Survival of ART restorations assessed using selected FDI and modified ART restoration criteria

Abstract

A new set of criteria for assessing the quality of restorations using modern restorative materials, named FDI criteria, was recently introduced. This study tested the null hypothesis that there is no significant difference in survival estimate percentages of ART restorations assessed using selected FDI and modified ART criteria after 1 and 5 years. One operator placed a total of 60 class I and 30 Class II high-viscosity glass-ionomer ART restorations in ninety 14- to15-year-olds. Two calibrated and independent evaluators using both criteria evaluated restorations on diestone replicas at baseline and after 1 and 5 years. Statistical analyses were done using the Kaplan–Meier method and log-rank test. The survival results of ART restorations assessed using both sets of criteria after 1 and 5 years (p = 0.27) did not differ significantly. Three ART restorations were assessed as failures according to the ART criteria, while they were assessed as survived using the FDI criteria. We conclude that the modified ART criteria enable reliable assessment of ART restorations in permanent teeth from diestone replicas and that there was no significant difference in survival estimates of ART restorations assessed using both sets of criteria. The null hypothesis was accepted.

The use of FDI criteria in clinical trials on direct dental restorations: A scoping review

“…The most employed criteria were: marginal adaptation (criterion 6; 29 studies, i.e. 96.7% of the studies) [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38], staining (criterion 2; 27 studies, i.e. 90.0% of the studies) [9-18, 20-23, 25-30, 32-38], fracture of material and retention (criterion 5;…”

“…Many other studies evaluated the performance of various adhesive types (etch and rinse, self-etch or universal) [27,30,33] and/or the procedure (with EDTA conditioning) [28] and/or the indications (for non-carious cervical lesions) [12,15,17,38]. Finally, other materials and techniques, such as the GIC [24] or the atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) technique were examined [19].…”

Clinical aspects of Atraumatic Restorative Treatment

“…Hieruit is onder andere gebleken dat de buigweerstand gering is. Dit zou een verklaring kunnen zijn voor het feit dat relatief veel restauraties verloren gaan door fractuur, vooral meervlaksrestauraties in tijdelijke gebitselementen (Xie et al, 2000;Bonifácio et al, 2009 (Farag et al, 2011).…”

Avaliação clínica e ex vivo de molares decíduos submetidos a diferentes protocolos terapêuticos no manejo da cárie dentária

“…Um dos principais objetivos de sua criação foi sua replicabilidade com o intuito de facilitar comparações de performances clínicas da nova abordagem, principalmente no tocante à sobrevida das restaurações, sendo um critério mais simplificado quando comparado aos anteriores (36,66).…”

“…36 Esta classificação traz uma dificuldade quanto ao estudo de microfraturas marginais das restaurações, uma vez que o código 1 pressupõe sua existência na interface dente-restauração, visível clinicamente. Diante disso, um questionamento surge acerca da real interferência da presença de microfraturas marginais e do sucesso clínico de tratamentos restauradores.…”
