Minimal Intervention
― Maximum Impact: Modern Direct and Indirect Solutions for Worn Dentitions ―

This session focuses on modern, minimally invasive strategies for managing worn dentitions, combining direct and indirect approaches with digital workflows to simplify complex restorative cases; it highlights how advances in materials, adhesive techniques, and technologies such as 3D-printed guides and digital planning enable more predictable, efficient, and conservative treatments, while emphasizing accurate diagnosis and individualized treatment planning to restore both function and aesthetics with maximum impact and minimal intervention.

This lecture presents a contemporary approach to the management of worn dentition using direct restorative techniques, highlighting the integration of digital dentistry and advanced restorative materials. Participants will explore how intraoral scanning, CAD/CAM technologies, and streamlined digital workflows can improve diagnostic precision, treatment planning, and clinical efficiency. The session will also review current composite material innovations, focusing on their aesthetic performance, mechanical properties, and suitability for high-load functional environments. Through clinical case examples and practical insights, the lecture demonstrates how the combination of digital precision and modern materials enables minimally invasive, predictable, and durable restorative outcomes. Emerging trends and future directions in digitally driven restorative care will also be discussed, with an emphasis on optimising long-term patient outcomes.

Dental wear, caused by mechanical, chemical, or combined factors, is increasingly recognized as a significant clinical concern and has recently been associated with post-COVID conditions. The progressive loss of dental hard tissues results in functional impairments―including reduced masticatory efficiency, dentin hypersensitivity, alterations of the vertical dimension of occlusion, phonetic difficulties, atypical swallowing, and increased risk of tooth fracture―as well as esthetic deterioration, with a negative impact on patients’ quality of life and self-esteem.
Recent advances in digital dentistry and adhesive techniques have significantly expanded the therapeutic options for the minimally invasive management of dental wear. Traditional, more aggressive prosthetic preparations have been reconsidered in favor of updated clinical protocols and high-performance restorative materials, promoting predominantly additive and tissue-preserving approaches.
The lecture aims to present an updated classification of dental wear to facilitate accurate diagnosis and to assist clinicians in selecting the most appropriate and individualized rehabilitative strategy for each patient.
