This trio of experts have pioneered minimally invasive techniques and will share how to optimize the latest
materials and techniques for the modern clinical practice. They will take participants through a tour of the
mechanisms with supporting evidence underlying this revolution in dentistry. The major focus will be on
getting the most use out of Glass Hybrids, Glass Ionomers, Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF), strip crowns,
remineralization materials and Hall crowns, for both dental caries and molar-incisor hypo-mineralization
(MIH).
Learning Objectives
