Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The efficacy of caries removal was measured by two blinded examiners (ICC > 0.8) using the Ericson et al. scale by visual-tactile examination and utilizing the caries detector of the Ericson et al. scale after caries excavation | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Objective pain assessment measured using the Sound, Eye, Motor (SEM) scale by two blinded examiners (ICC > 0.8), and SEM scoring criteria during the excavation of caries 2.
