Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: Dental caries is a preventable disease, it can be stopped and even potentially reversed during its early stages.ECC is associated with individual, social and financial costs and significantly impacts a child’s quality of life.Physicians must concentrate on using existing methods to detect signs of early and advanced caries and provide advice on how to prevent and control caries in their patients. The aim of this study to evaluate the effectiveness of CCP-ACP application on restored tooth of ECC patient. Material & Methods: A randomized control trial methodology was used to randomly divide the participants into two equal groups of 30 in each group.All the decayed teeth present were restored with restorative glass ionomer cement following the proper isolation and manufacturer’s instruction. A coating of varnish was applied prior to the initial set of the restoration. Results:Our study showed that the maximum number subjects (almost 70%) was 4 to 5 years of age & 35 subjects were male and 25 were females in both groups.The mean value of colony forming units in control group was 1.719±0.1609, 1.735±0.1893 in case group at baseline and does not significant (p=0.7344) in between groups. The mean value of CFU’s in both group was 1.334±0.1678, 1.156±0.1742 at after treatment & changes of mean value was significant (p=0.0002***). Conclusion: The salivary mutans streptococci count significantly reduction in both groups after treatment with CPP-ACP containing paste. Dentists must focus on utilizing existing techniques to distinguish indications of right on time and propelled caries and give guidance on the best way to counteract and control caries in patients.
