Abstract

In many countries around the world, the prevalence and severity of dental caries have decreased during the last three decades. This outcome should not come as a surprise as dental caries is a preventable disease. During these decades, many studies have been carried out to investigate which factors keep healthy teeth healthy and which cause tooth surfaces to demineralise. This great focus on oral health makes it difficult to accept that untreated carious cavities in permanent teeth are the number one prevalent condition out of 291 medical diseases and conditions investigated over the period 1990–2010 (Marcenes et al. 2013). The same condition, but in primary teeth, was the tenth most prevalent condition over the same period. The global economic impact of all dental diseases amounted to US$442 billion in 2010 (Listl et al. 2015). This is an astronomically high figure considering that the two major dental diseases, dental caries and periodontal diseases, are largely preventable.
