Question 76 (part 2) · LDEK · Etiology and pathogenesis of caries
Choose false statement regarding the process of “caries arrest”:
- A. arresting the demineralization lesion causes its surface to become smooth and regain shine.
- B. arrested lesions are called enamel scars.
- C. arresting carious lesions is possible only on certain stages of caries development, especially as remineralised lesion in enamel is more susceptible to renewed demineralization attack than natural enamel.
- D. in massive carious lesions, after enamel crack, dentin sclerotization may occur and subsequent arresting of the carious process, under the condition of preparing the carious focus and easy access of fluoride to dentin.
- E. the condition of arresting the carious process is removing all of the areas of caries location and also maintaining very good hygiene and fluoridation.
Hint
Consider whether a remineralised enamel lesion is more or less resistant to acid attack than sound enamel.
