Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

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.
