Abstract
Dental caries is the most prevalent dental hard tissue disease, and is usually treated through dental restoration. Traditionally, decayed dental tissue was removed and shaped into a specific cavity and then restored to recover its morphology and function by using appropriate artificial filling materials. The process includes removal of decayed tissue, cavity preparation, and filling. After 100 years of development, more attention was paid to the conservative, aesthetic, and preventive treatment of dental caries. In this chapter the current status and future development of caries treatment theory are discussed, in addition to the clinical management of caries
