A 2023 randomized controlled trial in the Journal of Dentistry found that the bulk-fill base technique reduced procedure time ...

The activity of a deep carious lesion in dentine can be preferentially modified, by sealing in the dentine caries. This allows reparative pulp-dentine complex reactions to take place ...

The best strategies for carious tissue removal have changed, but are you up-to-date on the latest clinical recommendations? Dentists should focus on improved treatment outcomes tailored to the tooth ...

Large, multisite dental practices may be the way of the future, but practitioners at these sites may not be leading the way in following recommendations for sealing noncavitated occlusal carious ...

Colgate discusses some of the causative and protective factors contributing to the prevalence of childhood caries.

June 26, 2012 — Stepwise excavation of deep carious lesions results in better outcomes than complete excavation, researchers reported at the International Association of Dental Research (IADR ...

Some dentists say high-tech tools enable them to perform minimally invasive dentistry, which preserves more of the tooth, often by treating " incipient carious lesions," also called microcavities.

An incipient carious lesion is the initial stage of structural damage to the enamel, usually caused by a bacterial infection that produces tooth-dissolving acid.

The authors present a new, non-invasive technique which can easily and reliably produce a visual indicator of dental lesion status.

If you brush your teeth too vigorously you can weaken dental tissue, which over time allows acidic foods and drinks to create deep holes known as non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs).
