Conclusions ART single-surface restorations  presented high survival percentages in both primary and permanent posterior teeth , whilst ART multiple-surface restorations presented lower survival percentages .
ART sealants presented a high-caries-preventive effect .
Clinical relevance ART is an effective evidence -based option for treating and preventing carious lesions in primary and permanent posterior teeth
Objective The aim of the present study is to up date the results of two previous meta-analyses , published in 2006 and 2012 , on the survival percentages of  atraumatic restorative treatment ( ART ) restorations and ART sealants .
The current meta- analysis includes Chinese publications not investigated before .
A clinical evaluation of two glass ionomer cements in primary molars using atraumatic restorative treatment technique in India: 1 year follow up.
AIM To compare the clinical performance of two glass ionomer cements , Amalgomer CR and Fuji IX in small and medium cavities prepared using Atraumatic restorative treatment approach in India . STUDY DESIGN One hundred school children in the age group of 4 - 9 years who had bilateral matched pair of carious lesions in primary posterior teeth were included . A split mouth design was used in which two material s were r and omly placed in contralateral sides . The performance of the restorations was assessed after 1 year using Frenken 's criteria ( 1996 ) . Survival analysis of restoration was done using chi-square test . RESULTS The survival rate of Amalgomer CR and Fuji IX class I restorations were 97.4 % and 94.9 % , respectively . In class II cavities 95.1 % and 88.5 % of Amalgomer CR and Fuji IX restorations were successful . Amalgomer CR and Fuji IX showed a success of 94.2 % and 92.3 % in small sized class II cavities . Amalgomer CR showed a 100 % success for medium sized class I and II restorations . Whereas Fuji IX showed a 100 % and 66.7 % success in medium sized class I and II cavities . CONCLUSION The clinical performances of both material s were satisfactory at the end of 1 year and ART is suitable procedure to be done in a dental clinic for children
