32
Q

What are the 4 early theories on causes of dental caries?

Endogenous theories
Chemical theory
Parasitic theory

33

This was the first person to reject the worm theory?

A

Gaubari

35
Q

Who are under the early studies? Give their contributions. (3)

A

Pierre Fauchard - Father of modern dentistry and stated sugar is a possible cause of cavities

Willoughby D. Miller - First oral microbiologist and microorganisms caused caries

Miller and G.V. black and J.L. Williams - researched about plaque and investigated the causes of dental caries

36
Q

What are the endogenous theories?

A

Humoral theory

Vital theory

37
Q

Explain the Vital theory

A

This basically states that caries starts from within the tooth like a bone gangrene

38
Q

This person talked about an unidentified chymal agent is responsible for caries

A

Parmly

39
Q

Robertson prosed that dental decay was caused by?

A

Acid formed by the fermentation of food particles around the teeth

40
Q

He described that there were filamentous organisms in the membrane of teeth

A

Erdl

41
Q

Who talked about Denticolae?

A

Ficnus

42
Q

They stated that living microorgranisms continued the disintegration in both enamel and dentin

A

Leber and Rottenstein

43
Q

They stated that bacteria were essential to caries but acids came from an exogenous source

A

Clark, Tomes and Magitot

44
Q

they presented a septic theory

A

Underwood and Miller

45
Q

Discovered different strains of lactobacilli

A

Fernando E. Rodriguez Vargas

46

47
Q

Hamster studies by ________ & ________ showed the direct correlation of bacteria and cavities

A

R.J. Fitzgerald and Paul Keyes

48
Q

What are the 2 steps of the chemo-parasitic theory?

A

Decalcification of enamel and dentin

Dissolution of the softened residue

49
Q

Who proposed the chemo-parasitic theory?

A

Willoughby D. Miller

50
Q

What are the 3 factors according to chemo-parasitic theory?

A

Oral microorganisms
Carbohydrate substrates
Acids

51
Q

What are the drawbacks of the acidogenic theory? (3)

A

Predilection of specific sites on the tooth
Initiation of smooth surface caries
Some populations are caries free

52
Q

The theory that the Gottlieb and Gottlieb proposed?

A

Proteolytic theory

53
Q

Proteolytic theory states that it destroys the ____________ matter first then the decalcification of the hard tissues

A

organic

54
Q

what are the pathways for microorgranism invasion through the enamel?

A

Enamel lamellae and/or enamel rod sheaths

55
Q

Drawbacks of the proteolytic theory

A

No sufficient evidences

Caries still occurred even in absence of proteolytic microorganisms
