Research Abstract |
In elderly people in Japan, the number of remaining teeth increases, however, root caries have been developed because of the exposure of the surface of the roots to the oral cavity. Hence, we investigated the virulence factors of S.mutans considered to be the cause of root caries. Also we investigated the pathogenesis of the early phase of pulpitis and examined the anti-inflammatory effects of tea catechin as a sedative medicament of pulpitis.
