Arrest and control of carious lesions: a study based on preliminary experiments with resorcinol-formaldehyde resin.
An experimental investigation has been made into the possibilities of retarding the progress of carious attack by infiltrating cariostatic material into enamel lesions. The problems associated with this kind of procedure are discussed against the background of experimental observations made using a formulation based on a resorcinol-formaldehyde resin.
