Abstract Background Esthetic dentistry has become a very important aspect of every dental treatment from the patient perspective, whether it is orthodontics or implant therapy. The aim of this article is to describe the advantages of a newly developed branch of five-to-five clear aligner therapy (CAT) (Invisalign Go, Align Technology, San Jose, Calif) in interdisciplinary treatments especially in terms of minimally invasive interventions. Case presentation Two case reports are presented together with a comprehensive analysis using the SAFE (Safety, Assessment, Function, Ethics) assessment. This paper aims to introduce a new systematic in CAT. Invisalign Go (Align Technology, Santa Clara, California, USA) allows orthodontic treatment from second premolar and second premolar in both arches. It is specially designed for general practitioners devoted to restorative dentistry for a better planning of a multidisciplinary and mini-invasive treatment plan. Discussion and conclusion The clinical results demonstrate how CAT is extremely useful in multidisciplinary treatment plan in order to straighten teeth especially in a pre-restorative phase to allow minimally invasive and adhesive restorations.

AbstractCyclic strabismus is a rare disease of unknown origin. If untreated, it leads to manifest strabismus with the risk of amblyopia in children. Treatment is generally surgical. Here we report on three children in whom cyclic esotropia was successfully treated with one bimedial injection of 5 IU Botox®. All patients remained orthotropic with good stereo functions at the last follow-ups at 16, 11, and 8 months. Botulinum toxin offered a minimally invasive treatment option in these patients.

Abstract Background: The conventional surgical method for calcaneal fractures is the extensile lateral approach to reduce and fix fractures using plates and screws, Unfortunately, this method has been associated with high rates of wound and steel plate complications. Similarly, it is still difficult for minimally invasive surgical methods to achieve effective reduction and internal fixation. Therefore, this article proposes a new method of lateral minimally invasive incision combined with percutaneous, screw-only fixation and the screws are individually knitted according to the type of fracture.Methods: Between October 2015 and October 2019, 31 patients who underwent the spatial weaving screw technique combined with minimally invasive were recruited. Any operative complication was recorded. The clinical results were evaluated based on pre-operative X-rays (axial and lateral calcaneus), CT and three-dimensional reconstruction, AOFAS, VAS during follow-up.Results: Bone healing was achieved in all patients, with an average healing time of 7.3±4.2ml weeks. No serious complications occurred after operation, no case of reduction failure or screw displacement were found. The evaluation of the posterior subtalar and calcaneocuboid articular surface respectively showed 80.6% and 90.3% cases got excellent and good reduction. The average AOFAS score was 89.5 at the end of 1 year after the operation, the mean VAS in our series was 2.4 at the last follow-up. Conclusion: Combined with minimally invasive screw spatial weaving technique, displaced Sanders type II and III can be successfully treated displaced Sanders type II and III fractures. The method allows for adequate reduction and effective fixation by screws. It also clearly avoids the major wound complication problems, improve the accuracy of reduction and implantation, simplify surgical procedure.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of the minimally invasive modified pedicle screw–rod fixator for unstable pelvic ring injuries, including its feasibility, merits, and limitations. Methods Twenty-three patients (13 males, 10 females; average age, 36.3 years) with unstable pelvic ring injuries underwent anterior fixation using a modified pedicle screw–rod fixator with or without posterior fixation using a transiliac internal fixator. The clinical findings were assessed using Majeed scores. The quality of reduction was evaluated using the Matta criteria. Results Clinical results at 1 year postoperatively were excellent in 14 patients, good in 7, and fair in 2. The two patients with fair results had intermittent pain at the sacroiliac joint because of the posterior implant. One woman complained of persistent pain at the pubic tubercle during sexual intercourse. Iatrogenic neuropraxia of the unilateral lateral femoral cutaneous nerve occurred in three patients. Unilateral femoral nerve palsy occurred in one patient. The quality of fracture reduction was excellent in 12 patients, good in 8, and fair in 3. Heterotopic ossification occurred in eight patients; all were asymptomatic. Conclusions Minimally invasive modified pedicle screw-rod fixation is an effective alternative treatment for pelvic ring injuries.

Composite Resin Restoration

Dental esthetic complex involves more than one caries with malformed shape and malposition. Dental trauma most commonly affects maxillary anterior teeth, and subsequently affects the esthetics, functions, and psychological well-being of the individual. Composite resins have become an integral part of contemporary restorative and minimally invasive dentistry. Objective: To summarize the successful use of direct composite resin restoration in the management of a 29-year old male patient. Case Report: A 29-year old male patient presenting with multiple secondary caries and crown fractures in the anterior maxillary teeth, resulting in an unaesthetic smile. Comprehensive esthetic dental treatment was carried out. The patient was highly satisfied with the results even after eleven months of follow-up. Conclusion: restorative success with composite resins, the dental treatment plan should be carefully executed with attention to factors such as dental convexities and contours, re‑establishment of function, and esthetics. Smile design should always be a multifactorial decision-making process that allows the clinician to treat patients with an individualized and interdisciplinary approach.

Caries Removal

This article presents a review of studies that have focused on the technology of minimally invasive caries removal, endodontic treatment, and dental restoration. Databases of Scopus, Web of Science, and MedLine were searched for relevant studies. With ongoing comprehensive investigation of various diseases, present-day medicine has changed from using a biomedical model to a biopsychosocial medical model, so increasing attention is being paid to the concept of minimally invasive treatment in dentistry. The concept of minimally invasive technology has given rise to a number of minimally invasive methods for the diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases. Taking into account the psychology, health status, function, and aesthetics of the patient, minimal intervention is required. Children, as a special group of patients, are in the period of the initial formation of their psychological structure. In this regard, the goal of dental treatment of children should not be limited to restoring functions and relieving pain; it is also worth paying attention to their development and physical and mental health. Therefore, in recent years, minimally invasive technology has gradually been used in the diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases in children.

The problem of choosing the method of surgical treatment of postnecrotic pancreatic cysts remains extremely urgent these days. With the development of technology, recently there has been a clear trend towards improving diagnostic capabilities and the emergence of an increasing number of minimally invasive methods of treatment, while traditional methods of surgical treatment do not lose their relevance, but recent studies optimize the indications for their implementation, which in turn reduces the frequency of the nearest and distant postoperative complications. In the article the questions concerning conservative therapy of postnecrotic cysts, indications and choice of a method of surgical treatment are considered. The methods of minimally invasive surgery are widely covered, the application of which allows achieving excellent clinical results of treatment. Particular attention is paid to the recent tendency of using several methods of minimally invasive treatment, the combination of minimally invasive internal and external drainage has shown its effectiveness, it should be noted that a good clinical result can be achieved by performing intervention data from the position of pathogenetic treatment. There are only a few data on the success of combined drainage of postnecrotic cysts, which requires confirmation by a large number of publications. Thus, the high incidence of acute pancreatitis, the lack of a diagnostic algorithm and clear indications for a wide range of existing methods of surgical treatment of postnecrotic pancreatic cysts leaves a field for subsequent studies and observations.
