Brief summary
The study is to compare the prophylactic and therapeutic clinical effectiveness of two fluoride varnishes in children at high caries risk. It was hypothesized, the use of Fluor Protector S (I) fluoride varnish in children with deciduous teeth at high risk of caries (P) reduces caries and the activity/remineralisation of carious enamel spots (transformation of White Spot Lesion into D (decay)) (O), similarly to what occurs after the use of Duraphat varnish (C).
Detailed description
The study is to compare the prophylactic and therapeutic clinical effectiveness of two fluoride varnishes in children at high caries risk. It was hypothesized, the use of Fluor Protector S (I) fluoride varnish in children with deciduous teeth at high risk of caries (P) reduces caries and the activity/remineralisation of carious enamel spots (transformation of White Spot Lesion into D (decay)) (O), similarly to what occurs after the use of Duraphat varnish (C). The question set bases on a Caries Assessment by Risk Management system basing on the occurrence of major caries causative agents (biological and medical), and also of the protective/preventive ones. Questions related to the social and economical status will be left out because of the difficulty of getting them answered honestly. Teeth will be scored according to International Caries Detection System II classification, and oral hygiene according to the Greene and Vermillion simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI-S) (1964). Children and their parents/guardians will receive hygienic, dietary and prophylactic guidelines.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| the number of caries and white spot lesions in teeth treated with fluoride varnishes comparing to the control group. | 12 months | The primary outcome were caries prevalence and increment.The primary endpoint for each individual child is whether or not there has been any occurrence of new caries lesions over the 1 year period, as measured by any increase in d3mft at 1 years of follow up compared to the d3mft at baseline (d3mft is dental decay as measured by the dmft scale in the dentine) |
