    (Assoc Dental Sci Republic China, 2009) Ercan, Ertugrul; Dulgergil, Coruh Turksel; Dalli, Mehmet; Yildirim, Isil; Ince, Bayram; Colak, Hakan
    Background/purpose: This 3-year field trial was performed to compare the effectiveness of high-viscosity atraumatic restorative treatment with glass ionomer sealant (ART-GIS) on the development of caries in a population of children living in two distinct localities in Diyarbakir City in southeastern Anatolia, Turkey. One of these was a suburban district with tow socioeconomic conditions and tacked routine dental care, and the other was located in the city center and had a moderate socioeconomic status with proximity to a welt-designed dental center. Materials and methods: Two primary schools were selected as study sites in these two locations. In total, 368 ART-GIS procedures were performed on 208 children aged 9-11 years, white 174 children who were students at another school in the center of the same city did not receive the sealant and served as controls. The clinical status of the ART-GIS was evaluated at the baseline and during the first, second and third years after placement. Differences between the two groups for each evaluation period were analyzed using Student's t test for the two independent groups. Results: The control group had nearly ten, five and three times greater numbers of new caries than did the ART group during the first, second and third years, respectively. The difference between the groups was statistically significant for each examination period with respect to the number of children having new caries (Student's t test, P < 0.001), and new caries occurrence (Student's t test, P < 0.001). Conclusion: These results clearly show that the ART-GIS procedure can be used as a preventive method in rural and/or suburban areas where other preventive approaches are neither available nor economical.

    A FIELD-TRIAL OF TWO RESTORATIVE MATERIALS USED WITH ATRAUMATIC RESTORATIVE TREATMENT IN RURAL TURKEY: 24-MONTH RESULTS
    (Univ Sao Paulo Fac Odontologia Bauru, 2009) Ercan, Ertugrul; Dulgergil, C. Turksel; Soyman, Muebin; Dalli, Mehmet; Yildirim, Isil
    Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical performance of high-strength glass ionomer cement (HSGIC) and resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGIC) in single and multiple surface carious cavities in the field conditions. Material and Methods: A split-mouth design, including ninety-one fillings placed on contra lateral molar pairs of 37 children, was used in permanent dentition. As filling materials, a HSGIC (Ketac Molar/3M ESPE) and a RMGIC (Vitremer/3M ESPE) were used with the Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART). Baseline and 6, 12 and 24-month evaluations of the fillings were made with standard-ART and USPHS criteria by two examiners with kappa values of 0.92 and 0.87 for both criteria. Results: According to the USPHS criteria, the retention rates of RMGIC and HSGIC restorations were 100% and 80.9% for single surface, and 100% and 41.2% for multiple surface restorations after 24 months, respectively. Irrespective of surface number, RMGIC was significantly superior to HSGIC (p=0.004), according to both standard-ART and USPHS criteria. Conclusion: The results indicate that RMGIC may be an alternative restorative technique in comparison to high-strength GIC applications in ART-field-trials. However, further clinical and field trials are needed to support this conclusion.
