Summary

Purpose:

This randomized controlled clinical trial aimed to compare the effectiveness of fluoride varnish, resin infiltrant, and their combination in treating superficial proximal carious lesions in primary molars of children aged 4 to 9 years.

Materials and Methods:

Twenty-six children with initial proximal caries (E1, E2, D1) on primary molars were randomly assigned to three groups: fluoride varnish only (F), resin infiltration only (RI), and resin infiltration combined with fluoride varnish (RI+F). Treatments were applied according to standardized protocols, and clinical and radiographic evaluations were conducted at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.

Conditions

  • Dental Caries
  • Tooth Demineralization
  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Molar, Deciduous

Interventions

DRUG

Fluoride Varnish

Application of fluoride varnish to proximal surfaces of primary molars following standard clinical protocols to promote remineralization and arrest early carious lesions. Application of resin infiltrant material to proximal non-cavitated carious lesions in primary molars, performed according to manufacturer instructions to arrest lesion progression. Sequential application of resin infiltration followed by fluoride varnish on proximal surfaces of primary molars to maximize caries arrest and remineralization effects.
