Sažetak
Better understanding of caries has changed the focus from operative to preventive approach and minimally invasive strategies in the treatment and restoration of caries lesions. Early caries lesions can be remineralized with the application of products containing fluor, calcium and phosphates. Tooth-saving techniques of cavity preparation and new dental materials should be used for more advanced caries lesions. Studies in different european countries have shown major variances in restorative treatment decisions. The aim of the study was to identify differences in the diagnostic criteria and the restorative treatment used by dentists in Croatia. Questionnaires with illustrations of occlusal and approximal caries lesions and corresponding questions were distributed to the dentists. The questionnaire assessed the treatment thresholds, the choices of restorative methods and materials. According to the results, 37 % of dentist in Croatia would restore the approximal caries lesion when the caries has reached dentin.
