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.

Multifactorial modeling for root caries prediction

Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, 1992
AbstractThe study was pan of a series of investigations aiming at the development of diagnostic caries tests for screening of risk subjects. The material consisted of 100 adult subjects (x̄ 62 yr. range 47–79 yr), 50 of these under chronic medication. The series of tests included two chair side registrations, i.e.

Future directions for root caries research

Gerodontology, 1993
Interest among researchers in the diagnosis, aetiology, prevention, and treatment of root caries has increased substantially over the past two decades. However, there are some fundamental problems impeding the advancement of the field which remain to be addressed and resolved. A universally acceptable definition of root caries is not yet available. The

Detection of Root Caries

1991
The gums cover the roots of teeth in younger humans but recede in older people beginning with the fifth decade. Dental enamel covers the tooth to the gum margin but when the gums recede the roots are exposed, subjecting the exposed root surface to abrasion and decay.

Molecular pathogenesis of root dentin caries

Oral Diseases, 1999
Human dentin has a higher content of organic matrix and more non‐ideal hydroxyapatite than human enamel. Ultrastructural studies indicate that root caries involves both mineral dissolution and breakdown of the organic matrix. Factors involved in the root caries process seem more complicated than those in enamel carieS.

Root surface caries.

Current opinion in periodontology, 1994
Epidemiologic studies have shown that root surface caries are present worldwide. The prevalence and incidence of root surface caries differ widely among different populations but also among individuals within the same group. Differences in diagnostic criterias and reporting of data substantially influence epidemiologic data.

Microbial Etiology of Root Surface Caries

Gerodontology, 1986
Available knowledge relating to the microbiology of root surface caries was reviewed. This included direct information from microbiological observations on human and animal material as well as subsidiary information derived from pertinent dietary studies and histological examination of cemental lesions.

The Epidemiology of Root Surface Caries

Journal of Dental Research, 1990
Although a secular decline is being seen in coronal caries in children in industrialized countries, there appears to be a relatively high prevalence of root caries, with chronologically older adults exhibiting the highest prevalences. This paper reviews the descriptive and analytical epidemiology of root caries as found in recent national, regional ...

The Clinical Identification of Root Caries

Gerodontology, 1986
This paper discusses a variety of considerations associated with the clinical identification of root caries. While focusing upon this clinical identification process from the perspective of the clinical researcher, the differing diagnostic needs between the clinical researcher and the dental practitioner are frequently addressed.

Diagnosis and Prediction of Root Caries

Advances in Dental Research, 1993
Diagnosis is the process of recognizing diseases by their characteristic clinical signs and symptoms. Diagnostic ability varies considerably between and among examiners, and, consequently, the accuracy of the diagnosis can be questioned. Root caries is a disease for which there are several clinical signs (location, color, surface texture, and surface ...
