Registration Number

Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

To evaluate the clinical and radiographic success of using Casein Phosphopeptide Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP) under glass ionomer restorations in atraumatic restorative treatment as a biomimetic approach in pediatric dentistry.

Detailed Description

With the growing popularity of ART in the field of pediatric dentistry, a great deal of research has been done in recent years. Researchers are keen to explore the rich possibilities and variations of ART technique that can help doctors practice better and do more for their patients. Alternatives include detours to regenerative dentistry, which is becoming more and more popular these days.

CPP ACP is still of great interest in the region due to its remineralizing action. However, to our knowledge, clinical and radiological success involving tissue regeneration by CPP-ACP is understudied. Furthermore, the studies conducted justify the need for further research on the use of CPP-ACP as an indirect material under glass ionomers in ART. Therefore, this study aims to conclude whether CPP ACP has added value in regenerating, reducing pain, and improving repair retention in caries-affected dentin lesions.

Exclusion Criteria
  • Uncooperative children to avoid time waste and attrition bias.
  • Children with systemic disease as some systemic diseases may have effect on the outcome Children with known allergy to any of the components being utilized. Molars near exfoliation.

Primary molars with more than half of the root resorbed or with periapical pathology as evident radiographically Mobile or ankylosed molars with no permanent successors

  • Unable to attend follow-up visits to avoid attrition bias by decreasing number of drop off cases.
  • Refusal of participation as the parent of child has the authority of participation.
