Odontología mínimamente invasiva: Una alternativa para el tratamiento de la caries dental

The histological differentiation of the areas of dental caries described by Fusayama in 1945 has led to the development of new technologies for caries treatment, based on a more conservative and preventive approach, and pursuing as objective to extend the functional time of the dental organ within the oral cavity under optimum conditions. Minimally Invasive Dentistry is a current that proposes alternative techniques to the conventional treatment of caries and that involve the selective elimination of infected dentin by bacteria, preserving affected dentin without microorganisms and with remineralizable capacity, among these techniques find the chemical-mechanical removal. Success in the application of this method lies in the correct manipulation of the technique and is closely related to the choice of the material that forms the tooth-adhesive-restoration interface, an effort to which a great number of studies have dedicated those who bet by ultraconservative dentistry.
