Amount of sugar is not as important as what? Frequency, form it is in, and when sugar is eaten
What is happening during incipient lesions? Demineralization is going on, surface is intact, no bacterial penetration
What is happening for an established lesion? Surface layer breaks down, clinically detectable, attack on dentin
What is the critical pH level for root caries? 6.0
What are the basic inactive components of dentifrices? Detergent, abrasives, binder, humectant, preservative, flavoring, water
What are the preventative and therapeutic benefits of dentifrices? Caries prevention, remineralization, reduction of biofilm, reduction of gingivitis/periodontitis, dentin hypersensitivity, supra gingival calculus
What are the cosmetic effects of dentifrice? Removal of extrinsic stain, reduction of malodor
What is the purpose of detergent? Lower surface tension, penetrate and loosen surface deposits, foaming action
