Abstract

Dental caries is an infectious, microbiological disease that results in localized dissolution and destruction of the calcified tissues of the teeth. Dental caries is a multifactorial disease requiring the presence of a susceptible host, cariogenic microflora, and a diet conducive to enamel demineralization. It is a disease that dates back to antiquity and occurs in populations that have never used sugar or processed foods. Dental caries is considered a disease of modem civilization, since prehistoric man rarely suffered from this form of tooth destruction.
