Study Notes

Introduction to Dental Caries: Module 3

The module is for the study of Dental Caries and Cariogenesis (mechanism of caries production)
The module's goals are to develop evidence-based critical thinking skills in Dental Caries by focusing on: Physiopathology and biologic determinants of dental caries, Risk assessment of dental caries, Detection and diagnosis of dental caries, and Management of dental caries.
The module's outline includes: In-Person sessions (Merritt, Preclin (848), or sim-clin. (1411)); Hands-on Caries Detection workshop(s); Small group case discussion session; and Faculty office hours.

CariesCare 4-D Model

The CariesCare 4-D model is a cyclical process encompassing: Determine, Detect, Decide, and Do.
Determine: This involves assessing patient level caries risk.
Detect: Detect and assess caries, including caries staging and grading.
Decide: Determining Personalized Care Plan at the patient and teeth levels.
Do: Prevention and management of cavities and non-cavitated lesions.

Caries

Caries is a biofilm-mediated, diet-modulated process that results in an imbalance between demineralization and remineralization, causing localized tooth structure destruction.
Biofilms are microscopic communities of bacteria and a slimy matrix.
Diet plays a role; the presence of sugars allows bacteria to produce acid that lowers pH.
An extended low pH creates a microbiome imbalance.

Caries History

Tooth worm theory existed from approximately 5000 BC to 1700 to the early 1900s, but varied by location.
The Keyes Triad of Dental Caries was developed in 1963.
Historically, caries was considered infectious and transmissible. Now it's understood as an ecological, non-communicable disease.

Module Goals

The module aims to develop students' evidence-based critical thinking skills in dental caries through understanding physiopathology, assessing risk, detecting/diagnosing, and managing caries.

Module Schedule

This section includes a detailed schedule for the lectures, workshops, and exams. It outlines dates, times, topics, and locations of various module sessions. This involves specific faculty members, topics, rooms, and schedules.
