Three components necessary for dental caries (tooth decay) are:
1. A susceptible tooth
2. Cariogenic bacteria capable of converting carbohydrates into acids
3. Carbohydrates
Eliminate any one of the three and dental caries will not occur.

What are 3 terms that mean radioactive decay?
Dental Caries is the scientific name for 'tooth decay.'
What are the clinical indications for dental sealants?
Deep plaque-retentive pits and fissures on the occlusal surfaces of the teeth, incipient caries and no radio-graphic evidence of caries on the proximal surfaces, xerostomia, orthodontic appliances or bands, need for head and neck radiation therapy, infrequent professional preventive care, high caries experience, newly erupted posterior teeth, visible heavy plaque on the teeth, and a pattern of snacking more than 3 times a day between meals.
An extraoral radiograph would be least likely to show what 1 Detect interproximal caries 2 Locate impacted teeth 3 View sinuses or 4 Determine the extent of a fracture?
detect interproximal caries

Why caries are more common in females than males?
caries is more common in females because 3 points less saliva production in females,during pregnancy chemical composition ofsaliva changes increase in estrogen harmone during pregnancy and lactation results in increased caries changed food habits in pregnancy

What essetial nutrients is most likely to cause dental caries?
Sugar. That's pretty much it -- or to say it more properly, fermentable carbohydrates. The idea of the caries model is that the plaque (bacteria) on your teeth absorb the sugars you eat, metabolize it, produce a by-product of lactic acid, which then eats away at your teeth. Prevention of dental caries revolves around these basic areas: 1) brush, floss, good oral hygiene - get rid of the plaque (bacteria) 2) fluoride - makes teeth more resistant to decay, and interferes with bacteria's metabolism 3) avoid sugars - bacteria can't make acid without sugars (fermentable carbohydrates) 4) other measures such as sealants - block the bacteria/acid from getting in the grooves of teeth, which are highly susceptible to decay. There are more details to this topic, but that is the basic idea.

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.
What are the 3 major of components?
The 3 major components of fitness are strength,endurance, and flexibility.
