This figure shows additional elements in the pathway to demineralization and caries, while continuing to highlight the role of sugar, diet, and the oral microbiome.
SDF acts in 2 key places in this pathway highlighted in yellow text, with silver working to reverse dysbiosis of the dental biofilm and fluoride working to remineralize tooth enamel.
Patient and caregiver behavior is highlighted in blue text, emphasizing that diet, nutrition, and oral hygiene impact the pathway.
This pathway is dynamic as the biofilm, pH, and mineralization/demineralization shift back and forth with clinical treatment and behavior changes.
