Is it Ethical to Withhold Restorative Dental Care From a Child with Occlusoproximal Caries Lesions Into Dentin of Primary Molars?

Abstract

Non-restorative caries treatment (NRCT) has been mentioned as a treatment option for occluso-proximal caries lesions into dentin of primary molars. The NRCT approach for occluso-proximal caries lesions in primary molars was considered from an ethical perspective. In summary, it is not ethical to withhold restorative dental care from a child with occluso-proximal caries lesions into dentin of primary molars.
