Abstract

Cavities are the most common dental and oral health problems people experience. There are four main factors that interact with each other in caries formation, namely host, substrate/diet, bacteria/microorganisms, saliva, and time. Indirectly, saliva influences the process of caries because saliva always wets the teeth, thus affecting the environment in the oral cavity.
