Dental caries

Demineralization and decalcification of the inorganic portion and proteolysis of the organic portion

Primary caries

Initial caries on a surface which has not been previously affected

Secondary or Recurrent Caries

- Caries adjacent to or beneath the margin of an existing restoration; that is a tooth surface which was previously carious or restored



Incipient caries

- Beginning stage of decay


- Only affects enamel


- can repair itself through remineralization



Arrested Caries

- Carious lesion that does not appear to be progressing any further, lost enamel cannot reform


- Restoration may be required
