      In simplified terms, dental caries develops because certain bacteria in the oral cavity ferment carbohydrates (sugars) into organic acids,¹ which in the case of lactic acid may result in dissolution of dental hard tissue.² However, in reality the etiology and pathogenesis of caries are much more complex and will be comprehensively discussed in the following chapters. All oral tissues, especially the dental hard tissues, microorganisms, and the saliva interact not only in the physiology of the oral cavity, СКАЧАТЬ
