Причины возникновения и развития кариеса

--- The portal "Причины возникновения и развития кариеса (Reasons for the Occurrence and Development of Caries)" provides detailed information on the causes and conditions leading to tooth caries. Scholars have been investigating the origins of this dental condition for several centuries, and the number of theories put forth over the years is remarkable. However, we will focus on the most widely accepted and reliable theories. The caries process begins with the demineralization and softening of the enamel surface, leading to the decay of dentin and the pulp if left untreated. But why do approximately 90% of the world's population fall victim to this condition, including adults and children? Today, scientists have identified a primary cause, which can be attributed to the "chemico-parasitic" theory proposed by German researcher Miller in 1890.
