Prof. Mauro Fradeani outlines the philosophy behind minimally invasive prosthetic dentistry, showing how conservative protocols can manage complex restorative cases while preserving natural tooth structure.
This course examines the broader philosophy behind minimally invasive prosthetic treatment, an operative approach designed to address highly compromised clinical situations without resorting to more aggressive, tissue-sacrificing procedures. The discussion traces the shift in restorative dentistry toward protocols that preserve residual tooth structure and periodontal support while still achieving predictable esthetic and functional results.
Topics include treatment planning criteria for selecting minimally invasive solutions, the biological and mechanical rationale for conservative preparation designs, and how this philosophy fits within a broader systematic approach to esthetic rehabilitation.
