Abstract :
Operative procedure considered to be a challenging for operator technically in order to provide favourable outcome. Minimally invasive procedure has been carried out frequently over the decade but none of them have shown better prognosis including esthetic treatment. Treatment of initial demineralisation of enamel surface could lead to caries progression. So, it’s very difficult to understand the buffering activity and ph of oral environment which differ from one person to another.To overcome initial demineralisation operator should have thorough knowledge of tooth anatomy, diagnosis and histopathology of caries. Previous diagnostic methods are bit cumbersome but future techniques are yet to be introduced into clinical usage recently resin infiltration was introduced as therapeutic treatment to prevent further subsurface demineralization of enamel. Present clinical procedure considered to be a non-invasive method. So early detection and proper diagnosis considered to be important than treatment protocol.
