]Atraumatic Restorative Treatment; Quick Lesion Debridement & Caries Control
نویسنده
چکیده
(preface: Regardless of patient age, an important early step in managing caries ravaged teeth involves rapid lesion debridement and restoration, protecting the pulp and preventing caries progression. Interim therapeutic restorations (ITRs) in deciduous teeth, as well as sedative fillings in permanent teeth, can be placed quickly and inexpensively using the Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) technique. After more than 20 years of clinical use, ART remains under-utilized in early childhood caries (ECC), adolescent and adult caries management in the US. This article focuses on the evidence-based clinical protocol and material selection for successful ART restorations.)

The success of tooth restorations rendered according to principles of the Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) approach is dependant on various clinical factors. The most common failures, due to these factors, are partial material loss; complete material loss; caries related to restoration margin and material wear > 0.5mm. The main reason for clinical ART failures are related to operator skil...

Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) has become an evidence-based treatment in class I caries cavities for countries with developing dental infrastructure [1]. Though epidemiological data also demonstrate restorative treatment needs in anterior teeth in several African countries [2], scientific evidence for ART in this application appeared so far unrewarding [3]. Consequently, many carious te...

BACKGROUND The massive use of preventive measures in Mexico has resulted in a large decline in dental caries over the past two decades. There does however remain a largely unmet need for restorative treatment. This paper describes the steps leading up to the adoption of a strategy, as part of general health policy, to use Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) within the Mexican public health s...
