- Abstract
The article offers a guidance for caries management. Emphasis is given on the need for early diagnosis and identification of caries and the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) criteria is presented. A five-category system in caries management is proposed as radiography cannot distinguish between cavitated and non-cavitated surfaces. It discusses the importance of patient management and the benefits of fluoride varnish as compared to fluoride gel for caries prevention.
