Abstract

Evaluation Of Commonly Treated Maxillary Teeth With Preventive Resin Restoration Among Children With Permanent Dentition

Highlights

Preventive resin restorations are a more conservative treatment mode involving the removal of the demineralised carious portion of the tooth, restoring it with composite and establishing an optimum seal of the restored surface without any sound tooth structure removed unnecessarily
Males are treated more for preventive resin restorations (PRR) compared to females, while there is a greater need for treating carious teeth during the adolescent years
The study has to be filtered from the bias of a predominant right or left handed population to assess whether the side of the dentition requiring treatment with PRRs more often, is relevant

Summary

Introduction

Preventive resin restorations are a more conservative treatment mode involving the removal of the demineralised carious portion of the tooth, restoring it with composite and establishing an optimum seal of the restored surface without any sound tooth structure removed unnecessarily. As against the usual approach of preparing a cavity at the carious site and restoring it with a durable filling material like amalgam or composite, preventive resin restorations (PRR) are a more conservative treatment mode [1] It involves the removal of the demineralised carious portion of the tooth (in which case the lesion is confined to a minimal portion of the occlusal surfaces of the teeth), restoring it with composite and establishing an optimum seal of the restored surface [2]. As recollected in previous studies [5], a common indication where PRR’s can be used is where the carious lesion in a pit or a fissure is small and definite It is only after a thorough examination that a diagnostic decision may be made regarding the administration of a PRR for the concerned patient.
