Dental caries are primarily caused by the interaction of [BLANK-1] in plaque with [BLANK-2].

Match the caries detection method with its purpose.

Match the stage of caries progression with its description.

Which of the following is NOT a method for caries detection?

Enamel demineralization occurs when acids produced by bacteria dissolve [BLANK-1] from the tooth structure.

Early detection of cavities relies heavily on [BLANK-1] that visualize decay.

Regular use of [BLANK-1] is essential for strengthening enamel and preventing caries.

What type of bacteria is primarily associated with the development of dental caries?

*Streptococcus mutans* is [BLANK-1] implicated in the development of dental caries.

Select True or False for each statement below: Transcription factors help recruit ribosomes to mRNAs. [False] Transcription factors bind to regulatory elements in DNA. [True] Transcription factors regulate the transcription of many (sometimes 100’s of) RNA transcripts. [True2] The activity of transcription factors can decrease gene expression. [True3]
