Objective The aim of the present study is to update the results of two previous meta-analyses, published in 2006 and 2012, on the survival percentages of atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) restorations and ART sealants. The current meta-analysis includes Chinese publications not investigated before. Materials and methods Until February 2017, s...
Article
Objectives: When planning primary oral health care services the cost implications of adopting new intervention practices are important, especially in resource-strapped countries. Although on a trajectory to be phased-out, amalgam remains the standard of care in many countries. Methods: Adopting a government perspective, this study compared the c...

Mw. M. Mijan will defend her PhD thesis on 15th September 2017. Whilst reviewing her work in preparation to the event, we discovered a few irregularities that prompted a recheck of the database and ditto analyses. These activities have lead to a few textual changes in the publication. On behalf of the authors I apologise for these omissions. Abstra...
Article
We conducted a 3-year cost-effectiveness analysis on the cavitated dentine carious lesion preventive capabilities of composite resin (CR) (reference group) and atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) high-viscosity glass-ionomer cement (HVGIC) sealants compared to supervised toothbrushing (STB) in high-risk first permanent molars. School children ag...
Article
Background: Failed restorations in primary teeth are not always re-restored. Is re-restoration not required anymore? Objective: To compare survival rates of primary molars with intact and defective amalgam and ART restorations. Methods: A total of 649 restored primary molars, of which 162 were assessed with defective restorations for mechanica...
Article
Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate the exfoliation pattern of primary molars treated according to three treatment protocols. The hypothesis tested was that there is no difference in the exfoliation pattern of primary molars treated according to conventional restorative treatment using amalgam (CRT), atraumatic restorative treatment usin...
Article
Objectives. To assess and compare the cumulative survival rate of amalgam and atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) restorations in primary molars over 3 years. Methods. 280 children aged 6–7 years old were enrolled in a cluster randomized controlled clinical trial using a parallel group design covering two treatment groups: conventional restorati...
Article
Full-text available
This study aimed to test the hypothesis that there is no difference in the survival rates of molars treated according to the conventional restorative treatment (CRT) using amalgam, atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) using high-viscosity glass ionomer, and ultraconservative treatment (UCT) protocol after 3.5 years. Cavitated primary molars were...
Article
Full-text available
Objectives The aims of this study were to compare 2-year cumulative survival rates of amalgam and atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) restorations in primary molars and to investigate the determinants of the survival rate of restorations. Materials and methods A controlled clinical trial using a parallel group design was carried out on 258 child...
Article
Full-text available
Disadvantaged children suffer because tooth cavities are not being treated and their clinical consequences not being surveyed. The present study aimed to assess the prevalence and severity of clinical consequences of untreated dentine carious lesions in schoolchildren from a deprived area of Brazil and to investigate the determinants of the pufa in...
Article
Full-text available
Serious difficulties in reporting results were encountered when using ICDAS II and PUFA separately in an epidemiological survey in a child population in Brazil. That necessitated the development of a comprehensive but pragmatic caries assessment index. This publication describes the rationale, development and content of a novel caries assessment in...
Article
Full-text available
Unlabelled: The purpose of this study is to perform a systematic investigation plus meta-analysis into survival of atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) sealants and restorations using high-viscosity glass ionomers and to compare the results with those from the 2005 ART meta-analysis. Until February 2010, four databases were searched. Two hundred...
Article
Full-text available
The aim of the present study was to assess the caries experience of children aged 6 to 7 years old in a socially deprived suburban area of Brazil's Federal District, using the ICDAS II system and to investigate determinants of dental caries. The survey was carried out in six public schools by three calibrated examiners, on a sample of 835 children....
Article
Plaque control and caries arrest still remain a challenge for dentists. This study was conducted to assess the effect of the combined use of chlorhexidine varnish and fluoride varnish on the visible plaque index (VPI) and white spot lesion (WS) remineralization in primary dentition. A total of 80 caries-active preschool children (3-5 years) were ra...
