About this study

Official title: Clinical Assessment of Two Different Minimal Invasive Techniques in Caries Removal of Primary Teeth (Randomized Control Clinical Trial)

Pain control during dental treatments is the most challenging situations that face the pediatric dentist especially in young and fearful or anxious child. Minimal invasive approach for caries removal includes many techniques to remove caries either by dental excavators, rotatory burs, atraumatic restorative treatment (ART), chemo-mechanical caries removal and smart bur.

Being tested
ART, Brix 3000, Carie Move, Smart Bur

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ARTOther

    The restorative procedure performed in relative isolation and without the use of anesthesia consisted of removal of the carious tissue using hand instrument excavators and dentin

  • Brix 3000Other

    Brix 3000 gel will be applied to the caries lesion using a spoon excavator** leaving gel according to the manufacturer's instructions. After 2 minutes, the gel will turn from translucent green colour to cloudy after the gel removal.

  • Carie MoveOther

    Carie-Move gel will be applied to the caries lesion according to the manufacturer's instructions at second visit in the same child. After 30 second the gel will be removed.

  • Smart BurOther

    Removal of carious dentin will be carried out employing smart bur II mounted on a low-speed handpiece without water spray. Caries removal will be proceeded until the smart bur II becomes dull after repeated contact with healthy dentin (21) (figure 3)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. pain scores

    Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale (WBFPS) Presents 6 faces with increasing degrees of pain from left to right. Each face was attributed a scale from 0 to 10 indicated onthe scale.

    Children were asked to choose the face that best describe his or her pain.

    Measured: Immediately after the intervention

  2. caries removal time

    The total working time required for caries removal will be recorded in minutes using a stopwatch

    Measured: During procedure

  3. Caries removal efficacy

    The caries removal criteria:

    0 Caries removed completely

    1. Caries noticed at the base of the cavity
    2. Caries noticed at the base and/or one wall of the cavity
    3. Caries noticed at the base and/or two walls of the cavity
    4. Caries noticed at the base and/or more than two walls of the cavity
    5. Caries noticed at the base, walls and margins of the cavity.

    Measured: Immediately after the intervention
