Limitations of non-AGP and low AGP in management of carious lesions
The majority of carious lesions in children and young adults can be treated with non-AGP measures because they are usually the first lesion on a tooth. One of the difficulties with applying non-AGPs in adults is that most lesions occur in relation to a failing restoration (previously known as secondary caries) and it does not seem possible to remove restorative materials without using rotary instruments and creating aerosols. However, repairing existing restorations rather than replacing them should be considered where possible.
