The prevalence of root caries is increasing. An optimal prevention is important because of the difficulties encountered in restoring these lesions. The pathogenesis of root and enamel caries have strong similarities. Consequently, for both the same preventive means should be applied. It is important to adjust the intensity of the preventive measures to the risk level of the individual patient. For high risk patients the use of chlorhexidine is advised.
根龋的患病率正在上升。由于修复这些损害存在困难，因此最佳预防措施很重要。根龋和釉质龋的发病机制有很强的相似性。因此，对于两者应采用相同的预防手段。根据个体患者的风险水平调整预防措施的强度很重要。对于高风险患者，建议使用洗必泰。
