Glass Ionomer Sealant and Fluoride Varnish Randomized Clinical Trial
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Fluoride Varnish and Glass Ionomer Sealant for Dental Caries. Completed, enrolled 597 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this project is to conduct a community-based randomized clinical trial to compare the caries prevention efficacy of fluoride varnish applied every six months vs. fluoride varnish applied every six months and fluoride releasing glass ionomer sealants applied annually to the eligible occlusal surfaces of primary molars in 3-6-year-old children.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Topical application of 0.25mL of fluoride varnish on each dental arch (upper and lower) at baseline and every 6 months.
Fluoroaluminosilicate glass powder and polyacrylic acid liquid are mixed together in a capsule to form the glass ionomer sealant material. After toothbrushing and conditioning dental surfaces with 20% polyacrylic acid for 10 seconds, pink-colored fluoride releasing glass ionomer dispensed from a capsule is applied to the occlusal (biting) surface of the molar.
