Fissure Caries Inhibition Study With Solea CO2-9.3μm Short-pulsed Laser - A Randomized, Single Blind, Prospective, Split Mouth Controlled, Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Laser and Fluoride for Dental Caries. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate whether the use of the new CO2 - 9.3μm short-pulsed laser increases the caries resistance of occlusal pit and fissure surfaces in patients in addition to fluoride therapy. This will be quantified by visual exams with the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS II), SOPROLIFE daylight and blue fluorescence, and DIAGNOdent Laser Light-induced Fluorescence. This is a randomized, single blind, prospective, split mouth controlled, clinical trial over 12 months.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
CO2 - 9.3μm short-pulsed laser irradiation will occur on the occlusal enamel surface. This results in changes in crystal composition and structure, which increase the resistance of dental mineral to dissolution by acid and will work to better prevent dental caries in the occlusal surface of vital teeth when compared to fluoride therapy alone over 12 months.
The Fluoride varnish is painted on the occlusal surface of the tooth. Fluoride varnish makes enamel more acid resistant.
