Abstract

Dental caries, commonly known as tooth decay, is a prevalent chronic disease affecting a significant portion of the global population. The condition arises from the interaction between dental plaque, dietary sugars, and the susceptible surfaces of teeth, leading to the demineralization and subsequent destruction of tooth structure. The multifactorial nature of dental caries involves biological, behavioral, and environmental factors. Advances in dental materials have played a crucial role in the management and prevention of dental caries. The evolution of restorative materials, such as amalgam, composite resins, glass ionomer cements, and bioactive materials, has significantly improved the outcomes of caries treatment. These materials are designed to restore the form and function of teeth while providing aesthetic benefits and promoting the remineralization of the tooth structure.

Innovative materials such as fluoride-releasing agents, antimicrobial compounds, and nanomaterials have shown promise in enhancing the longevity and effectiveness of dental restorations. Furthermore, advancements in adhesive technologies and the development of minimally invasive techniques have revolutionized the approach to caries management. The integration of digital dentistry, including computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/ CAM) and 3D printing, has further enhanced the precision and efficiency of restorative procedures.

This abstract delves into the etiology and pathogenesis of dental caries, highlighting the importance of early detection and intervention. It reviews the properties, applications, and clinical performance of various dental materials used in the prevention and restoration of carious lesions. The role of novel materials and technologies in advancing caries management is also discussed, emphasizing the need for continued research and development in this field. By understanding the complexities of dental caries and leveraging advancements in dental materials, dental professionals can improve patient outcomes and contribute to better oral health worldwide.

Dental caries, commonly known as tooth decay, is a pervasive and chronic condition that affects a significant portion of the global population. This disease is primarily driven by the interaction of dietary sugars, oral bacteria, and host factors, leading to the demineralization of tooth enamel and dentin. Over the years, extensive research has been dedicated to understanding the etiology, progression, and prevention of dental caries, resulting in the development of various diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive strategies. Concurrently, advancements in dental materials have significantly improved the management of carious lesions, offering enhanced durability, aesthetics, and biocompatibility. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the pathogenesis of dental caries, the latest advancements in diagnostic techniques, and the evolution of dental materials used in restorative dentistry. By exploring the interplay between dental caries and the materials designed to combat it, we underscore the importance of integrating innovative materials science with clinical practice to achieve optimal oral health outcomes.
