Various Classifications of Dental Caries 

Thanks a lot 😊

Thank you for your feedback, it means a lot. And yes we are working on more lecture videos, apologies for the delay.

Yes it could be arrested caries, but it's always better to get it checked by your dentist to avoid any doubts.

@@TheDentalistt okay thank you , will get it examined asap

We are covering Dental Materials Sciences from McCabe. And Yes, all the important stuff that the students need to know is being covered. Currently, we are on Chapter 2 of Dental Materials Sciences from McCabe, which is about The Properties used to Characterize the Dental Materials.

I just found your channel and you have made the subject so appealing and interesting. Keep up the good work

Thank you so much for your feedback. This encourages us to keep posting more for you 😊

Yes to keep it easier for you to understand and not make things complicated, It is almost same.

@@TheDentalistt ok thank you, I was wondering because my instructor used the term acute. But I understand now. Thank you

Thank youu 😊😊 and yes more videos coming soon 😊

Hahah you're welcome 😊 All the best 👍

Arrested caries can/should be grinded depending on the clinical scenario, because there's always a slight chance of it becoming active again.

@@TheDentalistt I have been using GC Flouride Varnish every 6 months as recommended by my dentist and follow a very disciplined dental hygiene and the arrested carries are in the way they are for some years now. Thanks for the information doc 👍

@@V0LKSJAGER Oh I see, it's great to hear that. You're welcome 😊

Progression or pathway of caries can be understood by the help of a triangle▼a triangle has a pointed side, which we can call as "Cone" and then the opposite of cone has a "Base" Now when caries occurs on concave surfaces like Pits and fissures, the progression of caries is in this direction ▼and that is why its called Forward caries. This means that the top of enamel surface will have a broader base and as it progresses further into the tooth, it will have a cone shape progression. When caries occurs on smooth surfaces or convex surfaces like Interproximal areas, the progression pathway of caries is in this direction ◄ or ► depending whether its effecting right or left proximal side. The cone is on the outer side and as the caries progresses into the tooth it has base shape progression. This happens when caries progresses in the DEJ area. Caries does not originate from the DEJ area, rather it goes from outside the enamel to inside but it has this shape of progression that makes it look like its progressing from inside to outside, because the normal pattern of progression of caries is broader base outside, and narrow tip or cone inside. But in this case, its opposite, Narrow tip or cone outside, and as it progresses towards DEJ it has broader base inside. Now also note that it is not necessary to strictly have ▼ this appearance of caries progression at the pits and fissure region and it is not important to strictly have ◄ this appearance at convex surfaces/interproximal areas. The point to understand here is that caries progresses in greater speed and in more lateral direction, when it reaches the dentin, than when it is in enamel. And that is the reason that it gives this appearance that caries is extending into the enamel from DEJ, and is then called Backward caries. A lot of people believe in this hypothesis that the dentinal tubules can get infected from pulpal origin and can cause caries originate from the DEJ, but this is just hypothesis and the authenticity is to be proven yet. I hope it has cleared your confusion. And how caries originates in this area, is through plaque accumulation or presence of food debris in the interproximal areas, etc. I believe you know these reasons. I hope I answered your question, if you still have any confusion, please let me know. Thanks

The Dentalist thank you 🙏 .

Thank you for these videos which have generated keen interest on dental subject. 🙂🙂 and clearing the concept

Thank you so much to you all for watching with all your heart ❤️ that's the real encouragement for us. All the best for a bright future 😊

Btw is all of this clear to you now? Or do you still have any confusion?

We are not going out of McCabe. You'll find all the content in McCabe; Everything that you watch in our Dental Materials videos. Thank you for your feedback 😊

But this video is not from McCabe, we have covered this as general topic. All the Dental Materials Sciences videos are and will be from McCabe.

Sir I watched only one video that was about dental stress and I learned a lot. That's why I requesting you to teach us maccabe from 1st chapter

@@ashrafkamal6987 we are currently on Chapter 2 from McCabe. Keep following the channel so you can stay updated 😊

Yes occult caries can reach the pulp.

@@TheDentalistt Thanks Dr for the quick response. I will check up my dentist as soon as possible. Thanks again I appreciate the fact that you explain well with easy words for us to understand.

You're welcome Adam, appreciate your feedback 😊

@@TheDentalisttNot at all. When I first saw the video I thought I would not understand you 😁 because I thought you are Indian. Your articulation is perfect. 👍. I am a new subscriber.

@@TheDentalistt I am not being disrespectful in any way, shape or form. But it is due to the thick accent I have a difficult time understanding that's all. ☺️

Haha thanks for the correction 😄
