What is the role of biofilm in caries?

Dental biofilm, a sticky layer of bacteria, acts as a breeding ground for acid-producing bacteria that erode tooth enamel, leading to caries.

How does saliva contribute to caries?

Saliva helps neutralize acids produced by bacteria, remineralize enamel, and wash away food debris. However, low saliva flow or altered composition can increase caries susceptibility.

What is the role of nutrition in caries development?

Frequent consumption of sugary foods and drinks provides fuel for acid-producing bacteria in dental biofilm, increasing caries risk.

What are the stages of caries development?

Dental caries progresses through stages, starting with initial enamel demineralization, then progressing to dentin involvement, and finally reaching the pulp.

How is caries risk assessed?

Caries risk assessment considers factors like medical history, dietary habits, oral hygiene practices, and salivary flow to predict individual susceptibility to caries.

What is dental caries?

Dental caries, or tooth decay, is a disease that happens when bacteria in your mouth create acids that eat away at the enamel, the hard outer layer of your teeth. It's caused by a combination of bacteria, sugars (diet), and low pH levels.

What is a biofilm?

A biofilm is a sticky layer of bacteria and slime that forms on tooth surfaces. It's basically a micro-community of bacteria that live together and communicate.

How does diet affect dental caries?

A diet high in sugars greatly contributes to dental caries. Bacteria in the biofilm feed on sugars and produce acids, lowering the pH level in your mouth and causing tooth decay.

What causes an imbalance in demineralization and remineralization?

Dental caries happens when the process of demineralization (loss of minerals from tooth enamel) outweighs the process of remineralization (regrowth of minerals). This happens due to acidic attacks from bacteria.

What is dysbiosis?

Dysbiosis means an imbalance in the 'good' and 'bad' bacteria in your mouth. This can lead to dental caries.

What is the CariesCare 4D Cycle?

The CariesCare 4D Cycle is a model for managing dental caries. It involves four steps: Determine, Detect, Decide, and Do.

What is the 'Determine' step?

This step involves assessing the patient's individual caries risk factors. Things like diet, oral hygiene habits, and genetics can all affect their risk of developing cavities.

What is the 'Detect' step?

This step involves carefully examining the patient's teeth to look for any signs of existing cavities. This could involve visual inspection, x-rays, or other tests.

Signup and view all the flashcards

What is the 'Decide' step?

Based on the patient's risk assessment and the presence or absence of cavities, a specific treatment plan is developed. This might include preventive measures, restorative treatments, or a combination of both.

What is the 'Do' step?

This is the action phase. This could include things like applying fluoride, cleaning and removing plaque, filling cavities, or any other necessary procedures.

What is caries?

Caries, also known as tooth decay, is a process that involves bacteria breaking down tooth enamel, weakening and ultimately damaging the tooth structure. It happens when there's an imbalance between the minerals in saliva that rebuild enamel and the acids produced by bacteria that dissolve it.

Caries 4-D Cycle

The Caries 4-D cycle is a framework used to manage caries. It emphasizes four key steps: (1) Determine the risk factors for caries, (2) Detect the presence of caries, (3) Decide on the best treatment plan, and (4) Do the necessary actions (prevention, treatment, etc.).

Biofilm

Biofilm is a sticky, slimy layer that forms on your teeth, made up of bacteria, food particles, and saliva. This film is the main culprit behind caries, as it houses bacteria that produce acids that eat away at your enamel.

Demineralization

Demineralization is the process where minerals are lost from your tooth enamel, making it weaker and more susceptible to decay. This happens when acids produced by bacteria in biofilm dissolve the minerals in your enamel.

Remineralization

Remineralization is the process of rebuilding the structure of your tooth enamel by replacing lost minerals. Saliva naturally helps with remineralization, and fluoride can strengthen this process.

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.
