J Calif Dent Assoc Oct. 2007 Young, et al. J Calif Dent Assoc Oct. 2007 Caries: The New Paradigm MEDICAL management of caries Treatment of dental caries as a disease Caries: Terminology “Caries” – from the Latin for ‘rot’ or ‘rotten’ DENTAL CARIES is a disease • PEOPLE have caries • TEETH have carious lesions Caries: Terminology “Caries” – from the Latin for ‘rot’ or ‘rotten’ DENTAL CARIES is a disease • A rotten tooth = a carious tooth • An area of rot = a carious lesion Caries: A Brief History Ancient societies • little/no enamel caries • some root caries • associated with gum recession/bone loss • progressed slowly Caries: A Brief History Ancient societies • little/no enamel caries • some root caries • associated with gum recession/bone loss • progressed slowly Caries: A Brief History The Caries Epidemic • Europe and U.S. in 1700’s • REFINED SUCROSE! • RAPID progression • Began in tooth ENAMEL • Cause was a mystery Caries: A Brief History The Caries Epidemic • Cause was a mystery! Caries: A Brief History Treatment of Caries • 3 historical phases Caries: A Brief History Phase 1 (1700’s-early 1900’s) • Caries = GANGRENE of the teeth Diagnosis = Pain Treatment: • amputation (extraction) • local debridement • fillings? Caries: A Brief History Phase 2 (early 1900’s-1970’s) • Refined filling technology • Fillings preferred over extractions • Cavity shapes driven by filling material properties INVASIVE G.V. Black Caries: A Brief History Phase 2 (early 1900’s-1970’s) • Refined filling technology • Fillings preferred over extractions • Cavity shapes driven by filling material properties INVASIVE Caries: A Brief History Phase 2 (early 1900’s-1970’s) Diagnosis = DETECTION • the earlier, the better • visual, sharp explorer, radiograph Etiology • acid-producing bacteria Prevention • plaque removal and diet Caries: A Brief History Phase 2 (early 1900’s-1970’s) Standard of Care = RESTORATION Phase 3: The Present… Caries: Our Present Understanding Caries is NOT gangrene Caries is a complex DISEASE Caries: Our Present Understanding 1. Caries is a bacterial disease • S. mutans, lactobacilli, A. viscosus • S. sobrinus • acidogenic, acid tolerant Bacteria in dentinal tubules Liquefaction of dentin caused by fusion of bacterial accumulations Caries: Our Present Understanding 2. Caries is dependant on dietary sucrose • affects thickness and chemistry of plaque Caries: Our Present Understanding 3. Caries is driven by the frequency of eating • deminremin balance Caries: Our Present Understanding 4. Caries is modified by fluoride • harder tooth structure • inhibits acid production by bacteria Caries: Our Present Understanding 4. Caries is modified by fluoride, calcium, and phosphate • harder tooth structure • inhibits acid production by bacteria Caries: Our Present Understanding 5. Caries is modified by saliva • buffering • deminremin balance • low flow = HIGH risk!

Caries is a bacterial disease Change the microflora topical chlorhexidine and topical fluoride Caries Management by Risk Assessment 2. Caries is dependant on dietary sucrose Reduce dietary sucrose Add Xylitol Xylitol Acts directly on bacteria Sugar alcohol Gets substituted for fructose in bacterial metabolism cycle • No acid production • Acidogenic bacteria die • Environmental shift favoring nonpathogenic bacteria • New biofilm is not as harmful Xylitol Works synergistically with other remin therapies Caries in young children – whole family should use xylitol to combat the INFECTION 6-10 g/day (6-10 servings of gum) Caries Management by Risk Assessment 3. Caries is driven by the frequency of eating Decrease the frequency of eating Caries Management by Risk Assessment 4. Caries is modified by fluoride, calcium, and phosphate Add fluoride, calcium, & phosphate Caries Management by Risk Assessment 5. Caries is modified by saliva Increase salivary flow • • mechanical stimulation/vigorous chewing changing drugs which reduce flow Caries Management by Risk Assessment Assessment Determine Risk Status • Low • Medium • High • Extreme Caries Management by Risk Assessment Clinical Protocol (specific for risk status) • • • • • • • • • Frequency of radiographs Frequency of caries recall exams Saliva test (flow rate, bacterial culture) Antimicrobials (chlorhexidine, xylitol) Behavior Modifications Fluoride (OTC, Rx, varnish) Calcium/Phosphate Sealants Restorations Caries Management by Risk Assessment Monitor • Are the non-invasive interventions working? • Adjust risk status and clinical protocol accordingly Caries Risk Assessment Form Disease Indicators Risk Factors Protective Factors Saliva Deficiency Causes Medication Side Effects Stress Dehydration Salivary Gland Dysfunction Disease Hormonal Imbalance Smoking Signs Difficulty Eating or Swallowing Tongue Sticking to the Roof of your Mouth/Cheeks Sticking to Teeth Changes in Taste Inadequate Denture Retention Increased Rate of Decay Soft Tissue trauma Saliva Testing Saliva Testing Saliva-Check® (GC America) 10 minute test • Salivary Production • Salivary Consistency • Resting Saliva pH • Stimulated Saliva Flow • Stimulated Saliva pH • Saliva Buffering Capacity Saliva Check® (GC America) When?
