Webinar: Minimally Invasive Dentistry - Dra. Aisha Mohamed

In pediatric dentistry, minimally invasive approaches emphasize a preventive philosophy supported by early risk assessment and tailored care. Advances in diagnostics allow clinicians to identify caries lesions at their earliest stages, enabling interventions that stop or slow progression without the need for extensive drilling or removal of tooth structure.

Its topical application allows the arrest of carious lesions without the need for invasive procedures, making it especially useful in children with high caries risk, behavioral challenges, or limited access to dental care.

Poor dietary habits, prolonged bottle feeding, and bacterial transmission from caregivers remain major risk factors for ECC, which continues to be one of the most prevalent childhood diseases worldwide.

In infants, oral conditions such as candidiasis can compromise comfort and feeding, while in older children, early signs like white spot lesions or molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) may indicate a higher susceptibility to caries progression if not addressed promptly. Preventive strategies at home—including proper toothbrushing with fluoride toothpaste, sugar control, and regular monitoring by parents—are crucial in stopping lesions at their earliest stage.

Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) is a preventive and restorative treatment of teeth affected by dental caries. This treatment does not require the use of rotary systems.

The benefit of this treatment is the one that can be realized in children who have some problem of anxiety or fear.


This treatment consists of the removal of dental caries by means of a curette, then an adhesive material, generally glass ionomer, is placed to close the cavity.
