Caries Removal

Objective: To compare the effect of Papacarie and Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) on pain and discomfort during caries removal among children. Study Design: Fifty healthy, 4–8 year-old children were equally and randomly allocated to Papacarie and ART to remove caries from decayed primary teeth. A randomized, controlled, blinded, two parallel-arms clinical trial was conducted in the clinic of the Pediatric Dentistry and Dental Public Health Department, Alexandria University, Egypt in March 2014. Pain and discomfort were assessed blindly by two independent investigators watching videotaped treatment sessions using the Sound, Eye and Motor scale (SEM). Their reliability was assessed using Kappa statistics. The effect of caries removal methods, time spent to remove caries and other confounders on SEM score was assessed using regression analysis. Results: Mean time to remove caries using Papacarie and ART was 5.8 and 4.8 minutes, P= 0.005. Median Paparie and ART scores for the S, E and M components were 1, 1, 1 and 3, 2, 3. Adjusted mean SEM score= 3.6 and 7.8, P <0.0001. Method of caries removal was the only factor significantly affecting pain and discomfort. Conclusion: Papacarie is associated with minimal pain during caries removal from primary teeth compared to ART, although it has longer working time.

Restorative Treatment

Resumo: A cárie dentária é uma doença com alta prevalência mundial, sendo considerada um problema de saúde pública, com terapias de tratamento bastante diversificadas. O Tratamento Restaurador Atraumático é muito vantajoso frente à outras terapias para lesões cariosas, por se tratar de uma técnica simples, de baixo custo e efetiva.  Objetivo: Abordar, por meio de uma revisão de literatura, aspectos sobre a utilização da técnica do Tratamento Restaurador Atraumático em Odontopediatria. Metodologia: A pesquisa bibliográfica foi realizada via online, utilizando a ferramenta de busca Google e outras três bases de dado eletrônicas Pubmed e Lilacs.  A estratégia de busca incluiu as seguintes palavras-chave: “Pediatric Dentistry AND Atraumatic Restorative Treatment”. Foram incluídos artigos em português, inglês e espanhol, sem restrição de data da publicação. Foram excluídas cartas ao editor e editoriais. Considerações finais: O Tratamento Restaurador Atraumático é um componente da Odontologia de Mínima Intervenção de amplo alcance social, que atua na prevenção da cárie dentária e na paralisação da sua progressão. Trata-se de uma proposta alternativa efetiva para o tratamento e controle da doença cárie, principalmente em ambientes onde o tratamento convencional torna-se inviável, devido à falta de infraestrutura necessária e de recursos econômicos. Esta abordagem de mínima intervenção é especialmente importante em Odontopediatria, uma vez que há redução do tempo de atendimento clínico, o que gera menores níveis de ansiedade e menos dor em crianças, exercendo um impacto positivo na qualidade de vida das crianças e suas famílias.

A survey was sent to 70 Brazilian dental schools evaluating techniques and restorative materials being taught for Class I and II preparation in posterior primary teeth by Pediatric Dentistry courses. After a 54% response rate, marked teaching diversity was found among Brazilian dental schools. Amalgam continues to be taught, but a tendency of preference towards more esthetic-like materials was observed.

Minimal Intervention Dentistry (MID) is an effective treatment approach with increasing acceptance among dental professionals. Objective – This study aimed to evaluate the MID impact on Dentistry by analyzing procedures performed on patients treated at a Pediatric Dentistry Graduate Program clinic which implemented MID. Study design – The number of procedures including sealants, modified atraumatic restorative treatment (mART), resin crowns, direct pulp capping, pulpotomy, pulpectomy, and deciduous/ permanent extractions from 333 pediatric patients treated between the years 2001 to 2003 and 2008 to 2010 in Distrito Federal, Brazil were analyzed. Statistical analysis involved chi-square and G Williams tests. Results – 783 procedures were analyzed and demonstrated that there was a significant reduction of sealant placement in the last triennium when compared to the first one (p<0.0001). Moreover, there was a significant increase in the amount of mART (p<0.0001). This increase in mART procedures resulted in a significant reduction in procedures with pulp involvement: direct pulp capping (p=0.0014), pulpotomy (p=0.0014) and pulpectomy (p=0.0002). Conclusions – Based on the results, MID represented a positive impact on the intervention on caries lesions in patients, mainly reflected by the significant reduction in the number of direct pulp capping, pulpotomy and pulpectomy.

Over the past few years, there has been an increase in the number of studies reporting on various aspects of the Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) approach. Five randomized clinical trials in which ART restorations with glass ionomers were compared with amalgam restorations in permanent teeth for a maximum period of 3 yrs constituted the database. This meta-analysis divided the publications into ‘early’ (1987–1992) and ‘late’ (1995-) studies on the basis of improvements in the approach. The analysis showed that, in the ‘early’ studies, single-surface amalgam restorations survived statistically significantly longer than comparable ART restorations after 1, 2, and 3 yrs. This trend did not continue into the late group of studies; no statistically significant difference between the 2 types of restorations was found. Based on the available data, it appears that there is no difference in survival results between single-surface ART restorations and amalgam restorations in permanent teeth over the first 3 yrs.
