Abstract
Non-Restorative Cavity Treatment (NRCT) is not favoured by many paediatric dentists. However, perhaps it should be the treatment of choice rather than confronting child and parents with a restorative, symptomatic, often less child-friendly approach. Does the child have a right to a viable biological treatment option, because solving a biological problem, basically caused by neglect, with technical solutions is ethically not defensible in all cases? Restorations simply mask the caries activity. What matters is the oral health and the well-being of the child. How can this best be served? CPD/Clinical Relevance: This paper might serve as a discussion document for a group of oral health providers deciding practice policy with regard to the management of caries in primary teeth.
