Abstract

The new Coronavirus has caused thousands of deaths around the globe, challenged professionals, and collapsed the health systems of many countries, resulting in various measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 and minimize the number of deaths. In the face of this new scenario, researchers and health authorities have been outlining clinical recommendations for dental practice during and after the pandemic. The objective of this paper is to relate the Minimal Intervention Dentistry (MID) with a dental practice of less exposure to aerosols, and, therefore, safer in the current context, after the pandemic of COVID-19. This study also discusses aspects related to bio safety in dentistry, including aerosol control, and lists some of the MID strategies. Bibliographical research was done in the MEDLINE (US National Library of Medicine -NLM) database accessed through Pub Med. The MID advocates the production of selfcare; it aims to control the health disease process, avoids the repetitive restorative cycle, reduces cost, preserves the healthy dental structure, and minimizes pain, all combined with the control of aerosol production.
