the root surface of the teeth. this leads to the demineralization of the cementum layer, which can cause cavities and decay of the tooth.
