For high-risk patients, the operative plan may involve sealing non-cavitated lesions (resin infiltration) rather than preparing cavities.

Excellent for high-caries-risk patients due to continuous fluoride release and chemical bonding to tooth structure. 3. Cavity Preparation Principles

Rather than conventional "complete" excavation, modern techniques involve selective removal (only removing necrotic tissue near the pulp) to prevent pulpal exposure and strengthen the remaining structure. 3.
