Abstract:
In the last 100 years, the scientific progress regarding the ethology of dental caries
determined a better understanding of the disease prevention and control. In this regard, caries control

invasive approach and some techniques for managing specific risk factors in children. The purpose of
activities in the case management is the management and control of risk factors not responding to basic
measures of general prevention of the caries. Through these measures, early carious lesions can be
