The term “minimally invasive” or ”minimal intervention” has been a common phrase in the medical field for some time now. You may have heard of minimally invasive surgical procedures, including prostate surgery, hip replacements, and heart surgery, that produce less trauma, a smaller scar, and less recovery time. Dentistry has adopted this 21st century approach as well, with a primary emphasis on the management of tooth decay. These principles aim to identify and eliminate the risk factors, and if surgical intervention (filling) is necessary, the goal is to restore the cavity and preserve healthy tooth structure in the process.
