What are Caries zones in enamel and dentin?
enamel caries: surface zone, body of lesion, dark zone, translucent zone dentinal caries: desrtuction, penetration, demineralisation, sclerotic dentine enamel caries: surface zone, body of lesion, dark zone, translucent zone dentinal caries: desrtuction, penetration, demineralisation, sclerotic dentine
What is backward caries?
Whenever the spread of caries along the dej exceeds cone in enamel, the caries extends into the enamel from the junction
Is smooth surface caries begins on the outer surface of enamel and dentin?
Smooth surface caries is on a surface that does not have pits, fissures. Usually on the front, back, or side of the tooth as opposed to the top where there are hills and valleys so to say. If the caries is on the crown part of the tooth it started on the enamel, but may have progressed down to the dentin which is the next surface under the enamel.
What is considered a caries in the dental field?
caries in the dental field is part of tooth decay that consists of the decalcification of the enamel of the tooth. In other words this is considered tooth decay.
Could you Define dental Caries and Bacterial Plaque?
Dental caries is a disease. It is better known as a cavity or tooth decay. Plaque are microorganisms that can lead to dental caries if not treated properly
Dental caries can be defined as?

What are the names of 2 things which cause tooth decay?
In the Dental community we call it "dental caries" or a "carious lesion." Caries refers the disease in which hard tooth structure becomes damaged or decayed as result of bacterial processes, primarily due to Streptococcus mutans. Fermentable carbohydrates such as sucrose fuel these bacteria which produce acids. If not removed from the tooth surface the acids will begin to demineralize the hydroxyapatite crystal structure of the enamel and dentin. I suppose you could also call it a "cavity."
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.
Does soda make your teeth soft?
Anything with sugar can cause caries (decay). Sugar combines with bacteria in your mouth and saliva and becomes acidic. It causes enamel loss and decay. Sugar is the leading cause of tooth decay. In addition, the carbonation in such beverages can wear away tooth enamel.
How does the dental decay occurs?
Dental decay or cavity or caries occurs when the bacteria found in the mouth releases acid. This acid breaks down the crystals of the enamel...the outermost and hardest part of the tooth.
