TL;DR: The evidence and the recommendations support less invasive carious lesion management, delaying entry to, and slowing down, the restorative cycle by preserving tooth tissue and retaining teeth long-term.

TL;DR: Combined cultural and molecular analyses have shown that a diverse bacterial community is found in dentinal caries and that numerous novel taxa are present.

TL;DR: The following article reviews and discusses some of the techniques available to excavate demineralised dentine clinically, classified as mechanical and non-mechanical, rotary andNon-rotary and include: dental handpieces/burs, manual excavators, air-abrasion,Air-polishing, ultrasonication, sono-ab rasion, chemo-Mechanical methods, lasers and enzymes.

TL;DR: Adoption of these terms, around managing dental caries and its sequelae, will facilitate improved understanding and communication among researchers and within dental educators and the wider clinical dentistry community.

TL;DR: From the results, it was concluded that bur excavation was quickest but overprepared cavities relative to the autofluorescent signature, whereas Carisolv excavation was slowest but removed adequate quantities of tissue.
