Prevention is essential for reducing its incidence and can be achieved by maintaining a balanced diet and practicing good oral hygiene. Early detection of initial carious lesions, such as enamel demineralization, is essential for preventing progression and enabling effective management. Currently, there are various methods available for detecting dental caries, ranging from simple visual inspections to advanced imaging techniques, along with fluorescent and electrical detection methods, which are also instrumental in identifying lesions before they advance to more severe stages. Management strategies for enamel demineralization can vary from conservative methods, such as the use of remineralizing agents, to more invasive treatments. Herein, this article provides a comprehensive review of established and emerging approaches for preventing, detecting, and managing enamel demineralization for health care providers to take proactive steps toward improving oral health.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0045-1809179","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,27]],"date-time":"2025-05-27T19:35:51Z","timestamp":1748374551000},"page":"023-033","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Cariogenic
