Course Overview: Dental caries is still the most prevalent oral disease. Preventing its development and/or progression can reduce dental tissue loss and, as a result, the complexity (and cost) of future restorative procedures. 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.
