Dental caries is an irreversible microbial disease that causes demineralization and destruction of tooth structure, often leading to cavitation. It is classified based on anatomical site as occusal, smooth surface, or root caries. Inter proximal caries specifically refers to caries between teeth, which can be detected via bite-wing x-rays for low or moderate risk patients. Proper dental care and hygiene is important to prevent recurrent caries.
