CHAVES, Larissa Pinceli et al. Approximal caries: bases and tools for early diagnosis. Odontol. Clín.-Cient. (Online) [online]. 2010, vol.9, n.1, pp. 33-37. ISSN 1677-3888.

Incipient approximal caries diagnosis remains as a challenge in early intervention. Besides of adequate clinical exam, complementary methods have been proposed. Based in recent investigations about progress of caries lesions of fluor-supported generation, a new approach is needed to avoid over-treatment.
