    Summary

    Root surface caries (RSC) affects 20-40% of populations, increasing with age. Prevention involves fluoride, hygiene, diet, and glass ionomer fillings, but more research is needed.

    Area of Science:

    • Dental Science
    • Public Health

    Context:

    • Root surface caries (RSC) is a growing dental concern, particularly in aging populations.
    • Prevalence rates range from 20% to 40%, influenced by diagnostic criteria and demographics.

    Purpose:

    • To review current knowledge on the etiology, clinical presentation, treatment, and prevention of root surface caries.
    • To highlight the increasing prevalence and impact of RSC in dentistry.

    Summary:

    • Effective prevention strategies include meticulous oral hygiene, dietary counseling, fluoridated water, and topical fluoride applications.
    • Glass ionomer cements are the preferred restorative material for root surface cavities due to their efficacy.
    • Epidemiological data underscore RSC as a significant and escalating oral health issue.

    Impact:

    • Emphasizes the need for further research to address knowledge gaps in all aspects of root surface caries.
    • Informs dental professionals and public health officials about current best practices and challenges in managing RSC.
