    For the small lesions, topical fluoride is sometimes used to encourage remineralization. For larger lesions, the progression of dental caries can be stopped by treatment. The goal of treatment is to preserve tooth structures and prevent further destruction of the tooth.

  3. Atraumatic restorative treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atraumatic_restorative...

    Atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) [1] is a method for cleaning out tooth decay (dental caries) from teeth using only hand instruments (dental hatchet and spoon-excavator) and placing a filling. It does not use rotary dental instruments ( dental drills ) to prepare the tooth and can be performed in settings with no access to dental equipment.

    Dental use of silver nitrate can be traced back to Japan around 1000 AD, where it was used for cosmetic purposes of blackening of teeth. Silver nitrate followed by application of fluoride varnish was the only non-invasive option available for caries treatment before the advent for silver diamine fluoride (SDF). Cases of carious lesions treated ...

    No treatment; when dental caries are detected in deciduous teeth some clinicians may choose to leave the tooth to monitor progression and wait for further caries progression until doing an invasive procedure. Alternatively, the clinician may choose to leave caries as the tooth may be likely to exfoliate soon, dependent on the child's age. [33]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_restoration

    Dental restoration, dental fillings, or simply fillings are treatments used to restore the function, integrity, and morphology of missing tooth structure resulting from caries or external trauma as well as to the replacement of such structure supported by dental implants. [1]

  7. Fluoride therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoride_therapy

    Fluoride toothpaste, with concentrations of 1000 ppm and above, reduces the risk of dental caries in school-aged children and adolescents. [10] As primary teeth are being developed, the ingestion of fluoride causes the teeth to form stronger and more resistant to cavities, although this increases the risk of dental fluorosis.
