Solve this problem: 4 x 2 - 3= ?

What is the difference between an incipient and carious lesion?
An incipient lesion, which can be seen on an x-ray, is one that goes into the first layer of a tooth, or the enamel. At this stage, no fillings or restorative work is necessary. With improved home care and excess fluoride exposure, these fillings can stay stagnant and/or repair themselves. A carious lesion is one that extends into the second or third layer of the tooth, in which a filling or more extensive restorative work is needed to repair it.
