This article seeks to provide a practical, everyday clinical guide for managing dental caries based upon risk group assessment. It is based upon the best evidence at this time and can be used in planning effective caries management for any patient. In addition to a comprehensive restorative treatment plan, each patient should have a comprehensive caries management treatment plan. Some sample treatment plans are included.

Background/purpose: The occurrence of post-vital pulp therapy (VPT) symptoms is perplexing for dentists, and root canal treatment (RCT) is preferred for such conditions. Furthermore, managing post-VPT symptoms, rather than performing RCT, would preserve pulp vitality and enhance VPT outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of VPT retrials in preserving pulp vitality and substituting RCT in teeth with post-VPT symptoms.

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the enamel remineralization effect of fluoride-incorporated bioactive glass (F-BG) toothpaste on artificial subsurface caries in primary teeth.
Materials And Methods: Forty sound primary maxillary incisors were subjected to a demineralizing solution for four days to induce artificial enamel caries. The teeth were randomly divided into four experimental groups ( = 10 per group): Group I, F-BG toothpaste (530 ppm fluoride) (BiominF); Group II, 0.

Due to their superior physicochemical features, chitosan thermosensitive hydrogels are multipurpose platforms that are frequently used in the biomedical industry. Many investigations have been conducted recently to modify their pore dimensions, expansion, biodegradability, stimulus-reaction characteristics, and other characteristics in order to better tailor them to the complex craniofacial tissues. They have been the focus of various studies that have attempted to load biological cargos for therapeutic and regenerative uses in the oro-facial tissues.
