Golden triangle of minimal intervention dentistry in paediatric dentistry
Keywords:

The Minimal Intervention Dentistry (MID) approach provides a more all-inclusive approach towards caries management, comprising of prevention, control, and treatment of caries. The various minimally invasive techniques employed in the MID are the preferred treatment modalities to treat dental caries in children. They are being increasingly employed by dentists with an aim to increase co-operation of children, with an added advantage of giving them a positive dental experience. The behavior modification of young children for an effective Paediatric Dental Care revolves around the Paediatric Dentistry Treatment Triangle, corners of which are formed primarily by the child, parent and dentist. To that end, we have tried to look at certain aspects of the MID from the perspective of a paediatric dentist and thereby proposed a modification of the ‘Golden Triangle of MID’ in relation to its application in paediatric dentistry.
