Biologic Preparation of Diseased Root Surfaces,

Journal of Periodontology, 1980
Untreated periodontally‐involved teeth contain cementum‐bound endotoxin, that may prevent periodontal new attachment during healing after pocket therapy. The purpose of this study was to restore biocompatibiltty to diseased root surfaces by a non‐invasive treatment.

Arrest of Root Surface Caries in situ

Journal of Dental Research, 1997
This study tests the hypothesis that daily oral hygiene combined with topical fluoride arrests active root-surface caries lesions without changing the mineral content of the lesions. Therefore, changes in mineral content and distribution were studied in root surfaces during caries lesion development and subsequent arrest of lesion progression in situ.

MUCILAGES AT THE ROOT SURFACE

Journal of Soil Science, 1978
Summary The mucilaginous material, which forms a layer several microns thick around plant roots, contains a glucan, a polyuronide, and heterogeneous polysaccharides. An assessment is given of the effects of the mucilage on ion and water uptake by plants, on soil chemical and physical properties including aggregation, and as an energy ...

Root surface caries and associated factors

European Journal of Oral Sciences, 1990
Abstract – The prevalence of root surfaces caries in 208 randomly selected 55, 65, and 75‐yr‐old Swedes was related to the frequency of coronal caries, the number of remaining teeth and to bacteriologic, salivary, and dietary variables. At least one decayed or filled root surface was found in 89% of the individuals and all of those had also ...

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.

Surface Tension of Root Canal Irrigants

Journal of Endodontics, 2000
The aim of this study was to evaluate the surface tension values of established and potential endodontic irrigants to which a surface active agent had not been added. Additionally, Cetredixine, a surfactant-containing 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate solution, was included in the measurements.

Demineralization and Remineralization of Root Surface Caries

Gerodontology, 1986
Although enamel, cementum and dentin all develop carious lesions in roughly the same manner there are significant differences between enamel and the other two tissues. While early enamel lesions are white, root surface lesions in cementum or dentin are light brown or yellow.

Clinical Performance of Root Surface Restorations

2017
This chapter describes the clinical performance of restorations placed in root caries lesions. The prevalence of root caries and other types of cervical lesions, caused by abfraction, erosion, and abrasion (non-carious cervical lesions) are high, mainly in the elderly; and therefore, restorative procedures are indicated.

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.

Microbiology of Root Surface Caries in Humans

Journal of Dental Research, 1990
Studies on the microbiology of root surface caries between 1970 and 1975 placed emphasis on Gram-positive pleomorphic filamentous rods, particularly Actinomyces viscosus and Actinomyces naeslundii. Both of these species had been shown to produce root surface caries in experimental animals.
