Comparative Long-Term Clinical Performance of Atraumatic Restorative Treatment Versus Conventional Composite Restorations in Carious Primary Molars: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study

ART using high-viscosity glass ionomer cement provided superior long-term clinical performance compared to conventional composite restoration in primary molars. Its minimally invasive nature, reliability across diverse clinical conditions, and independence from advanced equipment make ART a preferred option in pediatric dentistry, especially for young children and in resource-limited settings.

Abstract

ART using high-viscosity glass ionomer cement provided superior long-term clinical performance compared to conventional composite restoration in primary molars. Its minimally invasive nature, reliability across diverse clinical conditions, and independence from advanced equipment make ART a preferred option in pediatric dentistry, especially for young children and in resource-limited settings.
