Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The presentation of the expected outcome was based on the null hypothesis where: 1) The child's salivary cortisol level would not be influenced by the selective necrotic dentin removal method; 2) The method used for caries removal would not influence the longitudinal clinical performance of class II composite resin restorations in deciduous molars.; We expected salivary cortisol levels increase for the experimental group, through immunoenzymatic analysis.
