Study Notes
Minimal Intervention Dentistry
- Principles of minimal intervention dentistry are based on factors that affect disease onset and progression.
- It incorporates concepts of prevention, control, and treatment.
Minimally Invasive Dentistry
- Focuses on conserving the maximum amount of dental tissue.
- Aimed at preserving tooth structure.
Early Caries Detection and Caries Risk Assessment
- Essential for minimal intervention strategies.
- Includes factors like fluoride exposure, dietary habits, medical history, and dental history.
Remineralisation of Enamel and Dentine Carious Lesions
- Aimed at reversing initial caries lesions.
- Plaque control and fluoride use are key.
Optimal Caries Preventive Measures
- Crucial for preventing caries.
- Includes strategies like diet counseling, fluoride use, and plaque control.
Minimally Invasive Operative Approaches for Managing Cavitated Dentine Carious Lesions
- Focuses on repairing rather than replacing restorations.
- Cavity design is determined by the extent of infected dentine, not predetermined.
Repair Rather Than Replace Defective Restoration
- This approach minimizes tissue removal.
- Based on clinical judgment.
Diagnostic Aids
- Radiographs: X-rays to visualize tooth structure.
- Optical aids: Loupes, microscopes for enhanced visibility.
- Fiberoptic transillumination (FOTI): Allows for visualizing caries, especially small lesions.
- Intraoral cameras: Detailed images of oral structures.
- Fluorescence systems: Assess the presence and extent of caries.
- Infrared laser: Detects caries using light fluorescence.
- LED cameras: Offer high-resolution images.
Caries Detection
- Visual and probing examinations.
- Methods like ICDAS determine the severity of the lesion.
Probing
- Does not improve diagnostic sensitivity for certain types of lesions (pits and fissures).
- Unreliable due to variables like probe size and force.
- Can cause damage inhibiting remineralization.
ICDAS
- System for classifying caries lesions.
- Determines the severity of the caries.
Fluoride Agents
- Community-based methods include water and salt fluoridation.
- Professional methods include fluoride gels and varnishes.
- Individual fluoride use includes toothpaste and mouthwash.
Non-Fluoride Agents
- Sugar substitutes: Xylitol and sorbitol are frequently used.
- Chlorhexidine: Potential but inconclusive evidence.
Fissure Sealant
- Helps prevent caries in pits and fissures.
- Sealants are not permanent.
Cavity Design
- Extension for prevention.
- Minimal invasive techniques consider the extent of infected dentine.
Minimally Invasive Approaches
- Composed of:
- Cutting & caries excavation
- Adhesive restorative materials
- Special techniques
Affected vs. Infected Dentine
- Affected dentine has few bacteria and is remineralizable.
- Infected dentine has bacterial invasion and is unremineralizable.
How Much Dentine Should Be Removed?
- Factors considered include pulp status, lesion depth, extent of viable tooth structure and clinical factors including patient risk.
Cutting & Caries Excavation
- Mechanisms include mechanical, non-rotary, chemomechanical, and photoablation.
Adhesive Restorative Materials
- Materials like GIC (glass ionomer cement) and composite resin are used in restorations.
Special Techniques
- Includes Preventive resin restoration (PRR).
- Sandwich Technique.
- Tunnel preparation.
- Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART).
Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART)
- A minimally invasive approach to dental caries treatment.
- Uses hand instruments for access, removal and restoration.
Replace or Repair?
- Replacing restorations inevitably increases cavity size.
- Repairing is a possible alternative depending on clinical judgment.
Recontouring and Repolishing
- Used to smooth out restorations and improve aesthetics post-treatment
- Used in cases where a small amount of damage is seen.
