Diagnosis of Dental Caries & Prevention

Diagnosis of Dental Caries
Key to the success of a dental procedure begins with proper diagnosis is made to provide care practitioners and patients the necessary precautions. It is the responsibility of the practitioner to accurately record the medical history and given intraoral examination and external risk factors.

Clinical examination to assess the presence of root caries is best done with the explorer that can detect differences in surface properties (eg, soft or hard) and surface contours. The tooth surface should be cleaned when the plaque covering the lesions and lesions may go undiagnosed. Transillumination and direct vision should be used. Important to remember that pain is not a complaint that is often obtained from patients with root caries.

Radiography is an accurate diagnostic tool that is very important and should be free of overlap or burning of the image. Special materials can be useful for detecting root caries, which sometimes show the same color with the dentin. This material is color-infected dentin and allow clinicians to detect hidden caries. Intraoral cameras can be an important tool in educating patients and showed their teeth.

Prevention of Dental Caries Root
Root caries prevention requires proper assessment and observation of the degree of caries risk in patients. Proper precautions to remove plaque, dietary modification, and use topikal22 fluoride, 30 show active caries lesions inhibit significantly.

Preventive measures include educating patients and those who help them to avoid foods that contain sugar, the maintenance of teeth brushing techniques, and proper oral hygiene and get regular dental check ups. Elderly patients (especially with limited manual capabilities) need to be educated about plaque control with the use of interproximal brush or electrical oral hygiene devices.

Many elderly patients are in treatment with anticholinergic side effects. Their doctors need to advise patients about the side effects of some drugs, so that necessary precautions can be done. Clinicians should give special attention to the patients of root caries using dental prostheses. This is achieved with the proper handling of soft tissue during the procedure fixed prosthesis (such as design, contour, and polish) and avoid placement in the coronal restoration margin surrounding tissue. To eliminate the accumulation of plaque. For removable prostheses, retainer and the plane should be placed on areas that are easy to clean which allows the flow of saliva.

As stated previously, fluoride is an appropriate agent for the prevention of root caries due to begin the process of reducing the rate of demineralization and remineralization. There are many methods for providing fluoride. Fluoride in drinking water results in increased resistance to root caries, and the people who live in fluoridated water areas are generally less likely to have caries than those living in areas lacking fluoridated water.

Topical fluoride products are available in a sodium fluoride mouthwash 0.05%, 0.12% chlorhexidine mouthwash, and in a neutral sodium fluoride gel 1.1% using the spoon technique print 5 minutes, with 4 times the application after 2-4 weeks. Other products are toothpaste containing 1100 ppm sodium fluoride, a fluoride chewing gum is effective particularly in patients with low salivary flow and chewing gum containing xylitol, which stimulates saliva flow and reduce plaque formation, although the study did not demonstrate efficacy in preventing caries in adults. Varnish containing fluoride has also been effective against root caries. Dentin adhesive application can have a detrimental effect on the demineralized root surface.
