With the acceleration of population aging in China, the incidence of root surface caries is increasing year by year. Different from coronal caries, lesions of root surface caries mostly occur on the exposed root surfaces after gingival recession in elderly patients, mainly involving cementum and dentin. Root surface caries shows specificity in the pathogenic characteristics, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. This review mainly summarizes the etiology and prevalence, pathology and clinical manifestations, classification, as well as three-level-prevention of root caries, in order to provide relevant guidance for the clinical prevention and treatment of root caries.
随着我国人口老龄化进程的加速，根面龋的发病率逐年上升。与冠龋不同，根面龋病变大多发生在老年患者牙龈退缩后暴露的根面上，主要累及牙骨质和牙本质。根面龋在致病特点、临床表现、诊断、治疗及预防等方面均表现出特异性。本文综述主要总结根龋的病因与患病率、病理与临床表现、分类以及三级预防，旨在为根龋的临床防治提供相关指导。
