Back To Your Roots With GC - Minimum Intervention Treatment Solutions For Root Caries
By 2050, 22% or
more of the European
population will be 70 years or older
Studies reveal that 4
out of 10 adults may
have root caries
Seniors of 65 years or
older retain on average
of 20.7 of their teeth
Due to the ageing society, the prevalence of root caries might even increase in the future. Help protect roots by identifying the presence and risk factors of root caries in the early stage, by preventing it to develop or by restoring it in an adequate and minimally invasive way so that recurrence is reduced to a minimum.
Challenges
Because of the nature of root caries and the age of the affected patients, the treatment approach has its challenges:
Difficult to isolate
Difficult to reach areas
Reduced ability of patient to cooperate
Difficult surface to bond
