This document outlines G.V. Black's classification of dental caries, which categorizes caries into 6 classes based on their location. Class I caries are found on the occlusal surface of back teeth or in buccal/lingual pits. Class II caries are between back teeth, while Class III caries are between front teeth. Class IV caries include the edges of front teeth. Class V caries affect the gums around all teeth. Class VI caries impact tooth tips due to wear.
