Non-Operative, Micro- and Minimally Invasive Methods for Caries Treatment: A Narrative Review

This 2026 narrative review consolidates evidence on minimally invasive dentistry for caries management, covering non-operative (e.g., fluoride varnish, SDF), micro-invasive (e.g., resin infiltration, sealants), and minimally invasive operative techniques. It highlights advanced technologies like air abrasion and laser-assisted caries removal. Highly relevant for restorative and pediatric dentistry, promoting tooth preservation.
