GNYDM Symposium 2012 - Predictable Proactive and Profitable Minimally Invasive Dentistry

New materials and techniques make it easy to practice Minimally Invasive Dentistry.

This gentler patient-friendly dentistry is now predictable, proactive and profitable:

• Predictable—Areas of early decay are detected and mapped, successfully treated and easily re- evaluated. The "patient friendly" direct restoration repair instead of indirect replacement is a predictable minimally invasive option (The "Perimeter Prep").
• Proactive - Easy effective bioactive sealants can be placed without the need for etching. Bioactive restorative materials enhance the healing of teeth and reduce restorative failure.
• Profitable - Many minimally invasive techniques are easier, and faster than traditional dentistry. Patients prefer to be treated in an office that practices minimally invasive dentistry.
• Create a predictable proactive profitable practice with patients for life.

• Treat dental patients using the medical model of proactive intervention dentistry
• Accurately detect and map early decay using scientific reproducible and clinically significant technology
• Understand and incorporate new remineralization therapies and bioactive restorative materials into everyday dental practice
• Create a predictable proactive profitable practice with patients for life
