In spite of the developments in dental care that focuses
on a strong program to prevent the onset of tooth decay, a
majority of the population still suffers from it. One reason
for this is due to fear
of the drill and the needle. Are you one of them? If your
answer is YES, then Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART)
is for you. ART is a technique that involves the removal of
the decay in a gentle way using only hand instruments. The
cavity is then cleansed and then filled with Fuji IX. The
dentist slightly overfills the cavity, then applies light
pressure to remove the excess material.
International research shows a Fuji IX ART Restoration to
be as durable and successful as conventional fillings. The
ART Method is officially endorsed by the World Health Organisation
and Fuji IX is the only material that us developed in conjunction
with the WHO Collaborating Centre for Oral Health Services
Research.
For the public dental service, the ART Technique provides
the benefit of a low cost effective treatment as expensive
dental equipment and the expensive maintenance is not needed.
Disinfection procedures are also easier and less expensive
to implement.
The private practice also sees a lot of advantages in utilising
the ART Method. Since it is relatively painless, there is
no need for injecting local anesthetic which allows the dentists
use Fuji IX GP as a biological tooth cloloured filling material.
Benefits of Fuji IX Gp
- Protection from lurther tooth decay due to a very good
seal that prevents bacteria form going in-between tooth
and filling material
- Increases the acid resistance of the tooth with the releases
of fluoride
- Saves teeth as less tooth structure needs to be removed
due to a chemical bond to tooth structure
- The only high strength glass iononer with evidence on
the ability to remineralise.
