Decoding Anterior Aesthetics with MiCD

Synopsis

Minimally Invasive Cosmetic Dentistry (MiCD) showcases the minimalism with which life-like aesthetics can be achieved while reducing the biological cost involved in aesthetic dental procedures. The art & science of minimally invasive dentistry adopts techniques which can reduce the loss of precious dental tissues, that could be already compromised due to pathologic processes like caries or trauma. These techniques not only aim at reducing the biological & financial cost while restoring form & function, but also focus on harmonizing aesthetics to mimic nature. 

​​

Preservation of natural tooth structure enhances the strength of the restored teeth, while ensuring the longevity of the entire treatment. With the evolution of MiCD techniques & advent of new age, bioactive restorative materials, the scope of MiCD has expanded beyond routine aesthetic restorations. Elaborate aesthetic & functional rehabilitations can now be undertaken with the minimally invasive approach. 

​​

This lecture will focus on the origin & evolution of minimally invasive dentistry over the years & how it can be applied to day-to-day clinical practice in restorative, aesthetic-cosmetic & rehabilitative dentistry. Minimally invasive approach encompasses simple to complex anterior restorations, diastema closures, smile-makeovers, aesthetic & functional rehabilitations. The speaker will also provide insights into how current digital dentistry protocols can be combined with MiCD to enhance treatment outcomes and overall clinical experience for the patient.
