Effectiveness of Different Preventive Regimens in Cariogram Parameters and DMF Scores of High Caries Risk Patients: A Randomized Control Trial

July 24, 2019 updated by: Howaida Fakhry Fouad, Cairo University
66 Participants will be divided into three groups according to the tested regimen (A), where (A1) represents participants exposed to fluoride toothpaste, (A2) represents participants exposed to regimen including fluoride toothpaste and chlorhexidine mouthwash and (A3) represents participants exposed to regimen including fluoride toothpaste, chlorhexidine mouthwash and MI fluoride varnish. The study will be carried over a period of one year, assessment of cariogram will be done in two visits: first visit (baseline: T0) and second visit (after 3 months: T2). In addition assessment of DMF scores will be done in four visits: first visit (baseline: T0), second visit (after 3 months: T1), third visit (after 6 months: T2) and final visit (after 12 months: T3) to obtain the required data
