Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate

1. the additional therapeutic benefit of Curodont Repair for the treatment early occlusal carious lesions on permanent teeth in children compared fluoride varnish alone
2. the tooth gel Curodont Protect when using it after Curodont Repair instead of fluoride varnish

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate

1. the additional therapeutic benefit of Curodont Repair for the treatment early occlusal carious lesions on permanent teeth in children compared fluoride varnish alone
2. the tooth gel Curodont Protect when using it after Curodont Repair instead of fluoride varnish

Methods: 90 patients with early occlusal lesions (ICDAS-II:2-3) on permanent molars and pre-molars will be allocated in this randomized, controlled, single blinded study to one of the two test groups (Test1: Curodontâ„¢ Repair+Fluoride Varnish; Test2: Curodont Repair+Curodont Protect) or control (Fluoride Varnish) group.

Lesions will be assessed at baseline and recalls after 3, 6 and 12 months regarding caries activity (Nyvad), clinical status (ICDAS-II) and with Diagnodent®. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) in addition to the Global Impression of Change Questionnaire will also be used for the evaluation of the outcome.
