If a demineralization area (white spot lesion) on the enamel of a tooth is not treated, it will develop into a cavity.
a. true
b. false

The correct answer will be-true.

Explanation:

Tooth cavity is the breakdown of the teeth due to the prolonged accumulation of the bacteria in the plaque.

The metabolically active bacteria in plaque causes demineralization in the sub-surface of the enamel in the smooth surface of the teeth. This is known as white spot lesion.

If this white spot lesion is not corrected or treated may lead to cavitated caries lesion or cavity in the teeth. This cavity can cause pain in the teeth and associated problems.

Thus, the option true is the correct answer.

TRUE

Explanation:

Tooth decay is the damage to the surface of the tooth due to the production of acids by the bacteria present in the mouth. Tooth decay may lead to the formation of a yellow to black colored cavity.

The formation of a chalky white spot lesion is the earliest sign of the demineralization of the enamel. If this lesion is not treated, the enamel continues to demineralize and can lead to the formation of a cavity.
