Caries<\/h3>

How caries occurs?<\/p>

Caries is a disease. It is the most widespread disease in the world. The bacterial dental plaque (also called a biofilm) is the main cause of the infection of the teeth and the supportive tissues, i.e. of the caries and periodontal diseases respectively. The accumulation of dental plaque and the colonization of bacteria lead to the appearance of dental and periodontal pathology.<\/p>

Microbes cling on various surfaces and form the biofilm. In addition, frequent intake of carbohydrates (especially sweets) gets metabolized to acids. The pH of dental plaque becomes acidic repeatedly, and that favors acid tolerant bacteria, such as streptococci and lactobacilli that are the most dangerous bacteria for caries.<\/p>

Research shows that caries as a disease is identified at certain groups of people that are more prone to it. 80% of the carious cavities are located on 20% of the world\u2019s population.<\/p>
