“…14,15 This technique is advantageous in that only the softened tissue is removed, the cavity is prepared according to the shape of the lesion, anesthesia is normally unnecessary, electrical or hydraulic equipment is not required, and it has a low cost and decreases patient anxiety. 16 However, with this technique, there are some limitations related to the filling material: the restoration is difficult to polish, the restorative materials have a sub-optimal resistance to oral fluids, there is a risk of leakage and compound cavity fracture, and the esthetics are limited. Thus, to perform ART, cavities should present certain criteria, such as extension to the dentin, ability to be removed with a manual instrument, and lack of a history of pain, fistula or pulp exposure.…”

The aim of this study was to compare the clinical performance of root caries restorations after a six-month period using two methods, a conventional technique with rotary instruments and an atraumatic restorative technique (ART), in an institutionalized elderly population in the city of Bogotá, Colombia. Root caries represents a multifactorial, progressive, chronic lesion with softened, irregular and darkened tissue involving the radicular surface; it is highly prevalent in the elderly, especially in those who are physically or cognitively impaired. A quasi-experimental, double-blind, longitudinal study was carried out after cluster randomization of the sample. Two different experienced dentists, previously trained, performed the restorations using each technique. After six months, two new investigators performed a blind evaluation of the condition of the restorations. The results showed a significantly higher rate of success (92.9%) using the conventional technique (p < 0.03). However, we concluded that ART may have been the preferred technique in the study population because 81% of those restorations survived or were successful during the observation period.

With the increasing prevalence of root caries of varying complexity, clinicians will face challenges in deciding how best to manage such lesions. Non-operative caries control should be used whenever possible. In this paper factors that can affect success when restoring root caries are discussed. CPD/Clinical Relevance: The restorative management of root caries can be challenging. Careful attention to detail when restoring root carious lesions is essential to optimize treatment outcome.
