About
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of 30% silver diamine fluoride in the treatment of clinically caries lesions in enamel, with radiographic image restricted to the enamel or the outer third of dentin on the proximal surfaces of primary and permanent posterior teeth. It also aims to compare it to the resin infiltration and to the control of proximal biofilm through the oral hygiene.
Full description
The sample will be comprised of 141 patients between 3 to 10 year-old and 504 proximal surfaces of 12-to-17-year-old adolescents, who present at least one proximal surface with initial caries lesion. Patients will be randomly allocated to treatments, according to the technique to be employed: (I) resin infiltration (II) 30% diamine silver fluoride, (III) just daily flossing by the patient. All subjects will receive placebo treatments performed in other groups. The teeth will be evaluated by clinical and radiographic exams at baseline and after 1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. In 1, 3 and 18 months will just be evaluated aspects related to the biofilm.
