Minimum Invasive Dental Concept in Prevention and Conservative Treatment ? From Research and Science to Practice

E. Boteva

Abstract: The minimum invasive dental concept is based on practical experience for more than 30 years of the negative trends from the use of resin materials in distal teeth and early metal-ceramic aesthetic crowns and bridges. The scientific dental research includes all aspects of the conservation in dental caries treatment which are scientifically and clinically proved with most up to date methods and tests anthropometric, epidemiological, biochemical, immunohistochemical, electron microscopy, polarized light microscopy, light induced fluorescence, microradiography, microbiology, genetic tests etc. Experiments in situ, in vitro, animal tests, clinical research in the last 31 years were focused in the field of prevention of dental caries, treatment of precavitated precarious lesions with nanotechnologies, preparation of hard dental tissues with most conservative techniques, adhesive restoration methods with amalgam and resins. The conclusions can be focused on basic principles and refocused in the 21 century like Dental caries is not only predictable and controlled disease but is also a polyethiological disease on a community and population levels and uni- or bi- ethiological on an individual level. The minimum invasive dental concept in cariology leads to prevention of endodontic treatment, early extractions and early prosthetic medical procedures.
