The treatment planning is based on the information gathered through patients' anamnesis, clinical and radiographic examinations together with patients' risk assessment. For most caries inactive patients, the implementation of core measures of the nonoperative treatment is sufficient to control the caries disease, while for caries active patients both professionally and self-applied additional measures are required. Clinical cases illustrating successes and limitations of the nonoperative treatment for the whole dentition are presented. Patients/parents should take responsibility for their own or their child's oral health and the dental professional team should help them to achieve this goal. It is relevant that patients/parents understand that the nonoperative treatment of caries disease is evidence-based. Nevertheless, as any other treatment, successes and failures are likely to occur, and these are to a great extent dependent on patients'/parents' compliance.

This chapter brings together the body of evidence behind carious dentin removal to indicate a conservative treatment, aiming to preserve both tooth vitality and structure. Studies that evaluated the effects of sealing contaminated dentin are described, which are focused on different outcomes, such as microbiological counts, clinical characteristics, laboratory analysis, and radiographic findings. Long-term studies and randomized clinical trials also support the current recommendations. After addressing the available literature on this topic, this chapter concludes that (1) the amount of carious dentin to be removed should be defined by lesion depth; (2) sealing and/or selective caries removal to firm dentin is recommended for the management of shallow and moderate lesions; (3) the selective caries removal to soft dentin in a single session is indicated for deep caries lesions aiming to preserve tooth vitality; and (4) the use of a cavity liner after selective caries removal seems to be an unnecessary clinical step.</p>","PeriodicalId":35771,"journal":{"name":"Monographs in Oral Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9690242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dental professionals have been trained to diagnose caries disease by assessing clinical symptoms and signs of caries lesions complemented by radiographic examination as an adjunct method. Clinical examination is the foundation of the diagnosis and should be performed after removal of dental biofilm of tooth surfaces, air-drying, and under good illumination. Clinical diagnostic methods categorize caries lesions according to their severity and in some methods according to their activity. Caries lesion activity has been determined by surface reflection and texture. The detection of thick or heavy biofilm on tooth surfaces is an additional diagnostic clinical tool to estimate caries lesion activity. Patients with no caries experience, that is, without clinical and/or radiographic signs of caries lesions in the dentition, are considered caries inactive. Other caries-inactive patients may present inactive caries lesions/restorations in their dentition. In contrast, patients are considered caries active when presenting any active caries lesion at clinical level and/or any progressing lesion as demonstrated by at least two bitewing radiographs taken at different points in time. The main concern about caries-active patients is that caries lesions are likely to progress unless effective measures are implemented to interfere with its progression.

The coexistence of different microorganisms and the microbial balance at each specific site are warranted by synergistic and antagonist interactions among members of the microbial communities. This microbiological balance suppresses the growth of potentially pathogenic microorganisms, generally keeping them at low abundance in the colonized sites. Microbial communities coexist in harmony with the host being compatible with a health condition. On the other hand, stressors exert selective pressure on the microbiota, promoting disruption in microbial homeostasis leading to dysbiosis. In this process, potentially pathogenic microorganisms become more abundant, resulting in microbial communities with altered properties and functions. Once the dysbiotic state has been reached, increased disease risk is expected. Biofilm is essential for caries development. The knowledge of the composition and metabolic interactions in the microbial community is fundamental for developing effective preventive and therapeutic measures. Studying both health and cariogenic conditions will bring an essential understanding of the disease process.

This chapter will focus on developmental defects of dental enamel (DDE) and dentine (DDD), which can be associated with considerable treatment burden on an individual, often related to the change in dental hard tissue characteristics in those at increased caries risk. DDE are prevalent and can be related to genetic conditions such as amelogenesis imperfecta and environmental challenges such as direct physical trauma to the developing tooth or systemic insults during the different phases of amelogenesis. Phenotypical variability can be great, making diagnosis difficult in many cases. There are two major enamel defects - the quantitative defect of hypoplasia and the qualitative defect of hypomineralization. DDDs are less prevalent than DDEs, with two major DDD types: dentinogenesis imperfecta and dentine dysplasia. The main features of the DDDs are enamel fracture exposing the dentine and subsequent wear, with enlarged pulp spaces in some variants. The appearance may be affected, with bulbous teeth and grey-blue to brown opalescent colouring. With respect to dental caries, developmental defects of the teeth, in themselves, do not cause caries risk; however, they can change the manifestation of the disease due to creating niches for biofilm accumulation and thereby increasing cleaning difficulty and changing the physical and chemical characteristics of dental hard tissues and how they react to cariogenic challenges.</p>","PeriodicalId":35771,"journal":{"name":"Monographs in Oral Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9695888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

How these measures were developed follows a standardized process of development and testing, with the ultimate aim of the entire process being that they be used in clinical dentistry, dental epidemiology, and health services research. There has been ongoing debate about whether these measures have adequate discriminative ability for the wide range of caries experience, and whether they are responsive to changes in disease experience. Whether these measures are \"perfect\" or not, what we do know after two decades is that numerous studies have found them to be sufficiently discriminative for caries in adults and children alike. There is also evidence for their responsiveness, chiefly from studies of children undergoing dental treatment under general anesthetic for early childhood caries. The influence of environmental, social, and psychological characteristics is another consideration in how people self-rate their oral health.

The aim of this review is to summarize the changes in supra- and subgingival biofilm and periodontal tissues during and after orthodontic treatment. Studies have reported elevated levels of Streptococcus mutans and periodontopathogenic bacteria in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. In general, the microbial changes and periodontal parameters decreased to pretreatment levels after appliance removal. Nevertheless, some adverse effects associated with orthodontic treatment are not reversible, such as enamel decalcifications caused by metabolic products of high levels of cariogenic bacteria. The evidence suggests that the roughness and constituents of the orthodontic materials influence the bacterial colonization. Therefore, several antibacterial orthodontic bonding systems, which show antibacterial effects in vitro, have been developed. The importance of adequate oral hygiene should be emphasized to all orthodontic patients. They should be frequently reminded and motivated to obtain a good oral hygiene.
