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 .
Remineralization Capacity of Three Fissure Sealants with and without Gaseous Ozone on Non-Cavitated Incipient Pit and Fissure Caries.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the remineralization activation of the application of three fissure sealants ( FSs ) , alone or with gaseous ozone ( GO ) , on non-cavitated initial caries and evaluate the clinical success of FS . STUDY DESIGN Sixty children who had DIAGNOdent scores between 10 - 30 on bilateral symmetric m and ibular first permanent molars were included in study . In a split-mouth design , teeth were assigned to experimental ( with GO ) and control ( without GO ) groups . GO was applied to teeth on one side and then the same br and of r and omly selected FSs was applied to the teeth on both sides . Children were divided into 3 groups based on type of FS ( Group 1 : Aegis { Bosworth Co , North Hamlin Avenue Skokie , Illinois , USA } , Group 2 : Fuji Triage { GC , Tokyo , Japan } , Group 3 : Helioseal { Ivoclar Vivadent , Liechtenstein , Germany } ) . All FSs were then examined for retention rates at 1 , 3 , 6 , 9 , and 12 months ; at the end of 12 months , all FSs were removed with an air-abrasion device and DIAGNOdent scores noted to compare with the initial values . RESULTS The application of GO with either Fuji Triage or Aegis FS was effective on remineralization ( p<0.05 ) ; however , the application of Helioseal FSs was not effective ( p>0.05 ) . The 1(st ) and 12(th ) months ' full retention rates of Fuji Triage FSs was a significant difference ( p<0.05 ) from other FSs ( Aegis and Helioseal ) ( p>0.05 ) . CONCLUSIONS GO+Aegis FS showed the highest remineralization ; and , at the end of 12 months , its clinical success was higher than other FSs
