Abstract---Despite the efforts to prevent dental caries among children,
premature loss of primary teeth due to pulp and periapical diseases is
a common problem. The effect of this premature loss on the
development of dentition is a matter of great interest. Importantly, the
primary teeth are considered as natural space maintainers and
therefore should be retained until their natural exfoliation. Based on
these issues and concerns, the concept of “Lesion sterilization and
tissue repair (LSTR)” therapy proposed by the Cariology Research Unit
of the Niigata University School of Dentistry, would be preferable to
current endodontic treatments.
