Dental caries remains the most prevalent chronic disease globally, and its management should adhere to the principles of minimal intervention dentistry. This study reports a series of successful cases involving the selective removal of carious tissue in permanent molars, with follow-up periods of up to 21 years. Six permanent molars with severe and deep carious lesions were treated with selective caries removal and restored with high-viscosity glass ionomer cement. Clinical examination revealed that the teeth were free from pain and sensitivity. Follow-up assessments were conducted at 7 and 21 years posttreatment. Treatment success was defined by the absence of clinical and radiographic signs, symptoms of pulp alterations, and lesion arrest. Successful minimally invasive approaches were observed with selective removal of carious tissue and maintenance of pulp vitality for up to 21 years.
龋齿仍然是全球最普遍的慢性疾病,其治疗应遵循微创牙科的原则。本研究报告了一系列成功案例,涉及对恒牙磨牙龋坏组织的选择性去除,随访期长达21年。对6颗患有严重深龋病变的恒牙磨牙进行了选择性龋坏组织去除,并使用高粘性玻璃离子水门汀进行修复。临床检查显示这些牙齿无疼痛和敏感症状。在治疗后7年和21年进行了随访评估。治疗成功的定义为无临床和影像学体征、牙髓改变的症状以及病变停止进展。观察到通过选择性去除龋坏组织并维持牙髓活力长达21年的成功微创方法。
