Abstract

Minimally invasive and regenerative dentistry represent paradigm shifts in modern oral healthcare. Rather than focusing solely on surgical intervention and tissue replacement, these approaches prioritize early detection, preservation of natural tooth structure, and biological repair of damaged tissues. Advances in adhesive materials, biomimetics, stem cell biology, and tissue engineering have expanded the potential to restore form and function while maintaining biological integrity. This mini-review highlights the principles, materials, clinical applications, and future directions of minimally invasive and regenerative dentistry.
