    Aim and background: Silver-modified atraumatic restorative treatment (SMART) can be an alternative method for molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH)-affected cases. The purpose of this study was to assess whether tooth location and cavity preparation affect the clinical success of MIHaffected permanent molars treated with the SMART technique. Materials and methods: Modified United States Public Health Service criteria were utilized for the analyzes. The clinical records (3, 6, and 12 months) of 19 MIH-affected cases (6–12 years; no spontaneous pain and percussion/palpation sensitivity) treated with the SMART technique were assessed. The groups were allocated based on tooth location (mandibular-maxillary) and cavity preparation (class 1–2). The Fisher exact the Chi-squared test was utilized, and the p-value < 0.05 was accepted as statistically significant. Results: Overall success rates were 94.7% at 3 and 6 months and 52.63% at 12 months. Clinical success did not differ statistically regarding location (p > 0.05). The class 1 cavity preparation group was found to be significantly more successful at the 12-month assessments (p = 0.033). Conclusion: The class of cavity preparation may affect the success of the treatment in long-term assessments. The SMART technique, especially in class 1 occlusal restorations, can be recommended as a short-term alternative to traditional treatment methods for MIHaffected cases.

    Silver-Modified Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (SMART) in Managing Carious Primary Molars: 1-Year Clinical Results
    (Int Soc Fluoride Research, 2025) Aksoy, Merve; Sari, Makbule Buse Dundar; Sozuoz, Melis Arda; Gungor, Erva; Bal, Cenkhan
    Purpose: Silver-modified atraumatic restorative treatment (SMART) is a minimally invasive method that can be utilized for the management of early childhood caries. This study aimed to assess the 12-month clinical success of the SMART technique in the management of carious primary molars. Methods: The analysis (Modified-United States Public Health Service Criteria) was performed on the 3rd, 6th and 12th months clinical records of 53 teeth of uncooperative patients aged between 2-6 years treated with the SMART technique. The included teeth with no spontaneous pain and sensitivity to percussion-palpation, were divided into groups by location (mandibular-maxillary) and carious cavities (occlusal, mesio/disto-occlusal, mesio-occlusal-distal). Fisher Exact Chi-Square test was used to determine the relation between the groups and p-value < 0.05 was accepted as statistically significant. Results: The success rate of SMART for retention, marginal discoloration, and secondary caries in the mandible (84.8%), was higher than the values detected in the maxilla (38.5%) and teeth with occlusal caries were significantly more successful at 12-month assessments (p= 0.038). Mandibular cases and occlusal cavities revealed better results in marginal adaptation assessments (78.8%, and 88.9%, respectively). Conclusions: This paper has the novelty of being the first study assessing the effect of the type of carious cavity and the tooth location in the clinical success of SMART technique. Accordingly, SMART may conclude to be an alternative for the treatment of carious teeth of uncooperative children at least for a period until the child becomes mature to comply with the advanced treatment procedures.
