TAVARES, Bárbara Souza et al. Use of syringes for insertion in ART: randomized clinical trial. Rev. Assoc. Paul. Cir. Dent. [online]. 2015, vol.69, n.1, pp. 56-61. ISSN 0004-5276.

ART is considered one of the minimally invasive operative approaches in the concept of Minimal Intervention Dentistry, once it involves the removal of soft dentin with hand instruments, followed by filling the cavity with a high viscous glass ionomer cement. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of insertion technique on the success rate of proximal atraumatic restorative restorations in primary teeth. The sample comprised of 90 children with ages ranging from 6 to 10 (mean age 8.7±1.51 years). A total of 90 ART restorations were placed by one trained dentist according to World Health Organization (WHO) manual. The restorative material used was a high-viscosity glass-ionomer (KetacTM Molar Easy Mix, 3M ESPE) which was placed into the cavities in a using an insertion spatula (G1); a Centrix syringe injector and Accudose needle (G2); and a modified syringe (G3). The restorations were assessed 6 and 12 months after placement by two calibrated examiners (Kappa=0.74), through standard photographs, according Roeleveld et al. (2006) criteria. The chi-square test was used to evaluate differences between the insertion techniques and the periods tested. There was no difference between the insertion techniques tested, over the two periods evaluated, considering the clinical criteria for success/ failure. It was concluded that using alternative insertion methods of glass ionomer cement did not improve success rate of proximal atraumatic restorative restorations in primary teeth.
