Fluoride Varnishes for Preventing Occlusal Dental Caries: A Review
Dentistry Journal, 2021 Dental caries are most likely to occur on occlusal surfaces from the early eruptive stages of the tooth. In children, about 80% to 90% of dental caries are occlusal caries. Different preventive modalities are used to prevent occlusal caries.

Occlusal caries diagnosis and treatment
Brazilian Journal of Oral Sciences, 2015 The occlusal surface has been considered the most suitable site for carious attack for its complex anatomy and posterior location. These characteristics facilitate plaque accumulation and difficult clinical perception of visual changes on pits and ...

Caries Process on Occlusal Surfaces: Evolving Evidence and Understanding [PDF]
Caries Research, 2014 Management of the caries process on occlusal surfaces of permanent molars has proven a major challenge. The onset of caries on these surfaces takes place soon after their eruption, and the permanent first molars, followed by the second molars, remain the sites in the dentition which show the highest caries prevalence.
