Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess the survival of restorations by visual inspection using the criteria of ROELEVELD et al. (2006) after 1, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months of treatment, being considered success intact restorations and those with small failures, which receive scores from 00 to 10, and being considered failures the restored teeth that receive scores between 11 and 40. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess the dental sensitivity before and after treatments using the DDQ-B questionnaire (VERSLOOT et al., 2006; DAHER et al., 2014), which will be applied to the children's parents/guardians.;To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of restorations, using the cost-effectiveness ratio method, based on the calculation of the costs of implementing the different restorative treatments and the assessment of the survival rate of the restorations. | — |
