Abstract: Introduction: Caries diagnosis process has been more difficult in the last years due to the decline of caries progress observed in most countries. Aims and objectives: The main objective of the study is to analyze the dental caries lesions in primary teeth without obvious cavitation among Pakistani children. Material and methods: This observational study was conducted in de ‘Montmorency College of Dentistry during December 2018 to April 2019. The data was collected from 50 patients who want to seek dental treatment. This involves the parents/careers in more than simply bringing children for appointments with the oral healthcare team. It includes the wider aspects of oral healthcare, such as providing the fundamental home-based caries preventive programmers of best tooth brushing practice and a healthy diet, as well as being role models for children in establishing good habits and attitudes. Results: The data was collected from 200 patients. The imperative for effective caries prevention for children is that adult dental disease begins in childhood.4 This means that prevention not only ensures children avoid the consequences of unmanaged dental caries (pain and infection), but that in addition, they can progress to adulthood with a healthy dentition, a positive attitude to taking on the responsibility for maintaining their dentition for themselves, and the ability to accept any necessary dental treatment without anxiety. Conclusion: It is concluded that enamel lesions were treated through less invasive treatments. Radiographs influenced the decision, especially for the lesions that involved the inner half of dentin.
