Abstract

Dental caries is a multifactorial disease resulting from the interaction of various factors such as diet, oral hygiene, host immunity, and dental structure. Despite advancements in preventive strategies, it remains a prevalent global health issue, affecting billions of individuals worldwide. Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) is a minimally invasive approach that involves the removal of carious tissue using hand instruments and the restoration of cavities with high-viscosity glass ionomer cement. This technique serves as a significant alternative, particularly for individuals with limited access to dental care, young children, and patients with special needs. The aim of this study is to assess the attitudes and behaviors of pediatric dentists and practitioners from other dental specialties toward ART.
