Deep lesions – challenge and options in children, adults and seniors
Deep carious lesions are highly prevalent, and their management has changed considerably over the last decades. An evidence-based approach and management concept towards deep lesions will be presented and the latest study data, but also a contemporary approach towards carious tissue removal itself will be outlined.
This webinar will outline the rationale behind carious tissue removal, display the various options for managing carious lesions, provide guidelines and decision trees for carious lesion management, and expand especially on how to manage deep carious lesions.

Learning objective 2: define the main options to approach cavitated carious lesions
Learning objective 3: outline the specifics of managing deep lesions
Learning objective 4: understand the conflict between endodontic in vitro and clinical cariologic outcomes.
Learning objective 5: discuss restorative materials suitable for deep lesions
