Title:

Futuristic Materials in Caries Management: A Minimally Invasive Strategy

Abstract:

Dental caries remains one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in clinical practice. Despite advances in prevention, many healthcare systems still rely on invasive and resource-intensive treatments that do not fully address the underlying disease or patient quality of life. This talk will highlight the growing importance of Evidence-Based Dentistry (EBD) and Minimally Invasive Dentistry (MID) as patient-centred, prevention-first approaches aligned with modern population health goals. The session will provide an update on minimally invasive strategies for managing dental caries using futuristic materials within holistic clinical practice.
