背景:幼儿龋齿(ECC)是一种普遍存在的牙科问题,影响六岁以下的儿童。传统的修复治疗,如填充物,对幼儿来说往往是具有挑战性和侵入性的。氟化银二胺(SDF)为管理ECC提供了一种微创且经济高效的替代方案。然而,的影响,接受,父母对这种治疗的理解对于其成功实施仍然至关重要。
目的:评估在ECC中接受SDF治疗的影响和水平。
方法:选择了来自Anganwadi中心的32名儿童,年龄在2至5岁之间患有ECC。在确定的龋齿病变上施加38%的SDF3分钟,在三周三个月的召回期后,对逮捕率进行了检查。Likert量表用于有关父母对申请程序的简易性反馈的问卷,牙齿变色,可能与手术相关的疼痛,和SDF的味道。
结果:在本研究中,总共75个表面经受SDF的应用。三个星期后,据观察,这些表面中有64个成功地经历了龋齿阻止的过程。这一发现被认为具有统计学意义,P值为0.021。此外,其余未达到龋齿阻止的表面随后在三个月后得到治疗。这项后续治疗的结果也被发现具有统计学意义,P值为0.027。这些发现强调了龋齿治疗和龋齿阻止与使用SDF有关的功效。
结论:发现SDF是微创的,易于管理,便宜,高效,以及有效的治疗方法来阻止幼儿的原发性牙列龋齿,特别是缺乏合作的患者。
BACKGROUND: Early childhood caries (ECC) is a widespread dental problem that impacts children below the age of six years. Traditional restorative treatments like fillings are often challenging and invasive for young children. Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) offers a minimally invasive and cost-effective alternative for managing ECC. However, the effects, acceptance, and understanding of this treatment by parents remain crucial for its successful implementation.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact and level of acceptance of SDF treatment in ECC.
METHODS: Thirty-two children from an Anganwadi center aged between two to five years suffering from ECC were selected. A 38% SDF was applied for 3 minutes on the identified carious lesion, and the arrest percentage was checked after a recall period of three weeks and three months. The Likert scale was used for the questionnaire regarding parental feedback about the ease of application procedure, tooth discoloration, possible pain associated with the procedure, and the taste of SDF.
RESULTS: In the present study, a total of 75 surfaces were subjected to the application of SDF. After a period of three weeks, it was observed that 64 of these surfaces had successfully undergone the process of caries arrest. This finding was deemed to be statistically significant, with a P value of 0.021. Furthermore, the remaining surfaces that had not achieved caries arrest were subsequently treated at three months. The results of this subsequent treatment were also found to be statistically significant, with a P value of 0.027. These findings highlight the efficacy of both caries treatment and caries arrest in relation to the utilization of SDF.
CONCLUSIONS: SDF was found to be minimally invasive, easy to administer, inexpensive, highly efficient, and effective treatment in arresting caries in the primary dentition of young children, particularly in patients lacking cooperation.
