Diagnosis of Dental Caries-Old and the New

By Dr Sana Farooq

This book focuses on the recent and traditional diagnosing aids used for caries detection. Dental caries which is prevelant worldwide may be defined as a dynamic disease process, in which early lesions undergo many demineralization and remineralization cycles before being expressed clinically.1 It is a complex disease, defined as a progressive, irreversible, microbial disease affecting the hard parts of the tooth exposed to the oral environment, characterized by demineralization of inorganic constituents and destruction of the organic constituents thereby leading to a cavity formation. As long as the dynamic equilibrium between the mineral content of the tooth-oral fluid and the microbial content of the biofilm are maintained, the entire sequence remains within the boundary of a physiological process, where loss and gain are equalized.
