Watch the progression of dental caries in stunning 3D detail. This animation shows how bacterial plaque accumulates on the tooth surface, breaking down sugars and producing acids. As acid attacks the enamel, microscopic demineralization begins, weakening the protective outer layer. Gradually, visible damage appears as the enamel erodes and a carious lesion forms, penetrating deeper into the tooth structure. A clear, step-by-step visual explanation of how cavities develop is essential for dental students, educators, and oral health professionals.
