Brief Summary

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

Aim of the study: To evaluate and compare the clinical cariostatic efficacy of NSF with 38% SDF solution after sex and twelve months in arresting ECC lesions.

The Null hypothesis will be that no statistically significant difference will be detected between the two groups in the arrest of carious lesions in children with ECC.
