It most often develops near the gumline where the root becomes exposed by gum recession. Clinicians use the term to describe, diagnose, and track decay on cementum and dentin (the root\u2019s outer and inner tooth tissues). It is commonly discussed in preventive dentistry, geriatric dentistry, and restorative care."}
