Minimum Intervention
GC is proud to present to you just the right products that suits best for your Minimum Intervention Treatment protocol...
Identify
The examination of a patient is not limited to the teeth, but takes the risk factors for caries into account, like diet, brushing habits and saliva. In order to diagnose and monitor caries the diagnostic threshold has to be reduced to the first clinical signs of caries in enamel. These early forms are clinically detectable in fissures and on flat surfaces as well as on x-rays for the interproximal areas. New diagnostic tools became available that help in identifying risk factors and also help motivating patients.
Prevent
Preventing caries from advancing is possible, if a patient is willing to change his habits. Diet and tooth-brushing must be optimized to be effective in caries prevention. In practice, active preventive treatments aims at reducing the caries risk factors and promoting remineralisation. Very effective are a combination of professional mechanical tooth cleaning, antibacterial drugs, a healthy diet and medicaments to promote remineralisation.
Restore
Choosing to restore early lesions with non-invasive remineralizing treatments and restoring cavitated lesions using biocative materials and retaining as much as tooth structure as possible (minimal invasive cavities) is the basis of the MI Restore concept. With EQUIA from GC EUROPE, Glass Ionomers are no more a temporary restorative solution. This Glass Ionomer based material not only gives you a long term restorative solution but also equally great aesthetics! Such bio-active restorative materials chemically bond to the tooth structure and require less removal of tooth structure than the traditional materials.
Recall
In cariology, standard recall schemes (see your dentist twice a year) have long been used. That approach for highly susceptible patients is too long, for some with very low susceptibility is perhaps too much.
GC's Minimum intervention (MI) program proposes a systematic way to introduce modern concepts in cariology into your daily clinical practice.
