Minimally Invasive Dentistry : The Management of Caries. Questo articolo non è disponibile.Minimally Invasive Dentistry : The Management of Caries

Shifts in perceptions about cariology along with advances in treatment have caused practitioners to thinking of caries management as medical rather than surgical, with the result being patients who keep their teeth for life. The 12 articles here focus on substance-retaining procedures and evidence-based practice, with the introduction covering both issues, followed by papers on caries prevention. Papers following cover bacterial and enzymatic tests, diagnosis of caries (in initial clinical examinations, radiographic imaging and fluorescence methods), assessing caries risk, ozone, remineralization, sealants, cavity preparation (including prevention of iatrogenic damage, sonic techniques, air abrasion and bioactive gases, chemomechanical treatment, lasers, and polymer cutting instruments), managing exposed dentine and pulp, selecting and using restorative materials, restoring in clinical settings, working with the aging patient, and upcoming techniques and strategies for minimally-invasive treatments and care.
