CLINICAL STUDY OF ARRESTING DENTAL CARIES

BERT G. ANDERSON D.D.S.1

1 Yale University School of Medicine, Department of Surgery, New Haven, Connecticut

Some of the various physical manifestations of dental caries have been described and discussed here from the clinical standpoint. It has been suggested that these lesions which progress at slow, rapid or intermediate rates or present arrested conditions show reactions comparable to acute, chronic, and healed stages of other disease lesions. The result of an experimental treatment of dental caries has been presented and the similarity between the experimentally arrested and the spontaneously arrested lesion has been pointed out.

The experimental arrest of dental caries followed the removal of the decay and those portions of the teeth that favored accumulation and retention of food and debris. Clinical evidence indicates that the masticatory function is important as an aid to the arrest or healing of dental caries.
