The Problem
Dental caries is a bacterial
infection that is expressed by
symptoms (cavities), for which
there is no system for the
screening, risk assessment,
diagnosis and treatment of.
Goal
To create a plug and play
system to accurately screen,
assess, diagnose and treat the
bacterial infections that causes
dental caries.
Etiology of Caries 2004
• Caries: an infectious microbiological
disease of the teeth that results in
localized dissolution and destruction of
calcified tissues. It is a bacterial infection
of Mutans streptococci and Lactobacilli.
Mutans streptococci
A pandemic infection in
humans most strongly
associated with the onset of
enamel caries.
CM Sturdevant 1995
Classifies caries into pit and fissure,
smooth surface and root surface
lesions with different rates of
progression and morphology. Pit and
fissure caries have a small site of origin
but a wide base at the DEJ. Initial
cavitation of the fissure walls cannot be
seen on the occlusal surface making
these lesions more difficult to detect.
John Featherstone 2003
The Caries Balance
“It is very useful and constructive clinically to
consider caries in its progression or reversal as
an ongoing and often changing balance between
pathologic factors and protective factors.”
Dr. Steven M Adair
“Dentistry must begin reorienting
its approach to caries from a
primarily surgical approach to a
medical-management approach.
Dental caries is a steady-state
disease with a variable expression
over time. A surgical approach to a
steady-state disease is inefficient,
creating a constant state of playing
“catch-up”.”
Caries Risk Assessment 2004
Risk is defined as the probability that
some harmful event will occur. Caries
risk assessment is the calculation of
of whether new carious lesions will
occur or incipient lesion will develop.
GV Black, 1924
“The idea that dental practice
is purely mechanical and not
dependent upon knowledge of
the pathology of dental caries,
should be abandoned forever.
It is an anomaly of science that
should not continue. It has the
tendency plainly apparent to
make dentists mechanics only.”
JDB Featherstone, 2003
“With so much disease, it is easy
to get caught up in an endless
treatment cycle to “fix” the
problem using traditional
surgical restorative approaches.”
Paradigm Shift
Dental caries as an infectious disease
model involves focusing on treatment
of the entire disease process not just
surgically treating cavities.
“The primary goal of operative
dentistry is to maintain primary
oral health, defined as the absence
of disease of the teeth,
periodontium and mucosa.”
Lutz F, Krejci I. Resin composites
in the post-amalgam age.
Compendium December 1999.
20(12):1138-1148.
Dental Caries is an Infection!
“Dental caries can be
considered an infection,
caused by the colonization
by Mutans Streptococci.”
Martens L, Surmont P,
D’Hauwers R. A decision tree
for the treatment of caries in
posterior teeth. Quintessence
Intl March 1990. 21(3):239-246.
“Dental caries is an infectious and
transmissible disease. Detailed
knowledge regarding the acquisition
and transmission of infectious agents
facilitates a more comprehensive
approach to prevention.”
Berkowitz RJ. Acquisition and
transmission of mutans
streptococci. JCDA February
2003. 31(2):135-138.
“The appearance of mutans
streptococci in the pits and
fissures is usually followed
by caries 6-24 months
later”.

Science of Operative Dentistry

“Caries risk assessment
should be one of the most
important goals of the child’s
initial dental examination.”

– pH < 5 is low
• Rate of flow:
– < 0.7 ml/minute is high risk
– 0.7 - 1.0 ml/min is moderate risk
– > 1.0 ml/min is low risk/normal
CRTbacteria
• MS, Lactobacilli CFU/ml saliva
– < 105 CFU/ml is low risk/normal
– 105 CFU/ml is moderate risk
– > 105 CFU/ml is high risk

• By creating a standard of care issue in the
dental schools: dental students we may be able
to short circuit the 14 year adoption rate
• Need to make standard of care in the mind of
4500 annual dental school graduates
• Still a mission/education sell to the market at
large, needs to be a simplified system that is
plug and play
