Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected that the products used in the research are effective in stopping the evolution of carious lesions, determined through the tactile-visual method, using the OMS probe to evaluate the texture of the enamel (smooth: inactive lesion or rough: active lesion), clinical mirror to assess appearance (glossy: inactive lesion or dull: active lesion) and artificial light, at baseline and at biannual study evaluations (at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected that there will be some percentage of partial or total loss to the naked eye of both materials used in the research until the end of the evaluations, determined through visual examination, clinical mirror and artificial light. Each molar that underwent intervention will be classified according to the clinical evaluation criteria proposed by the FDI for functional properties, with scores from 1 to 5 being attributed. addition, it is expected that the images obtained show that the bottom of the pits and fissures are filled with the materials tested in this research. Data collected before the intervention, after the intervention and at the six-monthly evaluations (at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months) | — |
