Due to the development of new materials and techniques, minimally invasive and preventive dental practices have advanced significantly. Antimicrobial, bioactive, biocompatible, bioinert, and/or biomimetic materials are among the numerous options currently available to clinicians. The correct application of techniques and indication of the materials are crucial to the success of a treatment plan. This course aims to provide clinicians with evidence-based information on how to apply complex preventive and minimally invasive concepts to clinical practice in a straightforward manner.
