3. Faculty of Dental Science IMS BHU, Varanasi INTRODUCTION ART was introduced by Jo E. Frencken in 1996. ART is defined as minimally invasive care approach in preventive dental caries and stopping its further progression .

4. PRINCIPLES The two main principle of ART are : 1. Removing carious tooth tissues using hand instruments only 2. Restoring the cavity with a restorative material that sticks to the tooth. Faculty of Dental Science IMS BHU, Varanasi

5. INDICATIONS Faculty of Dental Science IMS BHU, Varanasi Only in small cavities (involving dentin) In those cavities that are accessible to hand instruments. Public health programs

6. CONTRAINDICATIONS Art should not be used when presence of swelling or fistula. The pulp of the tooth is exposed. Teeth have been painful for a long time (chronic pulpitis). There is an obvious carious cavity, but the opening is inaccessible to hand instruments. There are clear signs of a cavity, for example in a proximal surface, but the cavity cannot be entered from the proximal or the occlusal direction. Faculty of Dental Science IMS BHU, Varanasi

7. ADVANTAGES ART is a biological approach that requires minimal cavity preparation that conserves sound tooth tissues and causes less trauma to teeth. As ART is painless, the need for local anaesthetics are reduced and so is the psychological trauma to patients. Simplifies infection control as hand instruments can easily be cleaned and sterilized .

8. Continue… No electrically driven and expensive dental equipment is needed which enables ART to be practiced in remote area and in the field. This technique is simple enough to train non – dental personnel or primary health care workers. ART approach is very cost effective. Faculty of Dental Science IMS BHU, Varanasi

9. Continue… Faculty of Dental Science IMS BHU, Varanasi Since it is friendly procedure, there are great potentials for its use among children, fearful adults, physically and mentally handicapped and the elderly. It makes restorative care more accessible for all population groups.

16. CONCLUSION ART is a combined preventive and curative oral procedure, which must be administered along with health promoting messages about a prudent diet, good oral hygiene, use of fluoride toothpaste and sealant application. ART is not compromise but a perfect treatment approach for developing countries and special groups in the industrialized world. Faculty of Dental Science IMS BHU, Varanasi
