Advancements in Minimally Invasive Dentistry (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9786207997589)

Minimally invasive dentistry (MID) has undergone significant advancements, transforming traditional dental care into a more conservative, patient-friendly approach. Key innovations include early diagnostic tools like laser fluorescence and optical coherence tomography, which detect caries before cavitation. Techniques such as chemo-mechanical caries removal, air abrasion, and resin infiltration allow for selective decay removal while preserving healthy tooth structure. The rise of bioactive materials-like glass hybrid restoratives and calcium silicate-based cements-enhances remineralization and pulp healing. Digital dentistry, including intraoral scanners and CAD/CAM systems, supports precision-based restorations. Overall, MID emphasizes prevention, biomimetic repair, and long-term tooth preservation.
