Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Public Health
  • Preventive Medicine

Background:

  • Caries prevalence has declined in industrialized nations but persists as a primary cause of tooth loss, especially in high-risk groups.
  • Developing countries face rising caries rates due to dietary shifts towards sugar-containing products.
  • Complacency in caries prevention is unwarranted given these global trends.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline future trends and strategies in caries prevention.
  • To highlight the evolving role of technology in dental practice and research.
  • To emphasize the continued importance of established preventive measures.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current caries trends and projected future challenges.
  • Exploration of technological advancements in cariology, including computer-aided design and manufacture (CAD/CAM).
  • Discussion of established and emerging preventive modalities such as fluoride therapy, dental sealants, and dietary modifications.

Main Results:

  • Computers will become integral to clinical practice for caries risk assessment, data recording, and treatment.
  • Fluoride therapy and dental sealants will remain cornerstone preventive measures.
  • Non-fermentable sweeteners and pathogen suppression offer additional avenues for caries reduction.

Conclusions:

  • Future caries prevention will involve a multi-faceted approach combining technological integration with proven methods.
  • Addressing caries as an infectious disease through transmission control and pathogen suppression is crucial.
  • Continued vigilance and innovation are necessary to combat caries effectively worldwide.
