Description:

Caries, because of its uniqueness as a disease, its ubiquitous nature, and its stubborn resistance to resolution remains as one of man’s most common, oldest, and singly costliest ailment. The total health handicap due to dental caries is staggering. In western countries there has been a dramatic decline in caries over the past decade but in the economically developing countries caries prevalence is increasing as dietary habits of industrialized nations are adopted. For this reason, it is important that the subject of dental caries is given as broad a readership as possible. Recognition of the enormity of the problem should spur efforts to reduce the ravages, the pain and the cost of this disease.
