Question 1 of 3

No, this statement is TRUE:

The purpose in using resin-modified glass ionomers (RMGI's) with ART is to stabilize the child and the lesion(s).

You'll recall that the RMGI restorations often may be interim in nature, lasting until more durable restorations can be placed at a time when the child's behavior can be better managed. In fact, the basic idea is to provide a therapy that may last only several months, but still last long enough so that the child gains the maturity to be treated conventionally at a later time.
