hambakaaries
  • hamba kõvakudede, emaili, hambaluu ja juuretsemendi kroonilise kuluga haigus, mille tagajärjel tekib hambasse defekt (auk); protsess on pöördumatu
Good to know
  • Haigust põhjustavad peamiselt streptokokkbakterid, kes kinnituvad hambavaabale ning kelle elutegevuse käigus tekivad toidus sisalduvast suhkrust happed, mis söövitavad hambasse augu. Fluoriidipreparaadi paikne kasutamine aitab hambakaariest ära hoida.
