This study evaluated the feasibility of using International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS-II) in epidemiological surveys compared ICDAS with WHO criteria. Two hundred fifty-two children (36–59 months old) Amparo, Brazil, were each examined by 2 examiners ICDAS-II or Dmf-t, dmf-s, caries prevalence examination time calculated both systems. was comparable to standard criteria when cut-off point score 3. Examination took twice as long In conclusion, ICDAS-II, besides providing...
A multicentre survey was designed to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 outbreak on dental practice worldwide, estimate related symptoms/signs, work attitudes and behaviour routine use protective measures Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).A global using a standardized questionnaire with research groups from 36 countries designed. The developed pretested during April 2020 contained three domains: 1) data; 2) positive rate symptoms/signs presumably coronavirus; 3) Working conditions PPE adopted...
This in vivo study aimed to compare the performance of different methods approximal caries detection primary molars. Fifty children (aged 5–12 years) were selected, and 2 examiners evaluated 621 surfaces molars using: (a) visual inspection, (b) radiographic method (c) a pen-type laser fluorescence device (LFpen). As reference standard method, teeth separated using orthodontic rubbers during 7 days, by for presence white spots or cavitations. The area under receiver-operating characteristics...
This in vitro study of occlusal surfaces on primary molars aimed to: (1) evaluate the reproducibility Nyvad and ICDAS-II visual systems detecting caries; (2) to test accuracy estimating lesion depth, (3) examine association between system Lesion Activity Assessment system, an adjunct ICDAS-II. Two samples extracted (sample 1, n = 38; sample 2, 69) were evaluated independently by 2 examiners. In this study, evaluation plaque was not possible. Histology 2) used validate depth. Area under ROC...
The resin-based pit and fissure sealant is considered a successful tool in caries prevention, however there growing evidence of its use controlling already established posterior teeth. aim this clinical trial to verify the efficacy sealants arresting dentinal lesions compared partial excavation restorative treatment primary molar Thirty six patients with occlusal cavitated reaching outer half dentin were selected. randomly allocated into two groups: application (experimental group – n = 17)...
This study aimed to compare the clinical performance of two sets visual scoring criteria for detecting caries severity and assessing activity status in occlusal surfaces. Two systems – Nyvad (NY) ICDAS-II including an adjunct system lesion assessment (ICDAS-LAA) were compared using 763 primary molars 139 children aged 3–12 years. The examinations performed by 2 calibrated examiners. A subsample (n = 50) was collected after extraction histology with 0.1% red methyl dye validate depth...
Clinical guidelines advise that dentists take radiographs in children to detect caries lesions missed by visual inspection; however, due the current low prevalence most countries, we hypothesized adjunct methods of detection would not significantly improve primary molar comparison inspection alone. We evaluated performance inspection, alone or combination with radiographic and laser fluorescence pen (LFpen) methods, detecting occlusal approximal molars. Two examiners who had sought dental...
