Multiple Tooth Caries

Multiple dental caries is a dental disease in which several teeth have multiple carious lesions, which can lead to tooth loss. With multiple dental caries, adjacent teeth on both sides are usually affected. Treatment of multiple dental caries is carried out by a dentist using fillings and prosthetics.

Dental caries is one of the most common dental diseases. Typically, the contact surfaces between the teeth are affected, that is, the adjacent surfaces of the lower and upper front teeth, as well as the lower incisors and third molars. But sometimes the fissures (special depressions in the tooth enamel) necessary for fastening the teeth are also affected, the so-called carious process. Due to the anatomical specificity of the upper front teeth, people develop hypertrophied inflammation of the oral mucosa, called Botkin's disease. Against the background of demineralization that occurs with this disease, a pathological process can and even easily develops. Multiple (chronic) caries is represented by two types:

Microscopic and local. Develops with local hypomineralization in the epithelium-enamel system. The cardinal sign is that only one or several points of one tooth are affected (the tooth does not hurt). Pathogenic changes in enamel and dentin are caused by increased permeability or structural defects of the outer layer. Microorganisms are only active as long as the living cells of the dermis are sufficiently capable of resisting the action of the destructive factor. When these cells die, the composition of the environment in the oral cavity changes. An indispensable condition for the onset of the disease is the presence of patho
