A progressive, irreversible disease affecting tooth structure, characterized by demineralization of inorganic components and destruction of organic parts.

Indicates the rate at which new or existing cavities progress over time.

Reflects the likelihood of developing new cavities in an individual over a period.

A research approach investigating the relationship between risk factors and caries development.

Groups individuals based on their perceived caries risk (high vs. low).

The effectiveness of a single preventive measure is greater when the overall population's caries risk is high.

A strong link exists between a single risk factor (e.g., sugar intake) and the likelihood of developing caries when the overall population risk is high.

The prediction of caries development, considering the likelihood of future cavities based on individual risk factors.

A strategy that aims to identify individuals at a high risk of developing dental caries and provide them with tailored preventive measures.

A group of individuals who are at an increased risk of developing dental caries due to their age or specific biological factors.

The age group from 1 to 2 years when infants are particularly susceptible to developing caries due to their developing teeth and the transmission of caries-causing bacteria from mothers.

The age group from 5 to 7 years when children are at increased risk due to the eruption of their first molars and undergoing secondary enamel maturation.

The age group from 11 to 14 years during which the eruption of second molars occurs, making them more susceptible to caries.

The process by which enamel hardens and matures after eruption, making it more resistant to decay.

The ability of fluoride to prevent caries is more effective in newly erupted teeth than in teeth that have reached full maturity.

Third molars, or wisdom teeth, are newly erupted and prone to cavities, especially on chewing surfaces and the sides facing other teeth. Young adults may also have changes in diet and oral hygiene due to leaving home for work or studies.

People who frequently eat, especially if they are obese or have a job that involves tasting food, are at increased risk of tooth decay.

Individuals with certain health conditions, like those taking medication or having mental health issues, are more susceptible to cavities due to weakened immune systems or changes in saliva.

Molars are the most common teeth to get cavities because of their complex grooves and surfaces, where food can easily get trapped.

The chewing surfaces of molars and the sides of teeth next to each other are prime locations for cavities due to food getting trapped.

The surfaces between teeth, especially in the back of the mouth, are prone to cavities because they are harder to clean.

A test to assess the risk of developing cavities, considering the environment of the mouth and the person's lifestyle.

Reliable, accurate, simple, fast, and should measure factors involved in the cavity development process.

Measures the rate of tooth enamel demineralization by observing color changes in a solution with powdered enamel and glucose.

Indicates how quickly bacteria in saliva convert sugars into acids.

Tests the presence and activity of a specific enzyme (reductase) in saliva, which is linked to caries activity.

Measures the volume of saliva produced during a specific time period, usually after stimulation.

A swab test with a specific medium that contains an indicator dye sensitive to pH changes caused by bacterial acid production.

A modified Snyder test, where unstimulated saliva is collected and incubated for several days to assess bacterial activity.

A color change from green to yellow indicates different levels of caries activity.

The color of the solution indicates different levels of caries activity.

A test that estimates the number of acidogenic and aciduric microorganisms in saliva by counting the number of colonies grown on peptone agar plates after inoculation with a saliva sample.

A quantitative measure of the number of Lactobacillus colonies present, indicating the level of caries-causing bacteria activity.

A method of collecting saliva for microbiological testing, involving chewing paraffin to stimulate saliva production.

A type of agar used for cultivating and identifying Lactobacillus bacteria.

The ability of microorganisms to produce acid from carbohydrates.

The ability of microorganisms to survive in acidic environments.

A pH indicator dye used in the Snyder test, changing color based on the acidity of the medium.
