Abstract

Minimally invasive dentistry (MID) (or minimal intervention dentistry) is defined as a holistic approach that respects the dental tissues and the patient’s comfort and aims to help maintain long-term oral health centred around preventive, patient-focused care plans with the management of patients’ needs and expectations [1, 2]. It recognises that caries is a multifactorial, lifestyle-associated condition, which can be modified with behavioural modifications [3]. Caries can also be managed without removing all microorganisms involved, with the focus shifting to arresting the lesion instead [4]. Management can be divided into four stages: Identify, prevent, restore, and recall.
