TY - JOUR T1 - "Innovative Strategies in Minimally Invasive Dentistry for Caries Management: A Literature Synthesis" A1 - Mariana Vega A1 - Hugo Fuentes A1 - Valeria Cordero A1 - Luis Silva A1 - Regina Cabrera JF - Journal of Dental and Allied Oral Health Sciences Y1 - 2021 VL - 1 IS - 2 SP - 66 EP - 87 N2 - Over the past several years, a deeper insight into caries pathology alongside innovations in dental biomaterials has sparked growing interest in conservative, non-invasive and minimally invasive alternatives that postpone or eliminate the necessity of conventional restorations. This review evaluates a selection of these modern interventions—such as fluoride varnish, silver diamine fluoride, resin sealants, resin infiltration, chemomechanical removal of decay, and atraumatic restorative treatment—analyzing their underlying chemistry, indications, clinical performance, determinants of success, and inherent constraints. Furthermore, it explores ongoing research aimed at amplifying the antimicrobial potential of these procedures to broaden their clinical utility. UR - https://tsdp.net/article/Nynj1f41bp5x3PbSBsuH ER -
