5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Basic standard of care emphasis only tooth brushing and flossing without addressing individual pathological factors. For this reason, randomized controlled clinical trials on personalized caries management are needed to be able to compare the effectiveness of personalized caries management to basic standard of care. This is especially true in high caries risk populations and more so for young adults who stand to benefit the most from working towards a caries free adulthood.
Detailed Description
Aim of the study: is to conduct an RCT to compare the effectiveness of a new personalized caries-control treatment protocol with standard caries treatment protocol for reducing caries incidence in high caries risk patients Hypothesis: This project will be designed to test the null hypothesis that there is no significant difference between the new personalized caries-control treatment protocol and existing standard caries treatment protocol, and to test the alternative hypothesis that the new personalized treatment protocol will be superior to the standard preventive measures Primary objective: is to measure the incidence of new caries lesions

Masking Description
The recruiter will be blinded. The operator cannot be blinded because of the different in the procedures of caries prevention applied in each group. However, the assessors will be kept unaware of the treatment assigned to the patient.
