Indices of Root Surface Caries

open access: yesJournal of Dental Research, 1990
Despite the increasing international interest in recent years in the epidemiology of root surface caries, there is no agreement on the diagnostic criteria to be used when the condition is recorded. In this paper the different methods used by dental epidemiologists are reviewed.

Root caries: a periodontal perspective

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, 2013
Background and objectiveA prevailing dental problem in the periodontal patient is root caries. Specifically, periodontal involvement often results in root surfaces becoming exposed and at risk for this condition. Periodontal therapy often leads to increased gingival recession as well, and the associated increased root caries risk may compromise the ...

The Predominant Aciduric Microflora of Root-Caries Lesions

open access: yesJournal of Dental Research, 2001
The etiology of root caries is not fully understood, and although mutans streptococci, lactobacilli, and A. naeslundii have been implicated in its initiation and progression, this study was designed to determine the potential role of other microbial ...

Epidemiology of root caries

Gerodontology, 1993
Many epidemiological studies have been conducted on a variety of populations. Unfortunately, comparison of the prevalence data, and to a lesser degree of the incidence data, between the various studies is of little use due to the lack of standardised diagnostic criteria, reporting methods and population diversity.

ROOT CARIES

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, 2007
The prevalence of root caries has increased in recent years, and the elderly population and irradiated patients are at particular risk. Prevention and treatment of root caries has become an important issue in restorative dentistry. The articles in this Critical Appraisal present different treatment options for this oral disease.

Human Root Caries: Microbiota of a Limited Number of Root Caries Lesions

Caries Research, 2009
The microbiota of root caries lesions of different grades of severity were studied. Fourteen lesions were examined. The experimental design of the study allowed correlation of histopathologically distinguishable stages with specific and distinct microbial populations.

The Diagnosis of Root Caries

Journal of Dental Education, 2001
The most commonly used clinical signs of root caries are visual (color, contour, surface cavitation) and tactile (surface texture) descriptions of a lesion. The traditional methods of visual‐tactile diagnosis for root caries can produce a correct diagnosis but usually not until the lesion is at an advanced stage.

Assessing Root Caries in Populations: The Evolution of the Root Caries Index

Journal of Public Health Dentistry, 1980
This paper traces the history of the epidemiologic assessment of root caries over the past 30 years. This history clearly points out that a critical junction has been reached between the state-of-the art for the reporting of root caries and the demand placed on research and service components of the oral health system.

Dietary models for root caries

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1995
A stepwise multiple logistic regression was computed to assess which of the nutritional variables differentiate the healthy and diseased group of participants in the Forsyth Specialized Caries Center (n = 275). Variables considered as candidates for the model included the consumption per week of sugars, starch, cheese, fruits and fruit juices ...

Specificities of Caries on Root Surface

2017
Variations in organic and inorganic composition and morphology may determine different susceptibilities of root surfaces to caries. Subsequent to gingival recession, root surfaces become exposed and those areas where Sharpey's fibers system was once inserted into the cementum are converted into canals for microbial penetration.
