[A bio-electrochemical theory in pathogenesis of dental caries]

Since the Bio-electrochemical theory in pathogenesis of dental caries was suggested by Huang (1990), many experimental proofs have obtained in studies of dental bio-electrical potential and dielectric properties of the tooth. Recently, the model of the electrochemical artificial dental caries that have directly proved Huang's theory was developed successfully in laboratory. This paper make a systematic exposition of the bio-electrochemical theory in pathogenesis of dental caries.
