Partial Dentin Caries Removal Clinical Trial
Official title:
Radiographic Assessment of Glass Ionomer Restorations With and Without Prior Application of Nano Silver Fluoride in Occlusal Carious Molars Treated With Partial Caries Removal Technique (Randomized Clinical Trial)
eligible teeth will be randomly divided into two groups to be treated with incomplete caries
excavation (A), where (A1) represents teeth to be treated with application of Nano silver
fluoride solution on remaining carious dentin prior to final permanent glass ionomer
restoration application, (A2) represents comparator group to be restored without Nano silver
fluoride application prior to restoration. Every participant will receive both the
intervention and control treatment. Image of radiographic density of remaining carious dentin
will be evaluated using PSP plate at baseline immediately after restoration and after 6
months after restorative procedures.
The null hypothesis tested is that application of Nano silver fluoride solution prior to
glass ionomer restoration will not increase radiopacity of the underlying dentin treated by
incomplete carious removal technique compared to that of direct glass ionomer restoration
without prior application of Nano silver fluoride.
