title: Three-year evaluation of the ART approach in Class III and V restorations in permanent anterior teeth.
abstract: This study evaluated the survival of class III and V restorations using the atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) approach in permanent anterior teeth, after 3 years. A total of 151 restorations were performed in 60 patients. After 3 years, 107 restorations (47 patients) were evaluated. Data were analyzed using exact 95% confidence interval. A total of 97 restorations (91% with 95% CI = 83-99), 76 class III (92% with 95% CI = 82-100) and 21 class V (88% with 95% CI = 77-98) were classified as successful. The survival rate of the ART approach in class III and V restorations in permanent anterior teeth was considered high.
