Dental Caries (Tooth Decay) Dental Caries is a kind of infective disease occurred in the hard tissue of the tooth. Dental caries is a demineralization of the tooth surface caused by bacteria
Dental Caries (Tooth Decay) • Dental Caries is a kind of infective disease occurred in the hard tissue of the tooth. • Dental caries is a demineralization of the tooth surface caused by bacteria

6 phases of the process of caries(1) The tooth surface is demineralized. The translucent zone is formed under the surface at first. Clinical exam and radiography show no change in the tooth
6 phases of the process of caries(1) • The tooth surface is demineralized. • The translucent zone is formed under the surface at first. • Clinical exam and radiography show no change in the tooth

6 phases of the process of caries(2) Demineralization goes on.The translucent zone becomes larger. Remineralization takes place in some area. The dark zone is formed
6 phases of the process of caries(2) • Demineralization goes on. The translucent zone becomes larger. • Remineralization takes place in some area. • The dark zone is formed

6 phases of the process of caries(3) Demineralization exceeds remineralization. The body of the lesion is formed. ·Ve can see a chalky white spot on the tooth surface
6 phases of the process of caries(3) • Demineralization exceeds remineralization. • The body of the lesion is formed. • We can see a chalky white spot on the tooth surface

6 phases of the process of caries(4) The pigment from the oral cavity goes into the lesion. The white spot becomes brown or black
