Abstract:
The high incidence and untreated rate of root caries,a common and frequently occurring oral disease with challenging treatment in elderly individuals,is the main cause of tooth loss among elderly people,as rapid develop-ment results in pulpitis and periapical periodontitis or residual crown and root,which has been regarded as one of the common chronic oral diseases seriously affecting the quality of life of elderly people.Thus,early intervention and pre-vention are important.Traditional dental materials for preventing root caries have been widely used in clinical practice;however,they have the disadvantages of tooth coloring,remineralization and low sterilization efficiency.A series of new dental materials for preventing root caries have gradually become a research hotspot recently,which have the advantag-es of promoting the mineralization of deep dental tissue,prolonging the action time and enhancing adhesion.Future car-ies prevention materials should be designed according to the characteristics of root surface caries and the application population and should be developed toward simplicity,high efficiency and low toxicity.This review describes current re-search regarding anti-caries prevention material application,serving as a theoretical underpinning for the research of root caries prevention materials,which is important for both promotion in the effective prevention of root caries and im-provement in the status of oral health and the quality of life among old people.
