GDC ART Atraumatic Restorative Treatment Instruments

GDC ART Atraumatic Restorative Treatment Instruments Atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) is an alternative treatment for dental caries used to remove demineralized outer carious dentin with hand instruments only. Therefore, no electricity or anesthesia is required and pain, usually experienced in conventional cavity preparation, is kept to a minimum. GDC ART instruments are excellent choices for removing carious tooth structure and carving the restorations during the restorative procedure and hence conserving tooth structure. The cavity is filled and adjacent enamel fissures are sealed with conventional self-hardening glass ionomer restorative cement.
