Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Interest among researchers in the diagnosis, aetiology, prevention, and treatment of root caries has increased substantially over the past two decades. However, there are some fundamental problems impeding the advancement of the field which remain to be addressed and resolved. A universally acceptable definition of root caries is not yet available. The relationship of root caries to coronal caries has not been established. The underlying disease process is still not clearly understood. The optimal utilisation of preventive/therapeutic agents for the treatment or prevention of root caries has not been determined. New treatment materials and preventive agents have not yet been tested in controlled clinical trials. These are a few of the issues and problems which we address in this paper. |
