Once a lesion has cavitated, especially if dentin is involved, remineralization is much more difficult and a dental restoration is usually indicated ("operative treatment"). Before a restoration can be placed, all of the decay must be removed otherwise it will continue to progress underneath the filling.
The OCS protocol utilises a blood-based perfusate, ventilator, and pumps. Similar to the Lund protocol, the OCS protocol employs a blood-based perfusate but with a higher haematocrit level ranging from 15-25%. [10] Bellows pump is used for ventilation, and pulsatile pump is used for perfusion.
The McKenzie method is a technique primarily used in physical therapy.It was developed in the late 1950s by New Zealand physiotherapist Robin McKenzie. [1] [2] [3] In 1981 he launched the concept which he called "Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT)" – a system encompassing assessment, diagnosis and treatment for the spine and extremities.
Non-carious cervical lesions on an incisor belonging to Australopithecus africanus. Arrows show the location of the lesions. Non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) are a group of lesions that are characterised by a loss of hard dental tissue at the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) region at the neck of the tooth, without the action of microorganisms or inflammatory processes.

Tooth remineralization is the natural repair process for non-cavitated tooth lesions, [1] [2] in which calcium, phosphate and sometimes fluoride ions are deposited into crystal voids in demineralised enamel. Remineralization can contribute towards restoring strength and function within tooth structure. [3]
Manual therapy, or manipulative therapy, is a treatment primarily used by physical therapists and occupational therapists to treat musculoskeletal pain and disability. It mostly includes kneading and manipulation of muscles, joint mobilization and joint manipulation .
This article is about physical therapy in carpal tunnel syndrome. Physical therapists and occupational therapists are involved in the assessment and intervention process with clients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Physical and occupational therapy professionals provide education, symptom management (such as splinting, physical agent ...
Accessory canals may not be big enough to allow bacterial penetration, periodontal disease must reach the apex to induce an endodontic lesion. Neither the prognosis, treatment nor expected treatment outcome depend on the source of the infection. [2] A combined lesion may also be the result of a fractured tooth.
