Conference summary
Nowadays, we know the most adverse pathological effects on the dental pulp, comes from invasive treatments.
Conservative dentistry has changed as quickly as other specialities in our profession. New materials, new concepts, improve our practice and let us have better long-term results. Even old techniques with a new understanding can help us.
We will talk about less invasive treatments, not in the meant of NO treatment, but in the meaning of preserving tooth structure. Advance diagnosis, which lesion can be remineralised, and which not, selective caries removal versus no selective, bioactive materials, composites or ceramics, we will follow all these topics.
The main idea is that early treatment gives us the opportunity to develop a new area of work in our clinic, less invasive to give us better results, and better quality of life.
And the most important thing, to help our patients to maintain their teeth for life!
