Study Notes
- The treatment is called Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART).
- ART prioritizes preserving tooth structure by using hand instruments instead of rotary tools.
- ART utilizes adhesive materials, primarily glass ionomer cement (GIC), for durable restorations.
Evolution of ART
- ART was developed in the 1980s in Tanzania by Dr.Jo Frencken as a solution for underserved communities.
- ART was designed for regions with limited dental facilities and resources.
- The World Health Organization (WHO) endorses ART as a public health strategy.
Considerations and Limitations
- ART is not suitable for large or complex cavities requiring extensive restoration.
- The longevity of ART restorations can vary depending on factors like patient care and cavity size.
- ART is most effective in specific clinical situations, such as small cavities in primary teeth.
ART in Practice
- ART is widely used in public health initiatives to address dental caries in underserved communities.
- ART is a preferred method for treating cavities in children, prioritizing comfort and minimal intervention.
- ART is used in geriatric dentistry.
- ART is a valuable tool for managing dental emergencies in field settings or disaster relief scenarios.
When ART is Appropriate
- Suitable for cavities accessible with hand instruments without the need for rotary tools.
- Effectively addresses cavities in primary teeth, ensuring healthy development.
- Ideal for community-based clinics and resource-limited areas.
Principles of ART
- Preserves as much tooth structure as possible for long-term dental health.
- Utilizes hand instruments for careful and precise removal of decayed tissue.
- Adhesive material releases fluoride, strengthening tooth enamel and preventing further decay.
Step-by-Step ART Procedure
- Using hand instruments, decayed tissue is carefully removed from the tooth.
- The cavity is thoroughly cleaned, ensuring a smooth and healthy surface.
- Optional step using a conditioner to enhance the bonding of GIC to the tooth.
- Glass ionomer cement is carefully placed into the cavity, restoring the tooth's shape.
- The restoration is shaped and polished for a smooth, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing finish.
Research and Success
- 90% Patient Satisfaction
- Studies show high levels of patient satisfaction with ART, indicating a positive experience.
- 80% Success Rates
- ART is effective in controlling dental caries in specific cases, contributing to overall dental health.
- Extensive research has been conducted to support the effectiveness and safety of ART.

Description
Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) is a method that preserves tooth structure using hand instruments and adhesive materials like glass ionomer cement (GIC). Developed in Tanzania in the 1980s, ART is endorsed by the WHO as a public health strategy. It is most effective for small cavities, especially in primary teeth, and is widely used in underserved communities.
