- Brief Summary
The study is a Randomized, Parallel GroupTrial Evaluating and comparing two agents namely- Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF)and Universal Bonding Agent (UBA) in reducing dental caries and dentalhypersensitivity in decayed hypoplastic (weak) permanent molar teeth. Bothagents shall be applied in children aged 6- 14 years in MIH teeth with ICDAS scores1-4. Participant and Outcome Assessor Blinded and same children will beassessed for continuation/ arrest of dental caries and dentinalhypersensitivity at regular intervals of 3 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 9months. The primary outcome measures of the study are caries arrest, assessedby changes in color and texture, and a decrease in dental hypersensitivitymeasured by predefined SCASS and VAS scores.
The results indicated that out of 243teeth, 212 teeth (111 belonging to the SDF group and 101 belonging to the UBAgroup) were available for follow-up at the end of the 9-month follow-up period.The ICDAS categorization and Schiff Cold Air Sensitivity Scale (SCASS) of theavailable 212 teeth were recorded. The study also included intra- andinter-group comparison of both agents pre-operatively and post-operatively at 9months, which was summarized. The statistical analysis showed no statisticallysignificant reduction in the ICDAS scores for both the SDF and UBA groups.However, there was a statistically significant reduction in the sensitivityscore (Schiff score) between the pre- and post-values for both the SDF and UBAgroups.
The rate of reduction between the studygroups showed no statistical difference, indicating that both had a similareffect.

Name Time Method Assessing dental hypersensitivity: (Schiff Cold Air Sensitivity Scale (SCASS) and / or VAS scores will used to assess the presence of hypersensitivity). Children shall be followed-up and re-evaluated using ICDAS-2 scale after 3 weeks, 3 months and 6 months Positive outcomes – Improvement in SCASS and / or VAS scores Children shall be followed-up and re-evaluated using ICDAS-2 scale after 3 weeks, 3 months and 6 months Negative outcomes- No improvement or worsening of SCASS and / or VAS scores Children shall be followed-up and re-evaluated using ICDAS-2 scale after 3 weeks, 3 months and 6 months Assessing for caries arrest: Children shall be followed-up and re-evaluated using ICDAS-2 scale after 3 weeks, 3 months and 6 months Positive outcomes - Dark, hard, and black lesions with no pain or infection Children shall be followed-up and re-evaluated using ICDAS-2 scale after 3 weeks, 3 months and 6 months Negative outcomes -Progression of the lesion, a yellow, brown, soft lesion with or without pain or infection. Children shall be followed-up and re-evaluated using ICDAS-2 scale after 3 weeks, 3 months and 6 months
