Clinical Trial Summary
This study aimed to evaluate the oral health related quality of life ( OHRQoL), during caries
management in children with vital carious primary teeth with no signs of irreversible
pulpitis using SDF alone or SDF in combination with ART, using Early Childhood Oral Health
Impact Scale (ECOHIS).
Description:
Early childhood caries (ECC) is a type of dental caries in the teeth of infants and children
that is represented as one of the most prevalent dental problems in this period, which can
lead to pain, infection, interference with eating.
According to the ADA, (ECC) is described as "the presence of one or more decayed ( cavitated
or non cavitated lesions), missing (due to caries), or filled tooth surfaces in any primary
tooth" in children.
Overall, 50% of children have one or more decayed primary teeth by the end of toddler age,
but the importance of these teeth should not be neglected, because, healthy teeth in
childhood have an important role in the eruption of healthy permanent teeth, healthy
nutrition, and aesthetic appearance.
Conventional treatment methods (drill and fill) involve the use of rotary burs under local
anesthesia which develops pain and needs cooperative child and highly trained dental health
personnel and consider an invasive technique, on the other hand (ART) is an approach to
increase accessibility to restorative treatment, inexpensive and can be employed in regions
without electricity and running water. In addition, ART is a minimally invasive treatment
that requires no rotary instruments or local anesthesia to remove decayed tissue before
sealing the cavity with high viscosity glass ionomer cement (GIC).
(SDF), a low-cost cariostatic agent and a noninvasive method for caries management, treatment
with SDF are easy, effective, and well accepted, it is also an alternative to traditional
restorative treatment and may influence the reduction of untreated carious lesions in
childhood
