Abstract

The management of dental caries has traditionally relied on restorative treatments, such as fillings and crowns, to repair decayed teeth. However, with a shift towards minimally invasive techniques, non-restorative cavity treatment (NRCT) has emerged as an innovative approach. NRCT aims to manage caries progression without resorting to traditional restorative procedures, focusing on remineralization, biological management, and preventive care. This article explores the concept of non-restorative cavity treatment, its benefits, challenges, and the future of caries management in modern dentistry.
