	Pediatric Oncall- DENTAL CARIES (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Dental Caries is the most common of all oral diseases, and since the average individual has his first experience with this disease in childhood, it is particularly important to deal with it from the 1st to his 12th year of life.
		For early treatment of dental caries, it is of utmost importance at what age the child gets his first dental checkup.
		Dental Caries very often appears as a white chalky area on the enamel.

		Dental sealants are highly effective in preventing dental caries that occur on the surfaces of teeth that have pits and fissures.

	Physicians' Roles in Preventing Dental Caries in Preschool Children: Summary of the Evidence
		Dental caries can occur soon after eruption of the primary teeth, starting at 6 months of age, and 19 percent of children aged 2 to 5 have at least 1 primary tooth with untreated decay.
		Dental caries is unequally distributed among the population, with caries incidence, prevalence, and severity being greater among minority and economically disadvantaged children than among other groups.
		Although the complete scope of opportunities for physician intervention for the prevention of dental diseases is much wider than simply the prevention of dental caries in preschool children, the rationale for focusing on preschool children and dental caries is compelling.

	Dental Caries
		The word "caries" is derived from the Latin word for "rot" or "rotten" and describes pretty well what tooth decay is. Dental caries leads to cavities and even tooth loss if not treated.
		Dental caries is the most common of all diseases, second only to the common cold in prevalence.
		Dental caries is of particular threat to children under 12 years of age, but are also widespread in adults.

	Dental caries - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Caries can also be described as "mesial" or "distal." Mesial signifies a location on a tooth closer to the median line of the face, which is located on a vertical axis between the eyes, down the nose, and between the contact of the central incisors.
		The earliest sign of a carious lesion is the appearance of a chalky white spot on the surface of the tooth, indicating an area of demineralization of enamel.
		Dental radiographs, produced when X-rays are passed through the jaw and picked up on film or digital sensor, may show dental caries before it is otherwise visible, particularly in the case of caries on interproximal (between the teeth) surfaces.

	The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus Development Program: Diagnosis and Management of Dental Caries ...
		Nearly 20 percent of children between the ages of 2 and 4 have detectable caries, and by the age of 17 almost 80 percent of young people have had a cavity-a late manifestation of dental caries infection.
		It should be noted that dental caries is an infectious, communicable disease resulting in destruction of tooth structure by acid-forming bacteria found in dental plaque, an intraoral biofilm, in the presence of sugar.
		With the defining of caries as a multifactorial, multistage process extending from infection to demineralization and cavitation, clear diagnostic and staging criteria as well as a clear understanding of risk and prognosis are needed to determine dental treatment options.

		Currently the treatment of dental caries is focused mainly on a surgical model of removing the carious tooth structure followed by replacement with a restorative material.
		This model recognizes that dental caries is a chronic process having episodes of activity and inactivity and that with early recognition of the disease process (before cavitation) intervention will stop and even reverse the disease process (remineralization of the non-cavitated lesion).

	Advocacy Update -- Dental Caries
		Dental caries are the most prevalent of infectious diseases in our nation’s children.
		Decreased use of dental care is also linked to misperceptions that younger children do not need to visit the dentist because their teeth are not permanent, or providers being unaware or unable to obtain dental services in accordance with the latest recommendation by the AAP guidelines.
		Dental caries provide a reservoir of contagion for abscesses, cellulites and systemic spread of disease.

	Recommendations for Using Fluoride to Prevent and Control Dental Caries in the United States
		Dental caries is an infectious, transmissible disease in which bacterial by-products (i.e., acids) dissolve the hard surfaces of teeth.
		The prevalence of dental caries in a population is not inversely related to the concentration of fluoride in enamel (37), and a higher concentration of enamel fluoride is not necessarily more efficacious in preventing dental caries (38).
		That is, the percent reduction in the prevalence or severity of dental caries from a combination of modalities is higher than the percent reduction from each modality, but less than the sum of the percent reduction of the modalities combined.

		Dental caries, a pathological process of destruction of tooth structure by microorganisms, is also known as tooth decay and is commonly called "cavities." Dental plaque, which leads to caries, is the oral flora which adhere to teeth and break down tooth enamel.
		Archaeological evidence from preColumbian Mesoamerica indicates that dental caries became prevalent among people at about the time the agriculture shifted to the triumvirate of maize, beans, and squash, all of which have high sugar contents.
		It was interesting to look at dental caries from both microbiological and chemical perspectives and how they combined to cause tooth decay.

		Caries diagnosis, for example, was "more accurately" described at the International Caries Detection and Assessment System Workshop as caries detection and assessment.
		"The five stages reflect different steps in the development of dental caries in tooth surfaces and the different levels of care that would be required, ranging from preventive to operative care," said Dr. Amid Ismail, a workshop organizer and University of Michigan School of Dentistry professor.

	Fluorides and the changing prevalence of dental caries -- Leverett 217 (4554): 26 -- Science
		Community water fluoridation and individual use of fluorides have brought about a marked reduction in the prevalence of dental caries in the United States during the past 35 years.
		There is evidence that the prevalence of caries is declining in communities with unfluoridated water as well as in those with fluoridated water.
		This phenomenon may be related to an increase of fluoride in the food chain, especially from the use of fluoridated water in food processing, increased use of infant formulas with measurable fluoride content, and even unintentional ingestion of fluoride dentifrices.
