Dental caries is one of the most prevalent chronic non-communicable diseases worldwide.

The study aimed to investigate the extent to which primary active caries lesions in adults affect caries lesions progression compared with inactive caries lesions over a 2-year follow-up period, considering their severity, surface and tooth type.
