There has been a tremendous change in the understanding of carious lesion in all aspects from pathogenesis to prevention. The profession has also seen a revolutionary change in the material science and technology. In spite of these changes, the caries classification provided by Dr. G. V. Black remains unchanged, deterring the radical changes needed in the understanding of caries as a disease process. This article propose a new classification of dental caries to suit the present day changes in the related area. The article opens by highlighting the changes and limitations in the existing classification. The logical and advantageous outcome of the new classification is projected at the end emphasizing the need to change in conservative dentistry and education.
从发病机制到预防，人们对龋病损害的各方面理解都发生了巨大变化。该行业在材料科学和技术方面也经历了革命性变革。尽管有这些变化，但G. V. 布莱克博士提出的龋病分类仍未改变，这阻碍了对龋病作为一种疾病过程理解所需的根本性变革。本文提出一种新的龋病分类，以适应相关领域当今的变化。文章开篇强调了现有分类的变化和局限性。最后阐述了新分类的合理且有利的结果，强调了保守牙科和教育变革的必要性。
