Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) is a modern approach to managing dental caries, based on the principles of minimally invasive dentistry. This method relies on shaping the enamel, removing infected dentin tissue, and restoring the cavity using an adhesive restorative material — all performed solely with hand instruments. Since ART does not require electricity, water, or rotary tools, it can be safely applied both in clinical and field settings.

Scientific studies have shown that the ART method offers high success rates and excellent patient comfort, particularly for children, elderly individuals, patients with disabilities, and those with high dental anxiety. Additionally, ART is considered a “patient-friendly” method due to its reduced risk of pulpal damage, elimination of aerosol generation, lowered cross-infection risk, and preservation of healthy tissue.

At Steelsa, we manufacture the excavators, enamel hatchets, and other micro-invasive hand instruments required for ART applications with high-quality standards. These instruments provide an ergonomic grip with durable stainless-steel bodies, while their precisely engineered cutting tips allow controlled removal of carious tissue and preservation of healthy dentin.

Our products are fully compatible with sterilization procedures and are manufactured in our local facilities in compliance with ISO 13485 quality management system and CE standards.

With ART hand instruments produced by Steelsa, you benefit from:

  • Sharp and precise tip designs that support minimally invasive techniques

  • Controlled dentin removal with maximized tissue preservation

  • Effective use in both field and clinical environments

  • Combined patient comfort and clinical efficiency

Preserve natural tissue, support biological treatment — with Steelsa, trust in the ART approach.
