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 .
One-year follow-up of Atraumatic Restorative Treatment(ART) for dental caries in children undergoing oncohematological treatment: a pragmatic trial
Background The oral condition in children undergoing oncohematological treatment can have a negative impact on the course of disease . Little is known about survival of tooth restorations in these patients . The aim of this study was to evaluate the longevity of restorations and sealants performed by Atraumatic Restoration Treatment ( ART ) in patients undergoing oncohematological treatment . Methods ART single surface restorations and sealants were performed in the experimental group ( E ) , which comprised children ( 2–13 years old ) undergoing oncohematological treatment , and in the control group ( C ) , in which  patients did not undergo such treatment .  The same examiner evaluated the  ART  at 1 , 3 , 6 and 12 months after preparation , using the same criteria for restorations and sealants . ART was successful if the sealant or restoration did not need a repair in the follow-up assessment . Descriptive , bivariate and Cox ’s proportional hazard analyses were performed at a significance level of 5 % . Results The two groups , one including 24 children ( E ) and the other 14 children ( C ) , received 101 and 52 ART procedures , respectively . The success rates were 95.0 % ( E ) and 100 % ( C ) at 1 month ( P = 0.233 ) ; 81.2 % ( E ) and 92.3 % ( C ) at 3 months ( P = 0.009 ) ; 72.2 % ( E ) and 80.8 % ( C ) at 6 months ( P = 0.050 ) and 48.5 % ( E ) and 73.1 % ( C ) at 12 months ( P = 0.001 ) . The final Cox ’s regression model for occurrence of ART failure needing repair did not show differences between groups ( E : OR = 1.6 , 95 % CI 0.8–2.9 ) ; primary teeth had a shorter survival than permanent teeth ( OR = 2.1 , 95 % CI 1.2–3.7 ) . Conclusions Oncohematological treatment did not interfere with the longevity of  ART restorations and sealants , which suggests the potential use of this technique in children undergoing chemotherapy .
