Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

The study is a Randomized, Parallel Group Trial Evaluating and comparing two agents namely- Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) and Universal Bonding Agent (UBA) in reducing dental caries and dental hypersensitivity in decayed hypoplastic (weak) permanent molar teeth. Both agents shall be applied in children aged 6- 14 years in MIH teeth with ICDAS scores 1-4. Participant and Outcome Assessor Blinded and same children will be assessed for continuation/ arrest of dental caries and dentinal hypersensitivity at regular intervals of 3 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 9 months. The primary outcome measures of the study are caries arrest, assessed by changes in color and texture, and a decrease in dental hypersensitivity measured by predefined SCASS and VAS scores.

The results indicated that out of 243 teeth, 212 teeth (111 belonging to the SDF group and 101 belonging to the UBA group) were available for follow-up at the end of the 9-month follow-up period. The ICDAS categorization and Schiff Cold Air Sensitivity Scale (SCASS) of the available 212 teeth were recorded. The study also included intra- and inter-group comparison of both agents pre-operatively and post-operatively at 9 months, which was summarized. The statistical analysis showed no statistically significant reduction in the ICDAS scores for both the SDF and UBA groups. However, there was a statistically significant reduction in the sensitivity score (Schiff score) between the pre- and post-values for both the SDF and UBA groups.

The rate of reduction between the study groups showed no statistical difference, indicating that both had a similar effect.
