Abstract

Caries is one of the most common diseases of the oral cavity. When caries appears, the tooth enamel is first damaged, and if left untreated, it damages the dentin (hard tissue of the tooth). Caries means "rotting" when taken from Latin, popularly known as caries "tooth decay", "tooth decay", the use of the latter term is somewhat misleading in terms of medical defect.
