Minimally Invasive Dentistry

A helpful introduction to the Minimally Invasive Dentistry concept for patient care in the treatment of dental disease

Minimally Invasive Dentistry provides a practical introduction to holistic patient care across all the dental specialties. Beginning with the definitions and key principles of MID, the following chapters focus on the concepts of MID, including saliva as a natural product, risk assessments, the early detection of diseases, management of dental caries, futuristic materials, innovative techniques, and the implementation of preventative strategies with health education for patients. In this way, this book offers a comprehensive and evidence-based look at this important branch of dentistry.

Minimally Invasive Dentistry readers will also find:

• A unique approach to minimally invasive dentistry across all dental disciplines
• A companion website with case studies and interactive MCQs to test your knowledge
• Coverage of MID factors in the prevention, control and treatment of disease

Edited by leading figures, and with contributions from a diverse group of international authors, Minimally Invasive Dentistry is a useful reference for undergraduate and postgraduate dental students. It is also a practical guide for the whole dental team.

A helpful introduction to an up-and-coming concept for patient care in the treatment of dental disease

Minimal Intervention Dentistry (MID) is the new frontier of patient care that deals with the causes of dental disease, and not just the symptoms. There has been a growth in the percentage of the population that is dentate-they have at least one natural tooth-in the last forty years. We are, however, facing a new era of dentate population with heavily restored dentition due to a previously held belief in the field of maximum extension for maximum retention. This in turn created complicated dental problems where a patient is in a vicious restorative cycle with no way out.

Minimally Invasive Dentistry provides a practical introduction to MID across all the dental specialties. Relying on earlier research on minimally invasive dentistry for the management of caries, this book introduces the concept of MID and how it may be applied across the dental disciplines. It focuses on key concepts of MID, including saliva as a natural product, the early detection of diseases, risk assessment, materials, innovative techniques, and the implementation of preventative strategies with health education for patients. In this way, this book offers a comprehensive look at this important branch of dentistry.

Minimally Invasive Dentistry readers will also find:

• Supported by a companion website with case studies and interactive MCQs to test your knowledge
