The S.M.A.R.T (Minimal Intervention Restorative Technique) technique represents a paradigm shift
in modern dentistry, focusing on preserving the maximum amount of natural tooth structure while
minimizing patient discomfort and the need for anesthesia. This technique aims to offer an
alternative to conventional restorative procedures that often involve extensive drilling and
anesthesia. While traditional methods are well-established for their efficacy, particularly in cases
involving significant tooth decay, the S.M.A.R.T technique has demonstrated promising results for
early-stage decay and preventive treatment.
