Dentistry TodayUse of Minimally Invasive Techniques and Antimicrobial Agents to Treat Rampant Caries

It can be difficult for a clinician to treat individuals with high levels of caries activity conservatively and minimally invasively. It is vital to employ cutting-edge equipment to monitor the disease’s causes, alter the patient’s eating and oral hygiene routines, and suggest using toothpaste that is high in calcium and phosphate and antibacterial oral disinfection products.

The dentist should keep as much of the tooth as possible. If at all possible, the preparation margins should be located in the enamel to promote stable adhesion rather than deteriorating dentin adhesion. The restorations’ finish lines should be supragingival to enable the patient to maintain them quickly and effectively.

Finally, it is possible to safeguard the hybrid layer against the invasion of germs to the hybrid layer’s micro gaps and avoid secondary caries by using antibacterial bonding materials containing QASi. The first line of defense against bacterial growth on composite surfaces is antibacterial repair materials with QASi infusion.
