Description
The IADR Minimally Invasive Dentistry (MID) Network administers this research award to enhance awareness of MID concepts in clinical dentistry and promote the quality of science at the IADR General Session. Sponsored by SDI Germany GmbH, it recognizes researchers contributing innovative strategies to minimally invasive dentistry and optimum patient care.
MID embraces all aspects of clinical dentistry, with hard and soft tissue preservation as its ultimate aim. Relevant research addresses early disease detection, prevention, and interception of disease progression. When tissue removal is necessary, MID calls for the most conservative approach possible within a holistic perspective. The competition evaluates research abstracts and oral presentations, with winners acknowledged at the MID Network Business Meeting.
