Challenges in diagnosing and managing non-cavitated occlusal caries lesions. A Literature overview and a report of a case
Aim. Aim of this literature overview was to analyze the diagnostic procedures of hidden caries lesions and to present a restorative protocol. Methods. A literature overview was performed in order to evaluate hidden caries etiological hypothesis and the reported prevalence. The diagnostic procedure is performed with the aid of an intra-oral fluorescence based camera and the restorative procedure is completed with the use of a novel bisphenol-A free composite. Results.
