Remineralisation in Contemporary MI Dentistry: Evidence, Mechanisms and Practical Integration

Remineralisation in Contemporary MI Dentistry: Evidence, Mechanisms and Practical Integration

• Explain the biological principles of remineralisation and how they underpin MI dentistry.
• Differentiate between major remineralisation technologies (e.g., CPP-ACP, fluoride systems, calcium-silicate materials, peptides) and interpret current comparative evidence.
• Identify appropriate clinical indications and patient profiles for remineralisation-based interventions.
• Apply practical clinical protocols for using remineralisation agents effectively in both preventive and early-lesion management, and integrate these strategies within a broader MI approach.

The New Era of Cariology

新時代のカリオロジー

• Understand the paradigm shift in cariology. Gain insight into the essence of contemporary cariology, which has shifted from infection removal to activity control, and from a surgically centered approach to a primarily non-surgical approach.
• Recognize the structural similarity between modern caries management and periodontal therapy. Be able to explain the lifelong disease-management flow—motivation, non-surgical intervention, surgical intervention when necessary, and maintenance—centered on activity control.
• Understand the essence of MI (Minimal Invasive Dentistry). Explain how MI goes beyond “minimizing the size of the cavity preparation” and functions as a philosophy rooted in tooth preservation and caries control within contemporary cariology.

• う蝕学におけるパラダイムシフトを理解する。 　感染除去から活動性コントロールへ、そして外科中心から非外科中心へと移行した現代カリオロジーの本質を理解する。
• 現代のう蝕治療が歯周病治療と構造的に類似していることを理解する。
  モチベーション → 非外科 → 外科 → メインテナンスという、生涯にわたる活動性管理を中心とした治療フローを説明できるようになる。
• MI（Minimal Invasive Dentistry）の本質を理解する。 　「侵襲を最小限に抑えた修復」を超えて、現代カリオロジーに基づく歯質保存とカリエスコントロールの理念として位置づけられることを説明できるようになる。
