A significant proportion of children in developed nations still have dentine carries. The Child Dental Health Survey (2013) reported that 28% of five-year olds and 39% of eight-year olds in England, Wales and Northern Ireland had untreated decay into dentine in primary teeth, with similar patterns noted in other industrialised countries. This is a significant cause for concern as untreated dentine caries may lead to acute pain and sepsis, which is clinically managed by substantial restoration or extraction of the affected teeth.
