“…Since its inception, this technique has been improved by the development of high-viscosity glass-ionomer cement (HVGIC), and its indication has expanded considerably [2, 3]. Clinical investigations conducted with children and adolescents assure reliable clinical performance of ART restorations for a 3-year period [4, 5].…”

This study evaluated the 10-year clinical performance of high-viscosity glass-ionomer cement placed in posterior permanent teeth by means of the Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) approach. One operator placed 167 single- and 107 multiple-surface restorations in 43 high-risk caries pregnant women (mean decayed teeth = 9.8 ± 5.5). Examinations were performed at 1-, 2-, and 10-year intervals according to ART criteria. In the last evaluation, the US Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria were also used. After 10 years, 129 restorations (47.1%) were evaluated and achieved a cumulative survival rate of 49.0% (SE 7.2%). The 10-year survival of single- and multiple-surface ART restorations assessed using the ART criteria were 65.2% (SE 7.3%) and 30.6% (SE 9.9%), respectively. This difference was significant (jackknife SE of difference; p < 0.05). Using the USPHS criteria, the 10-year survival of single- and multiple-surface ART restorations were 86.5% and 57.6%, respectively. The primary causes of failure were total loss (9.3%) and marginal defects (5.4%). The survival rates observed, especially for the single-surface restorations, confirm the potential of the ART approach for restoring and saving posterior permanent teeth.

“…Sendo assim, o cimento de ionômero de vidro é evidenciado na técnica do Tratamento Restaurador Atraumático como material clínico adequado e de excelência, tornando assim, a fase restauradora mais simples, eficaz e rápida. Os cimentos de ionômero de vidro indicados para o ART são menos sensíveis à umidade e apresentam tempo total de trabalho de aproximadamente dois minutos e vinte segundos 6,18 . Um grande número de profissionais ainda utiliza o cimento de ionômero de vidro convencional no serviço público (76,9%), já entre os entrevistados que trabalham em ambos os serviços o mais utilizado é o de presa rápida, correspondendo a 59,1% dos entrevistados.…”

Objetivo: Verificar o conhecimento dos cirurgiões-dentistas do serviço público e privado da cidade de Caruaru/PE sobre o Tratamento Restaurador Atraumático (ART), bem como avaliar a aceitação e utilização da técnica entre estes profissionais. Método: A amostra foi composta por 122 profissionais que responderam a um formulário contendo 18 questões relativas à técnica do ART. Os dados foramanalisados por meio do SAS, sendo empregados os testes do Qui-quadrado de Pearson ou o Teste Exato de Fisher. O nível de significância utilizado foi de 5,0%. Resultados: Verificou-se que o maior percentual de pesquisados correspondeu aos que tinham até 10 anos de formado (43,4%), trabalhavam somente em Serviço Privado (50,8%) e em Serviço Público (30,3%). A maioria dos profissionais tinha conhecimento do ART (89,3%) e já o realizou (63,3%) principalmente os pesquisados do Serviço Público (74,3%) embora, 20% dos entrevistados não souberam como realizar a técnica (p<0,05). As principais indicações do ART foram para dentes decíduos (85,5%) e para crianças com problemas de comportamento (82,6%), esta com diferença significativa de acordo com o local de trabalho. O cimento de ionômero de vidro de presa rápida foi mais utilizado no serviço privado (p<0,05). As principais vantagens da técnica foram dispensar o uso da anestesia, impedir a progressão da doença e a boa aceitação do paciente (p<0,05); a desvantagem mais citada pelos pesquisados foi baixa resistência à fratura (p<0,05). Conclusões: O conhecimento limitado e a falta de preparo técnicocientífico dos profissionais dificultam a utilização do ART. Os profissionais do serviço público são os que mais utilizam a técnica. No serviço particular é pouco empregada e a maioria dos profissionais não acredita na sua efetividade. Saúde pública; Cárie dentária; Odontologia, métodos. Objective: To assess the knowledge of the Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) of public and private practice dentists from the city of Caruaru, PE, Brazil, as well as to evaluate the acceptance and use of this technique by the professionals. Method: One-hundred-and-twenty-two professionals were interviewed using a standard form containing 18 questions referring to ART and their opinion about its use. Results: Most interviewed professionals had graduated up to 10 years before the study (43.4%), and worked exclusively in private dental offices (50.8%) or public health services (30.3%). The greatest majority of professionals (89.3%) affirmed to be familiar with the ART and 63.3% of them used this technique, mainly those working in public health services (74.3%). However, 20% of the interviewed professionals affirmed not to know how to perform the technique (p<0.05). The main indications for ART were for primary teeth (85.5%) and for children with behavioral problems (82.6%), the last being significantly different depending on the working site. Fast-setting glass ionomer cements were more frequently used in private practice (p<0.05). The main advantages of the technique were mentioned as being: no need of anesthes...

“…Critics to the ART approach argue that in spite of the positive results in research carried out into the use of the ART approach in clinical trials 9 – 11 , 14 , 16 , 20 , 36 , 38 , many dental institutions in Brazil do not include this approach in their curricula . There is, however, no reliable information about the teaching of the ART approach in Brazil with respect to the theory, its laboratory and clinical teaching.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the teaching of the Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) approach in Brazilian dental schools. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire on this subject was sent to Pediatric Dentistry, Operative Dentistry and Public Health Dentistry professors. The questions approached the followig subjects: the method used to teach ART, the time spent on its teaching, under which discipline it is taught, for how many years ART has been taught and its effect on the DMFT index. Results: A total of 70 out of 202 dental schools returned the questionnaire. The ART approach is taught in the majority of the Brazilian dental schools (96.3%), and in most of these schools it is taught both in theory and in clinical practice (62.9%). The majority (35.3%) of professors teach ART for 8 hours, and most often as part of the Pediatric Dentistry discipline (67.6%). It has been taught for the last 7 to 10 years in 34.3% of dental schools. Most professors did not observe a change in the DMFT index with this approach. There is a diversity in the teaching of ART in Brazil in terms of the number of hours spent, the teaching method (theory and practice), and the disciplines involved in its teaching. Conclusions: It is necessary to address the training of professors in the ART approach for the whole country. An educational model is proposed whereby a standard ART module features as part of other preventive and restorative caries care educational modules. This will facilitate and standardize the introduction and adoption of the ART approach in undergraduate education in Brazil.
