However, lesions that develop on approximal surfaces of contacting posterior teeth and are detected radiographically pose a unique challenge. Croll and Berg 1,2 have suggested the use of soft dental picks dipped in 38% SDF solution to soak such caries lesions to attenuate progression of the caries infections.
