Study Notes

G.V. Black's Classification of Dental Caries

  • Class I caries affect the pits and fissures found on both anterior and posterior teeth, typically located on chewing surfaces.
  • Class II caries occur on the proximal surfaces of posterior teeth, often involving the occlusal surfaces, which are crucial for mastication.
  • Class III caries involve the proximal surfaces of anterior teeth but do not affect the incisal edge, focusing on the interproximal areas.
  • Class IV caries affect the proximal surfaces of anterior teeth and include the incisal edge, compromising both aesthetics and functionality.
  • Class V caries are found on the cervical (gingival) portion of the facial or lingual surfaces, typically at the gum line, affecting the health of the gingiva.
  • Class VI caries are characterized by decay on the incisal edge of anterior teeth or the cusp tips of posterior teeth, directly impacting bite function and tooth integrity.
