Q

Reasons why secondary/recurrent cavities occur.

A
  1. Not all caries have been removed during cavity prep.
  2. Cavity was not sealed properly, allowing bacteria to enter that space.

27
Q

Caries Based on the Direction of the Attack

A

A

Forward Caries

It is based on the direction of dentinal tubules and enamel rods.

A

Backward Caries

30
Q

Caries Based on the Number of Surfaces Involved

  1. Nursing Caries
  2. Rampant Caries
33
Q

Categories under Early Childhood Caries

A
  1. Type I (Mild) - molars/incisors of 2-5 year old kids due to their food intake and lack of oral hygiene
  2. Type II (Moderate) - unaffected mandi incisors; from inappropriate feeding and lack of oral hygiene; occurs after the first tooth erupts
  3. Type III (Severe) - all teeth are affected and is caused by multitude of factors
34
Q

Caries is also described to be a rapidly burrowing type, with a small enamel opening.

A

Adolescent Caries/Teenage Caries

35
Q
