In recent years, more and more dentists will recommend minimally invasive treatment, whether it is tooth extraction or dental implant, but different dentists have different understandings of dental science. Today, we invited Director Gao Limin of Vickong Dental Department to listen to his understanding of dental science concept!

Director Gao Limin, national registered dental practitioner, has nearly 30 years of clinical experience. He was a member of the technical expert guidance group of dental disease prevention and treatment of Shenzhen Luohu District Health Bureau, and director and associate professor of the Department of Stomatology of Luohu District Chronic Disease Prevention and Treatment Hospital. He has rich practical cases and experience in the treatment of dental and periodontal disease, dental implants and denture restoration.

Q1: Director Gao, now many dentists all advocate minimally invasive treatment in the treatment, so what is the matter of minimally invasive treatment? Is it a subject?

Director Gao: There is already the concept of minimally invasive dentistry. Fan Mingwen mentioned in 2015 New Progress in Oral Science that the formation of the concept of minimally invasive dentistry is mainly due to the excessive diagnosis and treatment of the traditional diagnosis and treatment mode of caries damage. Due to the caries recognition inaccurate excluded part of the possibility of remineralization, using dental drill excessive grinding dental tissue, open the cycle of repeated filling, teeth is likely to enjoy lifelong chances of less and less, and the emergence of minimally invasive dental will maximize the preservation tooth physiological function, prolong its service life.

Q2: Do different dentists have different understandings of the minimally invasive dental society?

Director Gao: This is certain. In the eyes of a thousand people, there are a thousand Hamlet. Every doctor meets different patients, and the understanding of minimally invasive dental science is different.

Q3: What is your understanding of minimally invasive dental science?

Director Gao: My understanding of minimally invasive dental science, in addition to minimize the damage to the teeth or wounds, try to keep all the teeth that can be retained. Last year, a 34 man, impacted wisdom teeth because not removed in time, lead to 7 seriously loose teeth, went to other dental advice, then he introduced his family to my office dental, after examination or try to help him keep, wisdom teeth, the extremely loose 7 teeth and 6 teeth with glass ions bond stability, first 7 tooth grinding low grinding small open pulp Fc cotton seal, and then pull out wisdom teeth, such as 7 teeth slowly recover. Now the no. 7 tooth has been successfully retained after the crown repair!

In addition, I think there is another important thing is to seek simple, safe! For example, tooth extraction, you may have heard of Foshan before. How much endurance can the patient bear for tooth extraction? I was impressed by the two patients before the age of 30, one is a middle-aged man, drunk turn over railing, upper 6 anterior teeth like nails into the bottom of the nose, strange is only maxillary alveolar fracture, no obvious brain trauma and brain dish rhinorrhea, had to give him to find all six teeth, alveolar bone fracture only suture gums, later healing made active denture, during the brain surgery review also no problem; patients bear individual differences, tooth extraction also want to have sufficient safety psychological preparation! My understanding of the significance of minimally invasive understanding, is summarized in practice！

Q4: What advice do you have for the younger doctors?

Director Gao: In fact, no matter how old or young, as a professional dentist, we should solve the oral problems of patients safely! The main responsibility of the dentist is to help the patient repair the missing teeth, restore certain occlusal function, and help the beautiful tooth correction and aesthetic repair, safety is the first!
