About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Dental Caries focused on measuring Antibacterial agents, Deciduous Teeth, Clinical Trial

Eligibility Criteria

5 Years - 8 Years (Child)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • signed consent from a parent or guardian;
  • primary molars with carious lesions on the inner half of dentin;
  • access of caries lesions to dentin spoons.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • damaged pulp determined clinically (for pain, fistulas, tooth mobility);
  • damaged pulp determined radiography (bone or dental pathology);
  • children taking antibiotics;
  • children who refused the treatment;
  • children had systemic disease.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

number of successful restorations with a dental liner with antibiotics
The absence of pain, fistulas, and mobility throughout the study was considered clinical success and the decreased or unchanged area of caries (obtained by a software to accurately measure distances between anatomical points selected by the operator of radiolucent zone beneath the restoration) and no bone or dental disorder was detected was considered radiographic success. Overall success was defined as clinical and radiographic success being achieved simultaneously.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Dental materials with antibacterial properties can prevent the harmful effects caused by oral cariogenic bacteria. This double-blind controlled clinical trial evaluated the performance of antibacterial cement for sealing infected dentin in atraumatic restorations of primary molars.
Detailed Description
The study enrolled 45 children (45 teeth) between 5 and 8 years of age, of both genders, divided into two groups. In group A (GA; n=22), the cavities were lined with conventional glass ionomer cement (Vidrion F®) and in group B (GB; n=23), with antibacterial cement (Vidrion F® containing 1% each of metronidazole, ciprofloxacin, and cefaclor). Both groups were restored with Ketac Molar Easymix®. Molars with carious lesions on the inner half of dentin without clinical or radiographic pulp damage were selected. Patients were evaluated clinically (for pain, fistulas, or mobility) and radiographically (area of caries, periapical region, and furcation of teeth) after 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.

Description
The absence of pain, fistulas, and mobility throughout the study was considered clinical success and the decreased or unchanged area of caries (obtained by a software to accurately measure distances between anatomical points selected by the operator of radiolucent zone beneath the restoration) and no bone or dental disorder was detected was considered radiographic success.
