title: Take two dentists: a tale of root caries.
abstract: Take two dentists, whose practices are about as different as they could possibly be, who both have a healthy respect for root caries. Our paper will start by describing these two practices and then review the literature to show what is known about the management of root caries. The paper ends by returning to the two dentists, who describe how the research reviewed in the literature may affect their work.
