Abstract

Dental caries is a long-term, sugar-dependent condition. It deteriorates the quality of life and has negative effects on the oral cavity, including pain induction, tooth structural damage, cavity development and tooth decay. The traditional technique of treating dental caries often entails rotary burs, local anesthesia, electrical supply and skilled workers. The development of atraumatic restorative therapy (ART) was prompted by the need to treat dental caries in children and the impoverished in less developed nations with limited access to dental facilities and qualified practitioners. Atraumatic restorative treatment treats decaying teeth with manual excavation rather than local anesthesia, rotary burs or advanced dental equipment. A variety of adhesive materials, including glass ionomer cement are used in ART to reconstruct teeth.
