New products have been developed that are praised to detect caries lesions earlier and with higher sensitivity. Once a caries lesion is detected there are many possibilities to control and manage the lesion. This lecture gives an overview on the latest developments in caries detection, its diagnosis and its management. Are dental professionals inferior, if they rely on visual examinations and bitewing radiography, or is it necessary to employ additional caries detection devices in the office? Is caries prevention with fluoride sufficient, or are there other methods at hand that are more suitable with regards to caries control?

• Participants should be familiar with the concept of differential learning.
• Participants should have knowledge of remineralization strategies with and without fluoride (CPP-ACP, SAPs).
• Participants should have knowledge of the different micro invasive caries management options.
