About this study
Official title: Comparative Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of Casein Phosphopeptide Amorphous Calcium Phosphate Under Glass Ionomer in Atraumatic Restorative Treatment Versus Conventional Atraumatic Restorative Treatment in Primary Teeth: A Randomized Clinical Trial
To evaluate the clinical and radiographic success of using Casein Phosphopeptide Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP) under glass ionomer restorations in atraumatic restorative treatment as a biomimetic approach in pediatric dentistry.
Read the detailed description
With the growing popularity of ART in the field of pediatric dentistry, a great deal of research has been done in recent years. Researchers are keen to explore the rich possibilities and variations of ART technique that can help doctors practice better and do more for their patients. Alternatives include detours to regenerative dentistry, which is becoming more and more popular these days.
CPP ACP is still of great interest in the region due to its remineralizing action. However, to our knowledge, clinical and radiological success involving tissue regeneration by CPP-ACP is understudied. Furthermore, the studies conducted justify the need for further research on the use of CPP-ACP as an indirect material under glass ionomers in ART. Therefore, this study aims to conclude whether CPP ACP has added value in regenerating, reducing pain, and improving repair retention in caries-affected dentin lesions.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
MI varnishDevice
Also called CPP ACP
delivers a powerful dose of fluoride, with the added booster effect of the calcium and phosphate ions through its patented Recaldent™ technology. High initial fluoride release. Minimizes tooth sensitivity and strengthens enamel. Neutral pH of 6,6 enhances enamel and dentin acid resistance and inhibits demineralization
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| MI varnish (CPP ACP) under glass ionomer in ART group | Experimental | Application of a thin layer of casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate ( CPP ACP ) varnish as indirect pulp capping material under glass-ionomer (Riva Light cure GC company ) in Atraumatic restorative technique. Receives: Device: MI varnish |
| Conventional ART | No intervention | Placement of glass-ionomer restoration ( Riva Light Cure ) only in Atraumatic restorative technique. |
