Abstract
Caries lesions which affect the occlusal surface have been classified by clinical criterion in incipient lesions or lesions "in situ", and clear or dentinal caries lesions. The inicial caries creates some diagnostic problems, needing sometimes to make diagnostic ameloplastics. When the lesion is small and well defined is advisable to do a resin preventive restauration. When the lesion is small and not clearly localized, a class I adhesive restauration. The evident or dentin caries don't create us any problem. When they are invasive and not cavitary it is recommend taking a previous impression of the occlusal surface with light-curing resin to transfer an identical morphology and occlusal contacts to composite restauration. But when the caries is deeper and has produced a cavity, we recommend a prior sealing of the caries cavity and then it will treated as a non cavity lesion.
