Dental caries, also known colloquially as tooth decay or dental cavities, is a disease of the teeth resulting in damage to tooth structure. The occurrence of dental caries is widespread globally, and the disease can lead to pain, tooth loss, infections, and, in severe cases, death. The number of cases has decreased in some countries, usually attributed to better oral hygiene and greater preventive measures, such as fluoride exposure. In less developed areas of the world, dental caries continues to be a problem.
Causes
Four factors are necessary for caries to occur: a tooth surface (enamel or dentine); cariogenic (or potentially caries-causing) bacteria; fermentable carbohydrates (such as sucrose); and time.Soames, J.V. and Southam, J.C. (1993). Oral Pathology, second edition, chapter 2 - Dental Caries.
