Since the introduction of the Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) approach over twenty years ago, more than 190 research publications have appeared. The last research agenda defining research priorities for ART was published in 1999. The objective of the present work was to review existing research in the context of future research priorities for ART.
An internet survey was conducted amongst those who had published on ART or were known to be working on the ART approach, to solicit their views as to areas of future ART research. Three broad categories were defined, namely: 1. Basic and laboratory research; 2. Clinical research, and, 3. Community, Public Health, Health Services Research.
A 31% response rate was achieved. The study identified a number of new areas of research as well as areas where additional research is required. These are expressed as recommendations for future ART research.
The ART approach is based on a robust, reliable and ever-growing evidence base concerning its clinical applications which indicates that it is a reliable and quality treatment approach. In common with all other oral health care procedures, targeted applied research is required to improve the oral health care offered.
在未来 ART 研究重点的背景下，对现有研究进行综述。
对发表过 ART 相关文章或从事 ART 研究的人员进行了网上调查，以征求他们对未来 ART 研究领域的看法。确定了三个广泛的类别，即：1. 基础和实验室研究；2. 临床研究；3. 社区、公共卫生、卫生服务研究。
回复率为 31%。研究确定了一些新的研究领域以及需要进一步研究的领域。这些被表述为对未来 ART 研究的建议。
ART 方法基于其临床应用的可靠、可靠且不断增长的证据基础，这表明它是一种可靠且高质量的治疗方法。与所有其他口腔保健程序一样，需要有针对性的应用研究来改善所提供的口腔保健。
