BPOC is an evidence-based clinical approach to care designed for ethical use in resource poor and underserved settings. Oral Urgent Treatment (OUT). Emergency care and acute pain alleviation and management.Affordable Fluoridated Toothpastes (AFT). Creating access to affordable and available fluoride sources.Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART). Although evidence of the effectiveness of ART is favourable, this method is most appropriate in areas where a patient will eventually be able to access more permanent treatment.

As glass ionomer cement (GIC) is the primary restorative material used in minimal intervention dentistry and atraumatic restorative treatment, its popularity in the treatment of cavitated lesions is growing among dentists (Frencken and Holmgren 2014; Frencken 2017). Due to its favourable features of fluoride release, chemical bonding to the tooth structure, good biocompatibility, and coefficient of thermal expansion similar to that of dentine, it has a high versatility of usage (Wiegand et al. 2007; Farrugia and Camilleri 2015; Sidhu and Nicholson 2016; Mishra et al. 2017). The biggest attributes of GICs are tooth remineralization and reduction of demineralization of the dental hard tissues by fluoride release, which makes it superior to other direct restorations (Wiegand et al. 2007; Roveri et al. 2009; Zhou et al. 2012). Fluoride also contributes to caries prevention by interfering with cariogenic bacteria, and disturbs bacterial colonization and biofilm formation, affecting bacterial metabolism and its acid production by the inhibition of the glycolytic enzyme enolase and proton-extruding ATPase (Hamilton 1990; Wiegand et al. 2007). Thus, the fluoride interacts with both the host (tooth) and resident oral microflora.

Regarding fissure sealants which may be an effective preventive treatment, the use of an adhesive system to permit a higher retention is still controversial, and more studies are needed to confirm the best way of applying these adhesive systems [7,8]. Taking into account atraumatic restorative treatment in permanent teeth, there is still lack of information [7,8]. Concerning resin composite restoration, several factors as the type of adhesive and deproteinization must be taken into consideration, and despite the development of new techniques and materials, further long-term clinical trials and further laboratory research projects are needed [7,8].
Effectiveness of the ICCMS caries management system for children: a 3-year multicentre randomised controlled trial

For this study, the ICCMS protocol was adjusted locally as fluoride mouthrinse/solution, atraumatic restorative treatment (ART), and the Hall technique were not used. These adaptations have been referred as ‘Glocal’ in the ICCMS derived for the dental practice ‘CariesCare International’ Guide [33], as a watchword for successful local implementation. The CCMS protocol in this trial corresponded to the standard of care as described in the National Health System guidelines [2].
