Minimum Intervention Treatment Plan - Putting MI into practice Part 3 - MI Restore and MI Recall: Maintain oral health and maximize tooth structure

Introduction & objectives: The Minimum Intervention (MI) concept is well described in the literature and summarizes the clinical rationale for the preventive and cause related approach in cariology. The aim of the Pan-European group of academics and GPs - the GC Europe MI Advisory Board – was to present an evidence based treatment approach for the clinical practice. Materials & methods: Evidence based literature review Results & discussion: MI Restore presents techniques for conservation of tooth structure when restorations have to be placed. Distinctions are made between non-invasive and invasive techniques. Adhesive materials are nowadays available for both indications and the non-invasive or sometimes “ repair approach” is shown to be successful in many indications. MI Recall: To maintain oral health the patient most often needs professional support life, to compensate his inabilities and control changes in risk factors throughout life. Despite the lack of scientific evidence regarding optimal recall intervals, there is the need for scheduling recall period according to the patient’ s susceptibility in order to prevent oral disease and to control the effectiveness of the preventive regimen. Information will be given to remind the audience of the relevance of customizing the recall period according to the dynamic of the carious process, the patient demand and some cultural aspects related to national health services context in the different European countries
