Study type | Interventional |
This study aims to test the effectiveness in reducing or arresting root caries lesion in community-dwelling elderly subjects by using high fluoridated toothpaste. A double blinded RCT will be conducted with two arms; 5000 ppm F and 1450 ppm F toothpaste. Dentifrices will be delivered to the participants in a blind format and they will be instructed to brush twice per day. Follow-up will be carries out every 6 months for two years to assess: - Root caries incidence. - Lesion arresting - Changes in salivary flow - Microbiology pattern shift - Variations in oral health- related quality of life by OHIP-14 Sp

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Root Caries Activity | Using Nyvad's criteria for root caries lesions, activity will be assessed by a visual-tactile method. | After 2 years of follow up | |
Secondary | Oral Health Related Quality of Life, Measured by the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14 Sp) | The impact on the quality of life of the therapy will be explored using the OHIP-14 Sp, validated by our group. In a scale ranging from 0 to 56 points, with 0-14 being good Oral Health-related quality of life and 15-56 poor Oral Health-related quality of life. | Data registered at 2 years of follow-up | |
Secondary | Salivary Flow | Unstimulated Salivary Flow, defined as Normal or Low Important: This outcome measure was originally considered. However, due to logistic issues, we did not assess it and no data is available. | Baseline and 2-year follow up |
