Study Notes
Caries Risk
- Protective factors include saliva, sealants, antibacterials, fluoride, and effective habits considered in a risk-based reassessment.
- Risk factors include bad bacteria, lack of saliva, and destructive habits.
- Disease indicators include white spots, restorations under 3 years old, enamel lesions, cavities in dentin, high-risk areas (pits/fissures, root, cervical, interproximal), and plaque stagnation areas (restorations/ortho).
- Caries detection methods include visual, visual + perio probe, visible light, transillumination/NIDIT, impedance, radiography, and dyes.
- Sensitivity is the true positive rate, calculated by dividing true positives by the sum of true positives and false negatives.
- Specificity is the true negative rate, calculated by dividing true negatives by the sum of true negatives and false positives.
- Magnification can increase sensitivity but decrease specificity for some methods of caries detection.
Caries Detection Methods
- Visual: Visual examination; sensitivity 0.12, specificity 0.93
- Visual + Perio Probe: Visual exam with probing; sensitivity 0.14–0.80, specificity 0.93.
- Visible Light: Visual exam with visible light; sensitivity 0.5–0.85, specificity 0.95.
- Transillumination/NIDIT: Uses IR light (780 nm); sensitivity 0.68, specificity 0.93.
- Impedance: Uses closed circuit AC Impedance Spectroscopy Technique (ACIST); sensitivity 0.67–0.96, specificity 0.71–0.98.
- Radiography: X-rays; sensitivity 0.45–0.7, specificity 0.70–0.97.
- Dyes: Stains demineralized dentin (e.g., methylene blue, fuchsin red); sensitivity 0.71–0.74, specificity 1.00.
ICDAS Stages
- Stages 0-6: Described visually and radiographically
- Stage 1: First visual enamel change
- Stage 2: Small enamel cavity
- Stage 3: Large enamel cavity, wedge shape, visible dentin shadow
- Stage 4: Dentin affected visible shadow
- Stage 5: Visible dentin funnel to pulp shadow
- Stage 6: Extensive visible dentin, more than half of tooth surface affected
Risk Assessment
- High, Medium, and Low Risk Categories
- Factors include white spots, restorations, destructive habits, reduced salivary function, absence of saliva, age, sex, anticholinergic/sympathomimetic medications, and frequency of xerostomia.
Caries Risk Management
- Different risk levels have different management strategies for recalls, radiographs, antibacterial treatments, fluoride therapies, diet, and saliva.
Sugar Consumption
- Children (2-19 y/o) - girls have 15 teaspoons, boys have 18 teaspoons
- Adults (20+ y/o) - girls have 15 teaspoons, boys have 19 teaspoons
- Daily Average Intake: 17 teaspoons/71.14 g
- WHO Guideline - < 10% of total energy intake
- AHA Guideline - < 6 teaspoons per daily (for girls), < 9 teaspoons per daily (boys).
Sugar Types
- Polysaccharides (e.g., fiber, glycogen, starch, amylose, amylopectin, etc.)
- Disaccharides (e.g., sucrose, lactose, maltose)
Artificial Sweeteners
- Much stronger than sugars (or sugar alcohols)
- High Acceptable Daily Intake amounts (ADI)
