| | Dental Caries 1995 |
| | Dental caries is a dynamic process; periods of demineralization alternate with periods of remineralization.(1,2) If destruction exceeds repair, a preclinical, demineralized, subsurface carious lesion becomes a frank clinical cavity characterized by a breakdown of surface enamel and extension of the decay into the dentine. | | | Since many different dental caries preventatives have proven effective, research into the most effective and efficient combinations of preventive interventions, and the optimal frequency of their use, is important. | | | The early clinical detection of incipient carious lesions has aroused interest recently because of the possibility that primary prevention (e.g., through the use of topical fluoride) may enhance remineralization and even arrest decay.(37,38) The benefits of detection and focused prevention procedures, rather than global prevention, have not been evaluated in a clinical trial. |

| | Caries was treated as gangrene of other parts of the body was treated at that time, by surgical removal. | | | Advising patients to change their food choices and to eat less often was a rational approach, but few individuals took that advice. | | | It will be desirable to stop using the term 'treatment' for such repair, because the standard of care for caries treatment is now behavioral and biochemical, not mechanical. |

| | Blood Lead Level and Dental Caries in School-Age Children |
| | At the time of the baseline clinical dental examination, a child's parent was interviewed regarding family demographics and dental practices, and a pediatric phlebotomist drew a blood sample from the child by venipuncture into a heparinized Vacutainer. | | | The analyses presented are based on the number of carious surfaces identified by means of the baseline clinical dental examination. | | | Even if the association noted in the urban subgroup between lead level and caries prevalence is causal, caution should be exercised in drawing inferences about quantitative aspects of the dose-effect relationship. |

| | Prevention of Dental Caries in Preschool Children |
| | The USPSTF concludes that the evidence is insufficient to recommend for or against routine risk assessment of preschool children by primary care clinicians for the prevention of dental disease. | | | Thus, the USPSTF concluded there is insufficient evidence to determine the balance between the benefits and harms of routine risk assessment to prevent dental disease among preschool children. | | | Rationale: The USPSTF found no validated risk-assessment tools or algorithms for assessing dental disease risk by primary care clinicians and little evidence that primary care clinicians are able to systematically assess risk for dental disease among preschool-aged children. |

| | Breastfed children can and do have caries, but at a greatly reduced rate compared to children who are bottle-fed from birth.1,15 The fact that some breastfed children do have problems with decay probably correlates more with inherited weaknesses in the enamel, general care of the teeth, and other non-milk foods consumed. | | | For families with a history of dental problems, every effort should be made to avoid these practices. | | | Thus, family history may put a child at risk for caries in two ways: the child may inherit weak enamel from the genetic contribution of one or both parents, and he may become infected with bacteria present in the parents' mouths. |
