چکیده

One of the goals of dentistry is to develop new approaches in restorative dentistry that will reduce the amount of tooth removal during treatment. With advances in material science and restorative techniques, we are able to attain these ideals and recreate nature with minimal removal of tooth structure. The latest developments in minimally invasive dentistry (MID) and its impact on esthetic restorative dentistry will be discussed (Fig. 1 and 2).

Minimally invasive preparation and design of a cantilevered, all-ceramic, resin-bonded, fixed partial denture in the esthetic zone: a case report and descriptive review.

UNLABELLED Resin-bonded, fixed partial dentures have the potential to offer a minimally invasive, fixed-prosthetic approach to tooth replacement in patients who may not be candidates for implant therapy. However, traditional preparation protocols often recommend extensive preparation designs on two abutment teeth, thereby potentially compromising the long-term health of the adjacent abutments a...

Chairside replacement of posterior teeth using a prefabricated fiber-reinforced resin composite framework technique: a case report.

UNLABELLED The fixed replacement of a single posterior missing tooth for those patients who cannot have either implants or conventional laboratory-generated fixed prostheses has always been a challenge to clinicians. The development of fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs) has opened up new possibilities of chairside treatment options to manage these types of clinical situations. Techniques using ...
