Study Notes

Diagnosis and Treatment Planning

  • Accurate diagnosis of lesions, including location and extent, is crucial for treatment planning.

Preventive Measures

  • Procedures aimed at preventing disease before symptoms appear are important.

### Interproximal Cavities

  • Areas between teeth can harbor food debris and lead to fermentation, increasing the risk of interproximal cavities.
  • Each tooth has a "danger zone" below its contact point where interproximal cavities are common.

Food Debris Accumulation Areas

  • Areas below the tooth's widest point (buccal deflection ridge) and the cervical third of buccal and lingual surfaces are prone to food debris accumulation.

Caries Classification: Number of Surfaces Affected

  • Caries are classified numerically based on the number of surfaces affected.
  • Complex caries involve more than two surfaces.

Mount and Hume's Classification

  • Mount and Hume's classification focuses on lesion size and location, addressing limitations in Black's classification.
  • Black's classification was criticized for not specifying lesion size.
