abstract: The purpose of this paper was to review the evidence available to the clinician in the area of restorative dental care for high-risk children to determine which approach should be taken in treatment planning for these patients. A literature review was conducted to analyze the aras of population risk, individual risk, treatment outcomes, and decision-making. It also attempted to integrate information from these areas into a plan of action for practitioners trying to understand how these studies should be applied to their practices.
