Term
mutans streptococcus (demineralize enamel)
lactobacillus |
|
Definition
| bacteria implicated in caries infection |
|
|
Term
acids from bacterial plaque -demineralization
demineralization proceeds to cavitation ( in enamel)
demineralization proceeds to root softening ( cementum/dentin)
bacterial invasion |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
originally start off as a white spot
root surface proceeds to cavitation
break down in the outer surface of tooth
lactobacilli will make hole bigger
demineralization - cannot be seen when wet or with plaque |

|
Term
|
Definition
- smooth surface caries on the facial or lingual surface of both anterior and posterior teeth in the gingival third; may involve cementum or dentin as well as enamel surfaces( two cones tip to base) ; typically soft tissue margin (patients are old with recession also)
- noncarious smooth surface loss of tooth sub lesion
