Caries and Restoration Prevention
The Journal of the American Dental Association, 2008The authors analyzed studies of decayed, missing and filled (DMF) rates for surfaces and teeth in Norway published during the last 30 years. The result of active fluoride therapy combined with a change in criteria for when to place restorations led to a marked reduction in the need for restorations.The authors reviewed independent, cross-sectional DMF ...

Antimicrobials in Caries Prevention
Clinical Dentistry Reviewed, 2016Regularly removing biofilm and controlling risk factors are essential to the individual and the clinician for managing dental caries. As an alternative way of preventing and managing the disease, researchers have developed and investigated antimicrobial agents to counter the bacterial component in the caries process.

A clear understanding of the mechanism of action of fluoride and its pharmacokinetics would ensure appropriate clinical use of fluoride and fluoride-containing modalities. Convincing evidence exists that fluoride has a major effect on the demineralization and remineralization of dental hard tissues, and that it interferes with the acid production from "

Natural Products and Caries Prevention
Caries Research, 2015Dental caries is considered as the most common polymicrobial oral disease in the world. With the aim of developing alternative approaches to reduce or prevent the decay, numerous papers showed the potential anticaries activity of a number of natural products. The natural products with anticaries effects are selected from e.g.

The Role of Diet in Caries Prevention
2016Diet is one of the most important aetiological factors in dental caries. This chapter describes the relationship between sugar consumption and dental caries through history. Cariogenicity of food items and diet as well as factors that influence the cariogenicity are reviewed. The interplay of diet with other preventive measures also receives attention.

Can Prevention Eliminate Caries?
Advances in Dental Research, 1995There are four main factors involved in the carious process: at-risk tooth structure, plaque flora, fermentable carbohydrates, and time. Based on our knowledge of the carious process, four main preventive strategies have been developed over the years, namely, fluorides, fissure sealing, dietary choice, and plaque control.

The Role of Chlorhexidine in Caries Prevention
Operative Dentistry, 2008SUMMARY The use of chlorhexidine for caries prevention has been a controversial topic among dental educators and clinicians. In several reviews, it has been concluded that the most persistent reduction of mutans streptococci have been achieved by chlorhexidine varnishes, followed by gels and, lastly, mouth rinses.

Preventive treatment of fissure caries
Journal of Dentistry, 1973Abstract A trial of a simple means of reducing caries in fissures is described. Petralit was applied to first permanent molars on one side of the mouth; a marked reduction in caries was observed after approximately 2 years. Some factors affecting the clinical applications are discussed.

THE SCIENCE AND PRACTICE OF CARIES PREVENTION
The Journal of the American Dental Association, 2000Dental caries is a bacterially based disease. When it progresses, acid produced by bacterial action on dietary fermentable carbohydrates diffuses into the tooth and dissolves the carbonated hydroxyapatite mineral--a process called demineralization.
