THE ROLE OF MINIMAL INTERVENTION DENTISTRY IN CARIES MANAGEMENT: A REVIEW OF CONTEMPORARY APPROACHES
Main Article Content
Keywords
Minimal Intervention Dentistry, Dental Caries, Conservative Treatment, Early Detection
Abstract
Minimal Intervention Dentistry (MID) represents a paradigm shift in the management of dental caries, emphasizing prevention, early detection, and conservative treatment approaches. This review article explores the principles of MID, including risk assessment, the use of non-invasive diagnostic tools, and the implementation of remineralization strategies. It also delves into the techniques and technologies integral to MID, such as air abrasion, chemomechanical caries removal, and the use of adhesive restorative materials. The clinical outcomes associated with MID are discussed, highlighting the preservation of natural tooth structure, the reduction in caries progression, and enhanced patient satisfaction. Future directions for MID are considered, including advancements in diagnostic tools, materials, and the integration of digital dentistry. The article concludes that MID offers a sustainable, patient-centered approach to dental care, with ongoing research and technological advancements poised to further revolutionize the field.
