Abstract: With the increasing prevalence of root caries of varying complexity, clinicians will face challenges in deciding how best to manage such lesions. Non-operative caries control should be used whenever possible. In this paper factors that can affect success when restoring root caries are discussed.
Clinical relevance: The restorative management of root caries can be challenging. Careful attention to detail when restoring root carious lesions is essential to optimize treatment outcome.
