Minimum Intervention (MI) Dentistry
An approach for dentists to base their patient care on disease risk assessment, earliest diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment
Evidence Based Dentistry (EBD)
Emerging standard in dental research, representing a shift away from subjective expert opinion towards objective, verifiable evidence through systematic review and scrutiny
Current MI Evidence Base
The result of continuos assessment of MI concepts, innovations and treatment procedures through EBD scrutiny. The current MI Evidence Base is accessible through this database
