Q

Besides Agent, Environment and host etiological factors for caries. What are other additional etiologic factors?

A
  • Time:
    • Demineralization (and subsequent cavitation) and remineralization
    • can be stopped or reversed
  • Fluoride:
    • In solution - can facilitate the arrest of lesion or aid in remineralization (“repair”
  • Saliva:
    • Protective mechanism
      • Promote bacterial clearance
      • Direct antimicrobial activity
      • Capacity as a buffer
      • Remineralization
    • Saliva can dramatically alter the oral ecosystem
    • Lower salivary quality and or quantity (xerostomia=dry mouth) typically have increased caries rate
  • Social and demographic factors
