This Dawson and Makinson were the first to use the term minimal interventional dentistry (also referred to now as minimally invasive dentistry [MID]). This model stresses early caries detection and risk assessment, re-mineralization of demineralized enamel and dentin, caries prevention, minimally invasive operative procedures, and means to repair rather than replace restorations. The main goal of minimal intervention is to increase the life of the teeth, which was restored with less intervention.
