Abstract

The available scientific literature has established the fact that restorations do not last forever. The disease process i.e caries has to be managed as a disease if patients need to heal from it. A caries management plan must be in place for each individual patient for this purpose. The management plan needs to be risk-based and prevention-focused and has to concurrently run during and after the restorative phases of treatment. Only then over treatment in restorative dentistry can be avoided. This paper gives an overview to clinicians in India on modern caries management and how it can be implemented in general dental practice.
