LEARNING OBJECTIVES
 At the end of the lecture student should be able to
– define caries
– Describe all theories regarding the caries
– Enlist drawbacks and positive points of all theories
www.indiandentalacademy.com
 DEFINITION -
The word ‘caries’ is derived
from the Latin word, meaning ‘rot’ or ‘decay’.
 In 1880, dental caries came to be “defined as a
disintegration of the tooth surface, molecule by
molecule and a disease that was caused by
fermentation of foods inside the mouth.”
www.indiandentalacademy.com
 STURDEVANT defined it as; “an infectious
microbiological disease that results in localized
dissolution and destruction of the calcified tissues of
the teeth”.
 WHO has said it to be “A localized post eruptive,
pathological process of external origin involving
softening of the hard tooth tissue and proceeding to
the formation of a cavity”.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
1. LEGEND OF WORMS
2. ENDOGENOUS THEORIES
a) HUMORAL THEORY
b) VITAL THEORY
3. CHEMICAL THEORY
4. PARASITIC / SEPTIC THEORY
5. ACIDOGENIC /CHEMICO-PARASITIC THEORY
6. PROTEOLYTIC THEORY
7. PROTEOLYSIS - CHELATION THEORY
8. SUCROSE CHELATION THEORY
www.indiandentalacademy.com
 The writings of Homer evidenced the idea that
caries is caused by worms was universal.
 He made a reference to worms as the cause of
toothache.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
 Humoral theory : proposed that dental caries is
produced by action of acids and corroding humors.
 Vital theory : says that dental caries originated like
bone gangrene, from within the tooth itself.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
 In 1820 it was noticed that dental decay affect
externally.
 It was proposed that an unidentified ‘chemical agent’
was responsible for caries.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
 Earlier it was related for filamentous microorganisms
termed denticolae ,which was thought to be a parasite
as causative basis for tooth decay.
 Latter on the parasitic concept of dental caries was
eliminated.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
 It states that caries is caused by acids produced by
microorganisms in mouth.
 W.D.Miller proposed a hypothesis which states that
“Dental decay is a chemicoparasitic process
consisting of 2stages, the decalcification of enamel,
which results in its total destruction and the
decalcification of dentin as a preliminary stage
followed by dissolution of the softened residue”.www.indiandentalacademy.com
Significance of Miller’s observation :
It stated that there are three factors playing an
important role in caries process –
1.The role of microorganisms in acid production and
proteolysis.
2.The carbohydrate substrate and
3.The acid which causes dissolution of tooth minerals.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Limitations :
1. Unable to explain predilection for specific site on a
tooth to dental caries and the initiation of smooth
surface caries.
2. Doesn’t explain reasons for caries free population
and phenomenon of arrested caries
www.indiandentalacademy.com
The role of carbohydrates :
 The presence of readily fermentable carbohydrates is
responsible for loss of caries resistance.
 Cariogenicity of dietary carbohydrate varies with –
- Frequency of ingestion
- Physical form
- Chemical composition
- Route of administration
- Presence of other food substituents.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
 Polysaccharides are less easily fermented than
monosaccaharides.
 Refined carbohydrates are less damaging than pure
form.
 Sticky and solid carbohydrates are more caries
producing than liquid ones
 Bacteria + Sugars + Teeth
www.indiandentalacademy.com
 The role of microorganisms :
 Several different microorganisms are found capable
of inducing caries. They are – S.mutans, S.salivarius,
S.sanguis, S.mitior, S.milleri, A.naeslundi,
A.viscosis.
 There is possibility that one or more organisms
initiate caries while other different organisms are
responsible for progression of caries.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
 Role of acids :
 The mechanism of carbohydrate breakdown to form
acid by bacterial action is not known.
 It probably occurs through enzymatic breakdown of
sugar
 The acid formed mainly are lactic acid, also butyric acid
is formed.
 The localization of acids upon tooth surface is more
important in cariogenic process.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
 Role of dental plaque :
 The dental plaque is an important contributing factor
in initiation of the carious lesion.
 Plaque consists of salivary components such as
mucin and desquamated epithelial cells and
microorganisms.
 Three basic groups of microorganisms predominate –
streptococci, actinomyces, & veilonella.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
 The acquired pellicle of plaque may serve as a
nutrient for plaque microorganisms.
