Study Summary
The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate whether the use of the new CO2 - 9.3μm short-pulsed laser increases the caries resistance of occlusal pit and fissure surfaces in patients in addition to fluoride therapy. This will be quantified by visual exams with the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS II), SOPROLIFE daylight and blue fluorescence, and DIAGNOdent Laser Light-induced Fluorescence. This is a randomized, single blind, prospective, split mouth controlled, clinical trial over 12 months.
Primary Outcome
Difference in number of lesion changes into ICDAS score 3 (signifying a cavity) between matched case and control teeth (within patient) from baseline to 6 months and baseline to 12 months. The International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) is a visual assessment of the caries levels. The ICDAS score ranges from 0 to 6, with score 0 meaning no demineralization at all, score 3 means a first physical loss of enamel, and score 6 means a huge cavity.
Interventions
- DEVICE Laser
- OTHER Fluoride
