Atraumatic Restorative Treatment ART
This document provides an outline and overview of Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART). It defines ART as a caries removal and restoration technique that does not require water or electricity. Key points:
- ART involves manually removing decayed tissue with hand instruments until maximum decay is removed. A highly dense glass ionomer cement then seals the cavity.
- ART was developed as an alternative for outreach situations but is now commonly used in private dental offices worldwide. It uses only a few basic hand instruments and is less technique sensitive than traditional drills.
- Advantages include being non-invasive, low-cost, and effective for treating root caries, medically compromised patients, and fearful children. Long
Simplified and modified atraumatic restorative treatment
SMART (Simplified and Modified Atraumatic Restorative Treatment) is a restorative technique that uses only hand instruments to remove decay and fill cavities with glass ionomer cement. It is gentle on fearful patients and children as it does not require injections or drills. Glass ionomer is used because it bonds to tooth structure and releases fluoride. The SMART technique involves using spoons and hatchets to remove decay, conditioning and cleaning the cavity, and pressing glass ionomer into the cavity using a finger. Glass ionomer can also be used as a pit and fissure sealant by applying it into grooves after conditioning and washing the area.

Pit and fissure sealant
Thank you for the detailed information on dental sealants. Let me know if you need any clarification or have additional questions.
Pit and fissure sealants
1. Pit and fissure sealants are materials placed in the pits and fissures of teeth to prevent decay by creating a physical barrier over the areas where bacteria can become trapped.
2. They are most effective when applied to the permanent first molars of children around ages 6-7 and the permanent second molars around ages 12-14, as over 90% of childhood caries occurs in the pits and fissures.
3. The standard application procedure involves isolating the tooth, cleaning it, etching the enamel with phosphoric acid for 20 seconds, rinsing and drying it, applying the sealant, and curing it with a light or chemical cure to harden it in place

This document discusses different types of restorations for class III cavities in incisors and cuspids, as well as restorations for proximal-incisal caries in primary anterior teeth. It describes dovetail cavities placed on the lingual of maxillary cuspids and facial of mandibular cuspids. Various restoration options are outlined, including esthetic resin, stainless steel crowns, composite strip crowns, open-face steel crowns, and pre-fabricated anterior stainless steel crowns. Guidelines for pulp protection when cavity preparation is deeper than 1mm into dentin are also provided.
Iceberg of disease
This document discusses concepts related to disease prevention, including the iceberg of disease model and levels of prevention. It explains that the iceberg model represents undiagnosed cases below the waterline and clinical cases above. It also outlines the goals of disease control as reducing incidence, duration, and complications. Finally, it describes the three levels of prevention - primary, secondary, and tertiary - including their goals and examples of interventions.
Pits and fissure
Pits and fissure sealants are materials applied to tooth surfaces to prevent decay by filling pits and grooves where plaque can accumulate. They are needed because the morphology of teeth makes fissures prone to decay, acting as natural food traps. There are several generations of sealants from chemically cured to light cured varieties containing fluoride. Application involves isolating the tooth, etching with acid to increase surface area, rinsing and drying before applying the sealant and curing it with light for 20 seconds. Sealants must be checked periodically as moisture contamination can cause early failure.
Occupational hazards in dentistry
Dentists are exposed to a variety of occupational hazards including biological, physical, chemical, ergonomic and radiation hazards. Biological hazards include exposure to infectious diseases from patients through direct or indirect contact with bodily fluids. Physical hazards include injuries from sharp instruments. Chemical hazards stem from exposure to substances like mercury and latex. Prolonged awkward postures and repetitive motions can cause musculoskeletal disorders. Radiation exposure occurs from dental X-rays. Proper precautions like barriers, hygiene protocols, protective equipment, ergonomic practices and radiation monitoring can help prevent or minimize these occupational hazards for dentists.
school-dental-health-programme-pedo
School dental health programs aim to improve children's oral health through education, prevention, and treatment services directly in schools. The key aspects of such programs include conducting dental inspections and health education, providing preventive interventions like fluoride varnish and sealants, and making referrals for treatment when needed. Evaluations show such programs can reduce dental caries by 20-30% through approaches like water fluoridation, fluoride tablets, and toothbrushing programs in schools. The community benefits from improving children's oral health as it helps establish healthy habits that can last a lifetime.
pits and fissure sealants dental material
This document discusses pits and fissure sealants. It explains that pits and fissures are difficult to clean and can accumulate plaque and debris, leading to caries development. Sealants were developed in the 1960s using acid etching to seal pits and fissures with resin. Children with special needs or extensive caries are indicated for sealants. Molars with localized occlusal caries confined to the outer third of dentin can be sealed, while deeper caries requires restoration first. Resin and glass ionomer based sealants are described, with resin being preferred. The application process involves cleaning, etching, washing, applying sealant and curing.
Environmental health
This document discusses various topics relating to environmental health, including water pollution, groundwater, water contaminants, waste disposal, recreational waters, air pollution, and population growth. It notes that water pollution is caused by factors like rapid population growth, industrial outputs, and contaminants. Groundwater resources are valuable but can be polluted by waste storage facilities and septic systems. Waste disposal requires proper treatment of sewage and landfills for solid waste. Air pollution has major global and local health impacts and can be reduced through individual actions. Population growth is increasing by 76 million per year currently and is projected to exceed 9 billion by 2050 due to factors like high fertility rates.
Humans, Health and the Environment
Environmental health concerns the factors in the environment that can affect human health and well-being, such as contaminated food and water, chemical exposures, and polluted air and soil. Environmental issues can be local, regional, or global in scale. At the local level, environmental health involves activities like organizing public events, managing noise and odour, and immunization programs. It also addresses issues at state, national, and global levels through agencies that monitor pollution and the environment. Water pollution can be measured by factors like temperature, turbidity, pH, and biological oxygen demand. Eutrophication occurs when an aquatic system receives excess nutrients, like phosphates from fertilizer runoff, leading to hypoxia and changes in animal populations
Dimensions of health
This document discusses the dimensions of health, including physical, mental, social, spiritual, emotional, and vocational dimensions. It provides definitions of health from the WHO and Webster. It outlines different concepts of health such as the biomedical, ecological, psychosocial, and holistic concepts. It describes each of the dimensions of health in detail, including characteristics, evaluation, and how they relate and impact each other. For example, it discusses how physical illness can lead to mental illness and vice versa. The document also mentions other dimensions such as cultural, socio-economic, environmental, educational, and nutritional dimensions.
School oral health program
The Tattletooth Program is a school-based dental health program developed in Texas in the 1970s. It aims to develop knowledge and skills around preventing dental disease in schoolchildren. The program provides self-contained teaching packets for classroom teachers to educate students on dental health facts across 5 different age-appropriate levels, from preschool to high school. Lesson plans, materials, and strategies for parental involvement are included. The program piloted an approach of classroom dental health education to promote prevention.
