Abstract:
Traditionally, dentists have been trained in the surgical model for caries management whereby detection is akin to diagnosis. This model unfortunately has been translated to patient expectations. Nevertheless, a growing body of clinical evidence suggests that noncavitated lesions, even those extending into dentin, can be managed by nonsurgical means with an expectation for remineralization.
