Official title
Remineralization Potential of Different Remineralizing Agents on Initial Enamel Caries: Laboratory Evaluations and Two-year Randomized Clinical Trial
Overview
To evaluate and compare the clinical effect of four different remineralizing agents on initial enamel caries after a two years follow up.
Detailed description
The experimental design description adhered to the guidelines provided by the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) statement. The present study is planned as a double-blinded randomized clinical trial, ensuring that both the patients and the examiner are unaware of the treatment allocation. The trial will follow a parallel-arm design.A young- age patients , who are seeking dental treatment, will be enrolled in the study. The participants will be recruited from the Operative Department clinic at the Facultyof Dentistry, University of Mansoura. The study will focus on initial enamel caries on buccal or labial surfaces of permenant teeth.rior to participating in the study, each patient will be required to provide informed consent by signing a consent form. The study is scheduled to be conducted from September 2024 to September 2026. The form and protocol of the study will be approved by Mansoura University's ethics committee before initiation.Sample size calculation was based on mean NYVAD scores between studied groups retrieved from previous research that most similar to our research using G power program version 3.1.9.7 to calculate sample size based on expected difference of 31% ,using 2-tailed test , α error =0.05 and power = 80.0% , the total calculated sample size will be at least 30 in each group with each patient having at least one active lesion.
Interventions
- Procedure SAP fluoride plus
The agent was applied by removing the safety clip, activating the applicator and squeezing out the sponge above the lesion and the solution was left to diffuse for 5 min.the patients were instructed to eat only soft foods and avoid hot liquids for two hours. Also, they were educated and motivated about the importance of oral hygiene. - Procedure 10% n-HAp.
the pastes were applied using micro brushes. The excess was removed after four minutes with a cotton swab. The subjects were advised not to drink or eat for 30 minutes after the treatment. The treatment was applied once every week for a period of four weeks.they instructed to adhere to oral hygiene measures. - Procedure 10% n-BAG.
the pastes were applied using micro brushes. The excess was removed after four minutes with a cotton swab. The subjects were advised not to drink or eat for 30 minutes after the treatment. The treatment was applied once every week for a period of four weeks. patients instructed to adhere to oral hygiene measures. - Procedure Flour Protector S
After application of varnish, the patient was instructed to avoid abrasive diet for the rest of the day and not brush or floss until the next morning. The treatment was done at baseline and after 6 months.
Primary outcome measures
- ICDAS II scores [Time frame: assessment will be done at baseline and after 3, 6, 12 and 24 months.]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- DIAGNOdent score [Time frame: assessment will be done at baseline and after 3, 6, 12 and 24 months.]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
