Dr. Iman Sadri, a dentist since 2008, believes that dentistry must be more non invasive. He explains that 97 % of his root canal patients need root canals due to failed fillings (from outside offices). Teeth don't decompose for millions of years and they withstand fires. Dr. Iman discusses the approach to conservative dentistry by citing dental anthropology and dental forensics, to explain the slow progression of dental caries. Follow @DrImanSadri

Different types of composites have different characteristics depending on particle size, etc. Ohhh...that's right. It seems like all you ever hear about composites is "universal." But let's be honest, one size does NOT fit all! If you do any anterior composite work, you really need a microfill! Microfilled composites like Cosmedent's Renamel microfill handle really nicely, have gorgeous translucency and polish like a dream. If it's been awhile since you've used microfill, you owe it to yourself to give it a try again! Our friend and mentor Buddy Mopper was right! Don't dumb down composites to just one type! Get yourself a microfill and see what a difference it makes. It comes in syringes AND compules and I guarantee you'll find a bunch of great uses for it! Check it out at dentalhacks.com/microfill!

What are the benefits of Minimally Invasive Dentistry? According to DR. Tim Rainey, While everyone is reinventing themselves, it might be time to think about Minimally Invasive Preventive Dentistry™. I figured out how to stop at least 80% of all future decay in 1983 and have been sharing this with the rest of dentistry since 1985. Our procedures are so effective that we offer a Permanent, Professional Lifetime warranty on those restorations. A normal tooth occlusal surface will not decay if treated according to these principles.

Dr. Malterud is a solo clinician who has practiced in St. Paul Minnesota for over 36 years. He has always been passionate about Minimally Invasive dental procedures and this has allowed him to help his patients avoid crowns and root canals by treating early and definitively. His long term success with Resin bonded dentistry started over 34 years ago when he abandoned placing Amalgams and focused on direct and indirect resin bonded dentistry. As his practice evolved he became involved with organized Dentistry and spent some time on councils and committees of the AGD and served as Region 10 Trustee for 6 years. His time there helped him focus his energies on keeping dental practices independent and thriving as he saw the tide swelling towards corporate practices and his belief is in the personal relationships with patients and delivering comprehensive quality care. He currently is involved with Smile Source as an Advisor and Administrator and runs a local group of more than 25 exceptional Smile Source independent dentists in Minnesota. When he isn’t practicing wet fingered dentistry he eagerly seeks out education and also lectures around the country on Minimally Invasive Dentistry.
