The management of dental caries has undergone significant evolution in recent years. Contemporary practical strategies now emphasize early detection and prevention, along with diagnostic assessments based on risk indicators and factors. The latest management approaches prioritize the preservation of healthy tooth structure, aligning with the principles of minimally invasive dentistry. These approaches aim to fulfill multiple objectives, including fostering a preventive mindset, tailoring risk assessments to individual patients, promptly identifying carious lesions, and promoting remineralization of non-cavitated lesions.
