Minimal Invasive Dentistry- A Comprehensive Review
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 17, Issue 5
Abstract
Minimal intervention dentistry initiates from the traditional surgical approach to the elimination of caries lesions seen as radiolucencies in the inner half of the enamel, at the dentin-enamel junction (DEJ), and slightly into dentin, with the removal of the minimal amount of healthy tooth structure. Dental adhesives and restorative materials; changes in remineralisation, caries process and prevalence have revolutionized the caries management from G.V. Black’s "extension for prevention" to "minimally invasive." The benefit for patients from Minimal invasion lies in better oral health, minimizing the restoration cycle and reducing the patient dental anxieties. Minimal invasion includes clinical procedures such as assessment of caries risk, early detection of the disease followed by restoration of fissure caries with maximum retention.
