For Patient P (Low risk, C4 extending fully 1/3 into…
Prevention and cariology questions test evidence-based decision-making — fluoride protocols, caries risk assessment, recall scheduling. This high-difficulty vignette tests your ability to work through clinical details and arrive at the correct management.
Three adults, each with a C4 radiolucency on the mesial of an upper premolar: Patient P is Low risk (no cavities, BW ≤C4). Patient Q is Medium risk (1 new/year, progressing radiolucencies). Patient R is High risk (frank cavities elsewhere, extensive white spots). Tooth separation is not possible for any patient. The radiolucency on each extends fully one-third into dentine. For Patient P (Low risk, C4 extending fully 1/3 into dentine, separation not possible): what is the management?
- A. Do not restore — Low risk C4 is always managed non-invasively regardless of radiolucency depth
- B. Restore — the radiolucency extends fully 1/3 through dentine, which satisfies the Low/Medium restoration criterion even without separation
- C. Refer for CBCT scan — 2D radiographs cannot reliably assess the 1/3 depth threshold for Low risk C4
- D. Apply topical fluoride for 6 months then re-assess — the 1/3 criterion only applies after failed non-invasive therapy

Integration: Table 5 C4 Low/Medium: 'Restore only if radiolucency extends fully 1/3 into dentine OR separation confirms cavitation.' Condition 1 is met (fully 1/3). Separation not possible = irrelevant because depth criterion alone is sufficient. SOURCE — Evans RW et al. CMS for adults, ADJ 2008;53:83-92, Table 5
