Micro-invasive treatment (proximal sealing or resin infiltration): resin sealant, glass ionomer sealant, polyurethane/adhesive patch, or resin infiltration vs Non-invasive / control treatment
Radiographic proximal caries lesion progression · Patients with non-cavitated proximal (approximal) caries lesions (primary or permanent dentition)
In the low caries-risk subgroup, micro-invasive treatment reduced the odds of lesion progression (OR 0.24, 95% CI 0.08 to 0.72; ungraded subgroup).
