Brief Summary:
Clinical trial to compare non-invasive and minimally-invasive therapies on the progression of the caries lesions. Clinical investigation of resin infiltration versus sodium fluoride (5% NaF) varnish application.
Detailed Description:
Dental caries is the most globally prevalent disease that affects thousands of adults and children. Caries is a biofilm-mediated, sugar-driven, multifactorial, and dynamic disease that results from the imbalance between demineralization and remineralization of the dental hard tissues. Preventing the onset of the disease should be the primary goal; however, once the disease is present efforts should be made by both patient and clinician to successfully reestablish the mineralization balance by the use of preventive and/or minimally-invasive methods when possible. The sodium fluoride (5% NaF) varnish is one of the most common therapies used as a non-invasive approach for caries prevention and remineralization; and, the resin infiltration materials are indicated for the minimal intervention of non-cavitated occlusal and proximal caries. The minimal intervention has been considered the new concept of caries management. Although several studies discussing minimal intervention or non-intervention are available, there is a lack of published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) providing data about the use of non-invasive therapies on incipient lesions, and its correlation with the patient's caries risk. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy non-invasive and minimally-invasive therapies on the progression of the caries lesions considering the patient's caries risk.
This study will be conducted in the province of Ontario, Canada. A total of thirty patients (15 to 50 years old), who present with a minimum of two incipient proximal carious lesions on the proximal surfaces of posterior teeth (non-cavitated lesions identified as small, faint radiolucent areas seen on the intra-oral radiographs) will be asked to participate in this study. The radiologic assessment of incipient lesions will be performed by a dental radiologist, blinded to the selected treatment groups, by comparison of the radiographs imaging over time.
