The atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) approach for the management of dental caries.

There is worldwide interest in and increasing usage of the conservative atraumatic restorative treatment technique or approach for the restoration of primary and permanent teeth. However, most published data on the clinical performance of the newer, high-strength esthetic conventional glass-ionomer restorative cements marketed for the procedure have been derived from short-term studies. There have been very few reports comparing different types of restorative materials and methods of cavity preparation. In primary teeth, after 1 year, success rates have been approximately 80% to 95% for Class I and Class V single-surface restorations, 55% to 75% for Class II multisurface restorations, and 35% to 55% for Class III and Class IV restorations. In permanent teeth, after 2 to 3 years, success rates have been approximately 90% for Class I and Class V single-surface restorations, but little data have been reported for other restoration classes. Failures usually result from restoration losses, fractures, and wear. Further improvements in the design of hand instruments and in the mechanical properties of the newer glass-ionomer cements are required. Currently, use of the atraumatic restorative treatment approach should be restricted to restoration of single-surface caries lesions, especially in permanent teeth, and to sealing of occlusal fissures in selected teeth.     

A review of atraumatic restorative treatment (ART)

The purpose of this paper was to critically analyse the results obtained with the Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) technique. The ART approach involves the excavation of cavitated carious lesions with hand instruments and restoration of the cavities and associated pits and fissures with a glass ionomer restorative material. The clinical trial outcomes involving ART include retention rates, cost effectiveness, operative sensitivity, and the effect of personnel with different educational backgrounds involved in this alternative operative treatment. Comparative studies involving permanent and deciduous teeth using amalgam and glass ionomer sealants have also been included in the same projects. Specially defined clinical criteria have been used to evaluate the results. ART offers an opportunity for restorative dental treatment under field conditions where no electricity is available. Three-year data have been published, but long term studies using relevant comparison alternatives are lacking. ART has so far been largely employed on populations with a low DMFT. The technique should also be applied to high risk patients with rampant caries before the maximal benefit of the treatment can be ascertained.     

The atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) approach for managing dental caries: a meta-analysis

The number of publications reporting on the survival of ART sealants and ART restorations has increased considerably in recent years. A systematic investigation of their longevity is therefore warranted. Based on three exclusion criteria, a literature search in the electronic libraries Pubmed and Medline revealed 28 eligible publications for inclusion in a meta-analysis. High mean survival rates for single-surface ART restorations using high-viscosity glass-ionomer in primary dentitions over 3 years were found (95% after 1 year to 86% after 3 years). These rates were statistically significantly higher than for those of multiple-surface ART restorations in primary dentitions (p<0.0001). High mean survival rates for single-surface ART restorations using high-viscosity glass-ionomer in permanent dentitions over 6 years were found (97% after 1 year to 72% after 6 years). The mean annual failure rates for single-surface ART restorations using high-viscosity glass-ionomer in primary and permanent dentitions and for multiple-surface ART restorations in primary dentitions are 4.7%, 4.7% and 17%, respectively. The number of studies reporting on the retention and caries preventive effect of ART sealants was low. It is concluded that single-surface ART restorations using high-viscosity glass-ionomer in both primary and permanent dentitions show high survival rates. Medium-viscosity glass-ionomer should not be used for ART restorations.     

Waviness of atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) prepared surfaces.

INTRODUCTION: The wave (W) element offers a surface topography assessment method with the potential to yield unique data. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: This study uses glass ionomer cement specimens prepared with six Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) surface treatments to explore arc- and line-modified waviness of these surfaces to determine if they gave similar results. METHODS: Six specimens (5 x 1.5mm) were prepared for each of the six surface treatments: (1) surface compressed with a Vaseline lubricated finger (Va); (2) Va followed by carving with an excavator(Ca); (3) Ca burnished with a ball burnisher (Bu); (4) surface compressed with the gloved finger lubricated with poly-acrylic acid (Aa); (5) surface cured against a Mylar strip (My); (6) My polished with a white rubber sulcus wheel (Po). After storage in distilled water for seven days at 37 degrees C W(a), W(v), W(p), W(t) was analysed using arc- and line-modifications of the raw profile. The data were analysed using a General Linear Models analysis and Tukey's Studentised range test with P < 0.05. RESULTS: Ca and Bu; Va and Aa; and My and Po formed three groups with descending ranking order for W whether arc- or line-modified. Arc-modified tracing data was unable to statistically distinguish between surface treatments whereas line-modification showed significant differences between treatments for all parameters measured (W(a), W(v0, W(p), W(t)). CONCLUSIONS: Line-modified waviness data was better able to distinguish between surface treatments than arc-modification. Wave offers unique surface topography data having potential value to dental materials researchers.

Selection of restorative materials for the atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) approach: a review

The atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) technique or approach for the restoration of primary and permanent teeth has been widely adopted in, but not limited to, developing countries. However, the requirement for the placement of the restorative materials under often less-than-ideal conditions imposes significant restrictions on their selection; and there have been very few randomized clinical trials or reports comparing different types of restorative materials and treatments. Although conventional glass-ionomer cements (GICs) have relatively poor mechanical and adhesive strengths, their satisfactory biological features, ease of use, and low costs are distinct advantages. Most of the published reports of the clinical performance of the newer, high-strength esthetic conventional GICs specifically marketed for the ART approach have been from short-term studies. Satisfactory clinical performance has been demonstrated for single-surface posterior restorations only, over three years. Findings indicate that further improvements in restorative materials are still required for their use with the ART approach, together with further clinical investigations of the remineralization of shallow open caries lesions, as an alternative to placing definitive restorations.     

Twenty-five-year atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) approach: a comprehensive overview

Background

The atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) approach was born 25?years ago in Tanzania. It has evolved into an essential caries management concept for improving quality and access to oral care globally.

Results

Meta-analyses and systematic reviews have indicated that the high effectiveness of ART sealants using high-viscosity glass ionomers in carious lesion development prevention is not different from that of resin fissure sealants. ART using high-viscosity glass ionomer can safely be used to restore single-surface cavities both in primary and in permanent posterior teeth, but its quality in restoring multiple surfaces in primary posterior teeth cavities needs to be improved. Insufficient information is available regarding the quality of ART restorations in multiple surfaces in permanent anterior and posterior teeth. There appears to be no difference in the survival of single-surface high-viscosity glass-ionomer ART restorations and amalgam restorations.

Discussion

The use of ART results in smaller cavities and in high acceptance of preventive and restorative care by children. Because local anaesthesia is seldom needed and only hand instruments are used, ART is considered to be a promising approach for treating children suffering from early childhood caries. ART has been implemented in the public oral health services of a number of countries, and clearly, proper implementation requires the availability of sufficient stocks of good high-viscosity glass ionomers and sets of ART instruments right from the start. Textbooks including chapters on ART are available, and the concept is being included in graduate courses at dental schools in a number of countries. Recent development and testing of e-learning modules for distance learning has increasingly facilitated the distribution of ART information amongst professionals, thus enabling more people to benefit from ART. However, this development and further research require adequate funding, which is not always easily obtainable. The next major challenge is the continuation of care to the frail elderly, in which ART may play a part.

Conclusion

ART, as part of the Basic Package of Oral Care, is an important cornerstone for the development of global oral health and alleviating inequality in oral care.
