  • 3
  • Care Quest Clinical trial (c/o S.Key)
  • USA
  • Product: Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus
Before
  • Figure 1: Interproximal initial caries lesions observed on #7 and #8.
After
  • Figure 2: 19-month follow-up post treatment with CRFP revealed reduction (#7) and stability (#8) in the sizes of the lesions.

Patient examination:  

  • Routine radiographic examination: On a peri-apical radiograph, small radiolucencies on #7 (mesial) and #8 (distal) were observed. (Figure 1)

Diagnosis: 

  • #7: Initial caries extending to the outer third of dentin (D1) on mesial surface
  • #8: Initial caries extending to the inner half of enamel (E2) on distal surface

Treatment: 

  • The lesions were treated with one application of Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus.
  • Oral hygiene instructions reinforced.

Follow up: The 19-month post-treatment follow-up radiograph revealed: (Figure 2)

  • #7: Reduction in lesion size to E2, indicative of remineralization 
  • #8: Stability in lesion size, indicating that Curodont aided in preventing the progression of the lesion 

Take-away: Treatment of initial carious lesions in the anterior teeth can be considered when trying to avoid the need of restorations in the esthetic zone. Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus enables non-invasive treatment of these lesions through an easy, quick, and painless procedure.
