What is dental caries?

Dental hard tissues undergo phasic demineralization and remineralization as a result of dental caries, a biofilm-mediated, sugar-driven, multifactorial, dynamic illness. Caries can harm the tooth crown and, in later life, the exposed root surfaces throughout one's life, in both the primary and permanent dentitions. Caries development is influenced by the interaction of protective and pathogenic factors. The primary factor credited for the global drop in dental cavities over the past few decades is the regular use of fluoride toothpaste. This primer seeks to give a comprehensive review of caries while respecting the historical age in which dental decay was mostly treated surgically. It instead concentrates on contemporary, progressive, and more comprehensive long-term, patient-centered, preventive therapy.
