BOSTON, May 25 -- Worldwide, 5 billion people undergo from tooth decay, and dental cavities concern 60 percent to 90 percent of U.S. school children and most adults.
In the United States, dental caries stay the most common childhood disease -- five times more ordinary than asthma, according to The World Oral Health Report.
Researchers at The Forsyth organization have made significant advances in research to develop a vaccine against cavities, according to Martin Taubman and Daniel J. Smith.
The dentists have exposed key molecules that can stimulate a human immune reaction and have successfully conducted immunization trials in animal models.
The global epidemic of dental caries highlights the rising very important to develop a vaccine to prevent cavities, says Taubman.
Dental caries is an infectious illness that occurs when microorganisms accumulate on the teeth, particularly in the presence of sucrose, or sugar, says Taubman.
A full report of the technical and public-health imperative for a vaccine against dental caries will be available in the July issue of Nature Reviews Immunology.
