Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Early treatment
comprehensive dental treatment
comprehensive dental treatment
Early treatment children were scheduled for comprehensive dental treatment over a 2-month period (from May to June 2007). All test children had their last dental treatment visit within the last 2 weeks of the second treatment month. The follow-up survey was scheduled for each child to be approximately 6-month after their dental last visit. This step was very important to make sure that all children were examined at exactly the same interval between end of treatment and when re-examined at the follow-up examination.
Regualr treatment
Regular treatment consisted of children who would be on a waiting list for regular dental treatment at KFAFH for at least 8 months
Only emergency dental treatment
Regular treatment did not receive any dental treatment in the period when the early children were treated unless they had toothache or dental infection. In that case they were treated for the pain but did not have comprehensive dental treatment
