Completed

• Conditions: Dental Caries Prevention and Arrest

• Registration Number: CTRI/2021/04/032480
• Lead Sponsor: Dr Roshni R S

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to assess and compare the effectiveness of 5% Nano silver diamine fluoride and 38% Silver diamine fluoride in arresting dental caries among Anganwadi children of Mangalore

It is a randomized, parallel,  single blinded trail. Anganwadi centers close to the research institute will be selected based on convenience and the centres will be randomized into two groups based on computer generated randomization. Subjects who fulfill the inclusion criteria will be recruited in the study. After obtaining consent baseline data will be collected using Nyvad’s criteria. Then in Group A: oral prophylaxis and application of 5% nano silver fluoride varnish will be done and in Group B: Oral prophylaxis and application of 38% Silver Diamine fluoride varnish will be done.



The outcome variable, the arrest of dental caries will be assessed  during followup using Nyvad’s criteria at 3 months and 6 months interval.



Data will be entered in the excel spreadsheet. Descriptive statistics will be obtained. Repeated measures of Analysis of Variance will be used for analysis of data if the data is normally distributed.
