Stages of Dental Caries Development by yana.robota13 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Dental caries, or tooth decay, is a common infectious disease affecting individuals of all ages, characterized by the demineralization of dental tissues and the formation of cavities. It is primarily caused by bacteria that produce acid from dietary sugars, leading to plaque buildup and eventual tooth decay if not treated. The progression of caries occurs in four stages, with treatment focusing on halting mineral loss and addressing the underlying bacterial presence.
