Detection of Residual Caries on Class II Cavity Walls in Primary Teeth Following Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART)

The primary aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic agreement and effectiveness of three different methods-Fluorescence-Aided Caries Excavation (FACE), caries detection dye, and clinical observation-in detecting residual caries remaining on cavity walls of primary teeth following Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART). Through this comparison, the study seeks to identify the method that provides more reliable and accurate results, thereby contributing to clinical practice by guiding clinicians and supporting the development of strategies to enhance the long-term success of ART.
