Abstract
Minimally invasive treatment of dental caries is an approach that uses
conservative management strategies focusing on maximum preservation of tooth
structure. Unlike the principles enumerated by GV Black, which advocated maximal
excavation of carious tooth structure, Minimal Invasive Dentistry (MID) conserves as
much tooth structure as possible and provides a conducive environment for the affected
tooth tissue to self-heal. This chapter enumerates the various modalities of Minimal
Intervention Dentistry or Minimally Invasive Dentistry (MID) and discusses
Atraumatic Restorative treatment (ART) in detail.
