・Caries lesion in proximal surface only
・Active caries progressing to open cavitation
・Cleaning is difficult due to location
|
|
|
|
Cavity preparation with minimal intervention |
・Removal of infected tooth structure from proximal surface to preserve marginal ridge |
|
|
|
Restoration by fluoride releasing materials |
・By using fluoride releasing materials, improved remineralisation and stronger tooth structure around the cavitated lesion can be expected. |
|
|
|
Continuing maintenance |
・Observation and maintenance by periodical recall
・Ongoing preventive therapy, both in office and at home, with regular review.

・Small fracture of anterior tooth restoration
・Unacceptable esthetics |
|
|
|
Cavity preparation with minimal intervention |
・Remove fractured portion |
|
|
|
Restoration by fluoride releasing materials |
・Place fluoride releasing low viscosity composite resin (Unifil Flow) and light cure, in small increments.

|
Continuing maintenance |
9 years after restoration.
With good control the tooth remains healthy.
