The noninvasive proximal adhesive restoration (NIPAR) technique is a noninvasive approach that utilizes a one-component universal adhesive for infiltration and a filled flowable resin for impermeable sealing. This technique offers several benefits. The noninvasive treatment approach is particularly significant in restorative dentistry, as it entails identifying and managing caries in their initial phases. The efficacy of the noninvasive proximal adhesive restoration technique is limited to non-cavitated lesions. In this case report, a 24-year-old male patient with no relevant medical conditions with a history of dental extractions and restorations visited the University of Geneva Dental School for a complete dental check-up. Orthopantomogram (OPG) and bitewing radiographs revealed multiple initial proximal caries in teeth # 37 (mesial), # 36 (mesial & distal), and # 35 (distal). In addition, DIAGNOcam (KaVo) was used as a diagnostic tool to establish proximal caries' progression. After discussing treatment options with the patient, a decision was made to treat the lesions at the enamel level using NIPAR.
