We report the case of a 12-day-old neonate, born by cesarean section at 36
weeks of gestation, with normal prenatal follow-up and no relevant findings on
fetal ultrasounds. At birth, the infant developed transient tachypnea, requiring
brief oxygen therapy. During hospitalization, the mother noted extensive
ecchymosis of the left upper limb, accompanied by generalized jaundice, severe
anemia, and profound thrombocytopenia, prompting intensive management
with blood products, sedation, inotropic support, and ventilatory assistance.

Proximal dental caries in posterior teeth is a widely encountered lesion. In spite
of this, appropriate management of proximal caries proved to be challenging.
In this paper, a case of proximal caries in a posterior molar tooth in a male
adult that was successfully arrested without surgical intervention will be
presented. If dentists were to follow the guidelines presented in this paper for
none-interventional management of proximal caries, the number of surgical
interventions for the treatment of proximal caries will significantly drop.
