  2. Macrodontia (tooth) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrodontia_(tooth)

    The development of dental caries due to the abnormal morphology of the overgrown tooth can be more of a short-term impact that can result in long lasting effects of overall tooth health. This is because unless the patient gets treated, these caries will continue to develop and eventually result in continued degradation of the tooth and cause ...

  3. Tooth decay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_decay

    Large areas of dental caries are often apparent to the naked eye, but smaller lesions can be difficult to identify. Visual and tactile inspection along with radiographs are employed frequently among dentists, in particular to diagnose pit and fissure caries. [ 89 ]

  4. Periapical cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periapical_cyst

    Dental cysts are usually caused due to root infection involving tooth decay. Untreated dental caries then allow bacteria to reach the level of the pulp, causing infection. The bacteria gains access to the periapical region of the tooth through deeper infection of the pulp, traveling through the roots.

  5. Periapical periodontitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periapical_periodontitis

    It is a likely outcome of untreated dental caries (tooth decay), and in such cases it can be considered a sequela in the natural history of tooth decay, irreversible pulpitis and pulpal necrosis. Other causes can include occlusal trauma due to 'high spots' after restoration work, extrusion from the tooth of root filling material, or bacterial ...

  6. Dental plaque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_plaque

    Representation of the progression of dental caries. Dental caries is an infectious disease caused primarily by Streptococcus mutans, characterized by acid demineralization of the enamel, which can progress to further breakdown of the more organic, inner dental tissue . [1]

  7. Mouth infection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouth_infection

    The most common bacteria that causes mouth infections are Streptococcus species. [8] Poor dental hygiene promotes the accumulation of these bacteria at the tooth root, eventually causing a cavity or dental caries. The decaying tooth root provides bacteria with an enclosed environment with low oxygen content.

  8. Streptococcus mutans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streptococcus_mutans

    Dental caries is a dental biofilm-related oral disease associated with increased consumption of dietary sugar and fermentable carbohydrates. When dental biofilms remain on tooth surfaces, along with frequent exposure to sugars, acidogenic bacteria (members of dental biofilms) will metabolize the sugars to organic acids.

  9. Odontogenic infection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odontogenic_infection

    The most common causes for odontogenic infection to be established are dental caries, deep fillings, failed root canal treatments, periodontal disease, and pericoronitis. [2] Odontogenic infection starts as localised infection and may remain localised to the region where it started, or spread into adjacent or distant areas.
