Dental Caries
Conditions
Interventions
Three treatment groups for carious lesions ICDAS 4 in deciduous molars: 1) control oclusal lesions using varnish fluoride
2) seal oclusal lesions with resin modified ionomer cement
3) selective removal of carious tissues followed by resin modified ionomer cement restoration. There is 25 deciduous molars in each group.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To demonstrate the efficacy of the three treatments tested: fluoride varnish (control); sealant with resin-modified glass ionomer cement (seal) and restoration with resin-modified glass ionomer cement (restoring). The efficacy will be checked using the modified Atraumatic Restorative Treatment Criterion for clinical evaluation of sealants and restorations; and through the code and descriptor of the epidemiological instrument: Caries Assessment Spectrum and Treatment. It is estimated to be clinically significant within the 6 and 12 month assessment time that in 1% of the sample caries lesions may progress. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To demonstrate that the application of fluoride varnish is more cost-effective than sealant treatment and restorative treatment. The calculation will be made adding the fixed costs, materials of consumption and clinical hour of the professional. | — |
