Review Article Caries Prevention – Newer Horizons: A Review Katiyar A, Kohli A, Singh G, Gupta K, Gupta S, Srivastava S Abstract: Prevention is a philosophy of practice based on a perspective that focuses on maintaining health rather than on treating a disease. Modern methodology for the prevention of progressive oral diseases includes the identification of patients at high risk of developing diseases. The purpose of modern dentistry is the early prevention of tooth decay rather than invasive restorative therapy. However, despite tremendous efforts in promoting oral hygiene and fluoridation, the prevention and biomimetic treatment of early caries lesions are still challenges for dental research and public health, particularly for individuals with a high risk for developing caries, which is the most widespread oral disease. Recent studies indicate that nanotechnology might provide novel strategies in preventive dentistry, specifically in the control and management of bacterial biofilms or remineralization of submicrometre-sized tooth decay. This article details the various agents that enhances and promotes remineralisation.
