SANTOS, Fernanda Malheiro; CERQUEIRA, Daniella Ferraz  and  IMPARATO, José Carlos Pettorossi. Alternative approach to proximal carious lesion in anterior teeth using the abrasion technique: Case report. Stomatos [online]. 2010, vol.16, n.30, pp. 65-72. ISSN 1519-4442.

The treatment of proximal carious lesions in primary teeth is usually difficult to implement. The success is related to cavity preparation, the proper color choice of the restorative material and the restorative technique itself. This case report describes for proximal carious lesions in primary teeth alternative approach, by using abrasion technique of the decayed surface and with the technique of surface abrasion of decayed, with clinical and radiographic follow-up of 07 months. It is concluded that, the abrasion technique can be effective to arrest proximal carious lesions in primary anterior teeth.
