Preventive aspects of root caries

H Keltjens, T Schaeken, H van der Hoeven

    International Dental Journal
    |April 1, 1993
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Preventing root caries requires intensive measures, similar to enamel caries prevention but with a stronger focus on fluoride and antimicrobials. Tailoring prevention to individual risk categories is key for effective root caries management.

    Area of Science:

    • Dental science
    • Caries research
    • Preventive dentistry

    Background:

    • Increasing exposed root surfaces elevate root caries risk.
    • Root and enamel caries share similar pathogenesis.
    • Dentin/cement's lower critical pH necessitates intensive root caries prevention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore preventive strategies for root caries.
    • To highlight the importance of intensive preventive measures.
    • To propose a risk-based approach for root caries management.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing studies on root caries prevention.
    • Analysis of the role of fluoride and antimicrobials.
    • Development of a risk categorization model.

    Main Results:

    • Fluoride is a primary agent for root caries prevention.
    • Antimicrobials like chlorhexidine show efficacy.
    • A three-tiered risk categorization is proposed.

    Conclusions:

    • Intensified preventive strategies are crucial for root caries.
    • Fluoride and chlorhexidine are key preventive agents.
    • Individualized risk assessment optimizes root caries prevention.
