    This document summarizes the classification of dental caries according to the WHO and Dr. G.V. Black. The WHO classification is based on the depth of the carious lesion, ranging from enamel lesions (D1) to lesions extending into the pulp (D4). Dr. G.V. Black's classification specifies the location of the caries, such as pits and fissures (Class I), proximal surfaces (Class II), and the gingival third of facial or lingual surfaces (Class V). The document also lists the four main factors in the aetiology of dental caries: the host, substrate, microflora, and time.

    Dental caries

    WHO definition: A localized, post-eruptive, pathological process of external


    origin involving softening of the hard t/s & proceeding to the formation of a cavity

    process (l,p,p)origin: external------hard t/s softening ------ cavity formn

    Classification

    a) WHO classification: based on depth of carious lesion


    - D1 : enamel lesions with intact surface
    - D2 : cavities in enamel
    - D3 : cavities in dentin
    - D4 : lesions extending into pulp

    1 white enamel lesions with intact surface

    2, 3 cavities in enamel , dentin respectively

    4 lesions extending into pulp

    WHO CLASSIFICATION OF DENTAL CARIES BASED ON DEPTH

    b) Dr. G.V. Black Classification of dental caries

    Cla Features
    ss
    I Pits & fissures of occlusal surfaces of posteriors
    Facial or lingual pits of molars (oclusal 2/3rd)
    Lingual pits of maxillary incisors
    II Proximal surfaces of posteriors
    III Proximal surfaces of anteriors w/o involving incisal angle
    IV Proximal surfaces of anteriors with involving incisal angle
    V Ginigival 1/3 (cervical third) of facial or lingual surfaces of a tooth
    VI Incisal edges of anteriors
    Cuspal tips of posteriors
    Aetiology of dental caries
    - multifactorial d/s
    - principal 4 factors involved are:
    a) host
    b) substrate
    c) microflora
    d) time