 The enamel caries forms beneath the plaque, but not
necessarily under every plaque film.
 This shows that cariogenic process is attributed to the
nature of plaque.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
 Acids are definitely responsible for caries process.
 Within carious lesion and in plaque, the pH decreases
following a rinse with suitable substrate for bacterial
fermentation.
 Stephan have showed that within 2 to 4 minutes of
rinsing with glucose or sucrose the pH fell from
about 6.5 to about 5 and gradually returned to
original pH within 40minutes.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
www.indiandentalacademy.com
 The organic portion of tooth play an important role in
caries process.
 Enamel structures made up of organic materials such
as enamel rods and particularly enamel lamellae may
be important in progress of dental caries as they serve
as pathway for microorganisms through enamel.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
 These microorganisms invading the enamel lamellae
produces acid which destroys the inorganic portion of
enamel.
 Thus it was postulated that caries is essentially a
proteolytic process.
 It is said that the yellow pigmentation of caries is due
to proteolytic microorganisms.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
 The chief theories regarding the etiology of dental
caries states that there may be two types of carious
lesion with different cariogenic processes.
 One, in which microorganisms invade enamel lamellae,
attacks enamel and invade dentin before there is clinical
evidence of caries.
 Two ,in which there is no enamel lamellae present and
there is alteration of enamel prior to invasion of
microorganisms.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
 It was proposed by Schatz ,states that “the bacterial
attack on enamel ,initiated by keratinolytic
microorganisms ,consists of a breakdown of protein
and other organic portions of enamel, chiefly keratin.
This results in formation of substances which may
form soluble chelates with mineralized component of
tooth and thereby calcify enamel at a neutral or even
alkaline ph.”
www.indiandentalacademy.com
 Other organic components of enamel such as
mucopolysaccharides, lipids and citrates are
suscepitble to bacterial attack and act as chelators.
 This theory says that both the organic and inorganic
matter are attacked simultaneously, thus resolving the
issue of site of initial attack of carious lesion.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
 The observations of increased caries incidence with
increased lactobacillus count is explained by stating
that microorganisms being the result than a cause.
 Also it state that proteolysis provides ammonia
preventing pH drop which inhibites the growth of
lactobacilli.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
 And the release of calcium from hydroxyapatite
crystals by chelation may encourage growth of
lactobacilli, but calcium also have vitamin sparing
action on some lactobacilli thus encountering their
growth.
 Increased incidence of caries with increased sugar
intake occurs through action of carbohydrates
stimulating proteolysis, and producing conditions in
which keratinous proteins are less stable and
complexing calcium.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
 Decreased caries incidence with topical fluoride
application or systemic fluoride intake is due to
formation of fluorapatite which strengthens the
linkages between organic and inorganic portions of
enamel, preventing their complexing.

  • 24.  It was proposed by Schatz ,states that “the bacterial attack on enamel ,initiated by keratinolytic microorganisms ,consists of a breakdown of protein and other organic portions of enamel, chiefly keratin. This results in formation of substances which may form soluble chelates with mineralized component of tooth and thereby calcify enamel at a neutral or even alkaline ph.” www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 25.  Other organic components of enamel such as mucopolysaccharides, lipids and citrates are suscepitble to bacterial attack and act as chelators.  This theory says that both the organic and inorganic matter are attacked simultaneously, thus resolving the issue of site of initial attack of carious lesion. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 26.  The observations of increased caries incidence with increased lactobacillus count is explained by stating that microorganisms being the result than a cause.  Also it state that proteolysis provides ammonia preventing pH drop which inhibites the growth of lactobacilli. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 27.  And the release of calcium from hydroxyapatite crystals by chelation may encourage growth of lactobacilli, but calcium also have vitamin sparing action on some lactobacilli thus encountering their growth.  Increased incidence of caries with increased sugar intake occurs through action of carbohydrates stimulating proteolysis, and producing conditions in which keratinous proteins are less stable and complexing calcium. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 28.  Decreased caries incidence with topical fluoride application or systemic fluoride intake is due to formation of fluorapatite which strengthens the linkages between organic and inorganic portions of enamel, preventing their complexing. www.indiandentalacademy.com
