Conditions
Dental Caries

Procedure: HVGIC restoration with pre-etching
Procedure: HVGIC restoration with non pre-etching
Registration Number
NCT03785769
Lead Sponsor
Universidade Ibirapuera
Brief Summary

The objective of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the survival of restoration with high viscosity glass ionomer cement (HVGIC) with pre-etching with polyacrilic acid compared with no pre-etching in order to treat occlusoproximais caries lesion in primary molars, as well as the impact of those treatments in the caries lesion progression, the cost-efficacy of the procedures and the discomfort reported by the patient. Children of 4 to 8 years will be selected in the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic of Universidade Ibirapuera. 192 teeth will be randomized in 2 experimental groups: (1) HVGIC restoration with pre-etching and (2) HVGIC restoration with no pre-etching. Will be considered as primary outcome the survival of the restoration evaluated after 6, 12, and 24 months by two trained examiners. The carious lesions progression will be evaluated after 24 months of follow-up. The time of the treatments and the cost of the materials will be considered to estimate the cost-efficacy of each treatment. The discomfort reported by the participant will be measured after each procedure following the Wong-Baker scale. For the primary outcome, Kaplan-Meier survival and the Long-Rank test will be used in order to compare the two groups. Cox regression will be performed in order to evaluate thee influence of explanatory variables on the outcome.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Survival of restorations24 months

Comparing the survival of HVGIC restorations without pre-etching with HVGIC restorations with pre-etching by clinical assessment using a criteria proposed by Roleveld et al., 2006.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Caries lesion progression will be evaluated by comaparison of radiograph immediately after the restorationImmediately after the restoration and 24 months

The caries lesion progression will be evaluated by comaparison of radiograph immediately after the restoration and after 24 months.

Cost-efficacy24 months.

The duration of the treatments (time of treatment) and the cost of the materials used will be considered for the estimation of the cost-efficacy of the treatments by a ratio - cost/efficacy, being efficacy considered the tooth survival.

Discomfort regarding the treatment options by a Wong-Baker FACES pain rating scaleImmediately after the treatment

Children-reported discomfort regarding the treatment options by a Wong-Baker FACES pain rating scale. The scale present 6 different faces since "very happy" until "very sad" with the treatment.
