Abstract

In the fight against caries, the goal of clinicians must not be focused only on performing conservative or prosthetic restorations but must include the execution of specific protocols for controlling the causal factors of the disease. Caries is a pathology with a multifactorial etiology, in which bacteria, diet, quality of saliva, oral pH, and the patient’s lifestyle, hygiene and health play a fundamental role. The CAMBRA method allows us to customize caries care, based on individual risk analysis, and to develop a suitable prevention plan for each patient.
