Abstract

The narrow approach to only address chief complaint, for high-caries-risk patient with multiple carious lesions, can be costly on patient, clinicians and healthcare services on the long term. Encouraging comprehensive approach of both primary and secondary prevention with caries stabilization in first visits for such patients should always be the best clinical practice standards. Particularly in this time of huge demand on dental services and long waiting lists. This case report aims to demonstrate how both primary and secondary prevention with stabilization of dental caries in the 1st visit proved crucial to preserve the state of oral health and avoid preventable consequences of untreated cavitated dental caries.
