  • USA
  • Product: Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus
Before
  • Figure 1: Interproximal initial carious lesion on #4 (mesial) and #29 (distal)​
After
  • Figure 2: At the 4 month follow up, complete reduction in lesion sizes on #4 and #29 to E0.​

Patient Presentation and examination: 

  • Personal information: 39-year-old male
  • Routine radiographic examination: Small radiolucencies were observed in the enamel of #4 (mesial) and #29 (distal). This was confirmed using an artificial intelligence software (Videa Health AI) (Figure 1) 

Diagnosis: 

  • #4 : Initial caries extending to the inner half of enamel (E2) on the mesial surface
  • #29 : Initial caries extending to the outer half of enamel (E1) on the distal surface

Treatment: 

  • The lesions were treated with one application of Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus and followed up with an application of fluoride varnish (5% sodium fluoride).
  • Oral hygiene instructions were reinforced. 

Follow-up: At the 4-month follow-up post-treatment, the following observations were made, confirmed also by the AI software: (Figure 2)

  • Reduction of the sizes of the treated lesions to E0, indicative of complete remineralization. 

Take-away: Non-invasive treatment of non-cavitated initial caries lesions can help prevent their progression into advanced lesions that need invasive, restorative treatment. Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus, applied in an easy, quick, painless, and drill-free protocol, along with improved oral hygiene and diet, helps remineralize these lesions.
