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
