title: Ultraconservative resin restorations. "Watch and wait" is not acceptable treatment.
abstract: UltraConservative dentistry represents a great step forward for the dentist, the profession, and particularly for the patient. It involves the early detection and complete elimination of all accessible and non-accessible carious material from the tooth. Untreated caries, though they may be tiny, can be extremely and very rapidly destructive. The earliest interception of decay maintains total dental health, and increases the likelihood of the restored teeth lasting a lifetime.
