Course Description
In this lecture participants will take a journey of minimally invasive dentistry through its evolution over the past 80 years to present-day alternatives.
The MID treatments and protocols of the past have successfully stopped and arrested carious lesions, however, often remain provisional, or used as
a stop gap, requiring further, ongoing treatment or more invasive long term restorative solutions.

Continual research in materials science and technology, product development and further refinement, has over time led to Bioactive Restorative materials. These materials are further enhancing and even replacing MID protocols of the past, creating a new generation of treatment protocols and opening up the world to REGENERATIVE Dentistry.

There is one key ingredient, taking Regenerative Dentistry to a higher level
and it’s probably not what you think!
• Enabling the regeneration of carious lesions in enamel without removal of
the lesion
• Regenerating affected dentin in carious dentin
• Treating MIH, preventing post-eruptive enamel breakdown in molars
• Treating MIH opacities with bioactive materials
