Factors Associated with Active and Inactive Root Caries in Patients with Periodontal Disease

Abstract: The aim of this study was to analyze a number of microbial, salivary, and dietary factors in patients with clinically active and inactive root caries. 147 patients, aged 30–78 years, referred for specialist treatment of periodontal disease, were randomly selected. 645 decayed and 539 filled root surfaces were found. Out of the carious lesions, 372 (58%) were recorded as clinically active and 273 (42%) as inactive. 30 patients showed no lesions (group 1), 46 had only fillings or inactive lesions (group 2), and … Show more

“…Intraand interexaminer reproducibility of clinical root caries diagnosis is controversially discussed. Assessing the state of activity, Ravald and Birkhed [1991] reported a reproducibility of 87% for repeated examinations, the kappa value was 0.71, whereas other studies failed to demonstrate such promising results [Rosén et al, 1996]. In the latter study kappa values ranged from 0.47 to 0.51 for intra-and from 0.30 to 0.51 for interexaminer reproducibility of detecting root caries in man.…”

“…No entanto, para que haja produção de ácido suficiente para sustentar a desmineralização progressiva do dente, há necessidade de aumento da proporção de S. mutans no biofilme dentário (TENUTA et al, 2003), a qual é favorecida pela alta tolerância destas espécies a baixo pH (BURNE, 1998 ZAMBON;KASPRZAK, 1995 RAVALD;BIRKHED, 1991).…”

“…A maioria das lesões é rasa e de progressão lenta (BANTING, 2001;FEJERSKOV, 1982;ZAMBON;KASPRZACH, 1995). Com relação à cor, muitos autores afirmam que a cárie radicular, quando está ativa, apresenta colorações amarela e marrom clara, quando as lesões estão inativas, a cor das lesões se torna mais escurecida (KIDD, 1989;FEJERSKOV, 1982;RAVALD;BIRKHED, 1991 As lesões iniciais de cárie radicular aparecem como uma zona radiolúcida no cemento. O cemento, no terço cervical da raiz dos dentes, apresenta uma espessura em torno de 30 a 50 µm.…”

“…Mesmo havendo na literatura discordâncias sobre o aspecto da cárie radicular, principalmente em relação à cor, muitos autores afirmam que a cárie radicular quando está ativa apresenta uma superfície amolecida quando é sondada (KATZ et al, 1982;BAUER et al, 1988) e cor variando de amarelo a marrom claro e quando está inativa apresenta uma superfície endurecida quando sondada, porém menos dura do que o cemento intacto e cor variando do marrom escuro ao preto FEJERSKOV, 1982;BILLING;KASTER, 1985;KIDD, 1989;RAVALD;BIRKHED, 1991).…”
