Behavioral modification is understood as a complex basic process of change. At the place of engraved (indifference or faulty) behavior comes conscious health behavior. Healthy way of life is a dynamic characteristic. Protection against diseases implies knowledge and will; self-interest initiative, own participation, discipline. Health consciousness must be linked with directly responsible action.

Localisation, extension, age dependence and permeability of the translucent zones in different progression stages of the dentine caries were examined by light microscopy, histochemical methods and dye penetration on ground sections, thin-ground sections and decalcified material of extracted human teeth. This phenomenon is observed in every age and more interpreted as a passive chemical precipitation than a protective activity of the pulp-dentine-system. As it is developed incompletely, it represents at most a relative, but not a proof protection from penetrating noxious actions.
