Pain Perception of Novel Chemo-mechanical Caries Remove Versus Atraumatic Restorative Treatment Method in Primary Molars
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare pain Perception, patient acceptability, and cavity preparation time between chemo-mechanical caries removal and Atraumatic restorative treatment Method in Primary Molars.
The main questions it aims to answer: "Does chemo-mechanical caries removal show similar results compared to Atraumatic restorative treatment Method in terms of pain perception in Primary Molars?

Gedetailleerde beschrijving
The principles of the caries removal have changed greatly in the last decade. The use of local anesthesia with conventional techniques "high-speed hand piece" increase the fear and anxiety of the child. Minimally invasive techniques reduce the pain and anxiety of the child by eliminating the use of local anesthesia
Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART) is one of the approaches based on this philosophy. It involves the manual removal of carious tissue without the use of local anesthesia or rotary instruments, followed by restoration with glass ionomer cement, an adhesive material that chemically bonds to tooth structure and releases fluoride, promoting remineralization.
Chemo mechanical caries removal (CMCR) is another minimally invasive technique that utilizes chemical agents with proteolytic action to degrade denatured collagen within carious dentin, facilitating its removal without the need for rotary instruments. This technique reduces pain, discomfort, and anxiety, making it particularly suitable for pediatric patients. Additionally, CMCR minimizes the risk of unnecessary removal of healthy tooth structure and may reduce the need for local anesthesia, thereby improving patient cooperation and the overall treatment experience.

Experimenteel: Group A: Chemo-Mechanical Caries Removal (CMCR)
Participants in this arm will receive chemo-mechanical caries removal using REMOVE gel.
The procedure includes cleaning the tooth surface with wet cotton pellets, application of REMOVE gel into the cavity, and allowing it to act for approximately 30 seconds.
The softened carious tissue is then removed gently without pressure.
Remaining Caries become fluorescence under light cure source, and the absence of color change indicates complete removal.
Residual gel is removed using sterile wet cotton pellets.
Finally, the cavity is restored with high-viscosity glass ionomer cement (Fuji IX, GC Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Experimenteel: Group B: Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (ART)
Participants in this arm will receive atraumatic restorative treatment (ART).
The procedure involves opening the cavity and removal of carious dentin using a dental excavator .
The cavity is clinically evaluated using a sharp explorer, and caries removal is considered complete when the explorer does not stick to dentin or produce a tug-back sensation.
The cavity is then restored with high-viscosity glass ionomer cement (Fuji IX, GC Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Pain Perception Measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
Tijdsspanne: immediately after caries removal
|
Pain intensity will be assessed using a 10-cm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). Higher scores represent greater pain intensity. 0: No pain 1-3: mild 4-5: moderate 6-7: Severe 8-9: very severe 10: Worst Pain possible |

Patient Acceptability Assessed by Likert Scale
Tijdsspanne: Immediately after treatment procedure
|
Patient acceptability will be evaluated using a 5-point Likert Scale ranging from 1 to 5, where 1 indicates very happy and 5 indicates very unhappy. Higher scores indicate lower patient acceptability.
