The main goal of children's dentistry is treatment that preserves the dentition, the periodontium and the oral cavity mucosa to ensure a fulfilling life. Today, this discipline is guided by two main principles capable of ensuring full health in the future. The first is to apply the biological approach to any disease. It is aimed at treating the reversible stages of oral diseases. Through it, in contrast to the imposed operative approach to dental caries and its complications, methods and means are used for real treatment, in which healing occurs, and not replacement of the affected structures with artificial ones. The body's natural defenses are stimulated to preserve the vitality of the dental pulp, the growth organ in teeth with incomplete root development, and ensure normal function. Any disease is diagnosed in its earliest stages, when the changes are reversible and the most biological methods of treatment are applied.
The second principle in pediatric dentistry is the minimally invasive approach. This approach is aimed at minimal operative intervention and taking into account the specifics of age. It requires a non-pharmacological influence on children's behavior in the dental office, minimal use of risky procedures, a gentle attitude towards the child's psyche, microinvasive preparation of cavities, minimal invasiveness in terms of diagnostics, to remove carious dentin, to stimulate the pulp, periapical structures and the periodontium .
