Concerns and issues regarding root caries has increased in the last decade. This becomes a clinical challenge today, along with the increasing number of elderly individuals as well as awareness about the importance of maintaining natural teeth. This article discusses the literature on root caries lesions, by looking at risk factors, associated with the causes, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment methods.
Understanding Dental Caries
Dental caries is a disease that has existed since ancient human skull found in primitive around the world who live in remote areas where there is less soft foods and foods rich in karbohidrat.1, 2 During the 17th century, sugar is widely available and cheaper in Europe and the food is replaced with softer foods.
As a result, caries become endemic problems that persisted through the centuries Copyright 3 At present, prediction of root caries as the demographics show a patient an important issue in the next decade where the elderly population to maintain their original teeth.
Ettinger reviewing research on the rate and distribution of caries in the 20th century and concludes that both have different patterns around the world, which is associated with developmental level and industry level. Population in industrialized countries have a less rate of caries in children and increased the number of teeth retained in the elderly, whereas the opposite situation is found in developing countries.
These results can be correlated directly with the population, profile, sex, food, education, the existence of preventive measures and technological advances in industrial countries than in developing countries. In these countries there is later a higher caries rate in urban areas than rural communities caused by the availability of sugar in the area.
Prevalence and Incidence of Root Caries Tooth
Miller, a clinician and professor of conservative dentistry, which is the subject of the review of this paper in the past century in the three articles that discuss something he calls "throw dental tissue". Root caries considered a disease in which the elderly population wants their teeth extracted and replaced with a prosthesis lepasan.8 Currently root caries become a new problem under study in dentistry, in elderly people with their original teeth remain.
With increasing age, more gingival recession is happening, where the root surface exposed to the oral environment and cause increased rate of root caries. Ettinger, a review of several studies related to the prevalence and incidence of root caries in different regions in the U.S., found that more than half of elderly people have root caries and root caries increased with age.
The actual prevalence of root caries is difficult to assess. Interpretation of data from the study the prevalence and incidence of complicated due to differences in diagnostic criteria, treatment decisions and the lack of homogeneity in populations that are observed. However, it has been demonstrated with certainty that the prevalence of root caries increases with age and is greater in the elderly population than young adults.
Katz review with a critical, variables related to root caries and make firm recommendations on how future research should be done to create an index of root caries. In Saudi Arabia, a developing country with a population of 21 million, 50 percent of the population under the age of 19 years.
Recently been found that children in Saudi Arabia has increased the rate of caries. It is important this requires attention and concentration are more in prevention programs by public health personnel to improve levels of health concern and to prevent dental caries at an early age. This makes it more natural teeth are retained and avoids coronal caries when caries cervical occur.
Research indicating that patients who had coronal caries is more likely to experience caries akar.14 root caries in the elderly population in Saudi Arabia have not been reported. Among these studies will greatly assist in encouraging the elderly population is on an individual basis to maintain their dental health is better in their lifestyle.
