Year: 2024
Type: article
Study designs: Randomized Controlled Trial, Clinical Trial
Abstract: Aims and background: Combination of different noninvasive caries arresting approaches may improve the effectiveness and success rate of individual procedures for caries management. The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical and radiographic success rate of a combination of 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) application and Hall technique (HT) for the management of dentinal caries in primary molars and compare it with conventional stainless steel crown (SSC) restoration. Materials and methods: = 25) received conventional SSC restoration. Follow-up was done at 1 month, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 30 months intervals. Results: > 0.05). Conclusion: Conservative management of dentinal carious lesions with SDF and HT showed a similar success rate as compared to conventional operative procedures. Clinical significance: This protocol can help reduce the clinical chair time and the need for deep sedation/general anesthesia in young children suffering from deep carious lesions with reversible pulpitis.
