An interventional study of ART and Brix 3000 in Dental Caries in Children, sponsored by Hams Hamed Abdelrahman. Active, not recruiting at 1 site in Egypt. Open to participants aged 4 Years to 8 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-01-06.
Sponsored by Hams Hamed Abdelrahman · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Pain control during dental treatments is the most challenging situations that face the pediatric dentist especially in young and fearful or anxious child. Minimal invasive approach for caries removal includes many techniques to remove caries either by dental excavators, rotatory burs, atraumatic restorative treatment (ART), chemo-mechanical caries removal and smart bur.
Hams Hamed Abdelrahman is the lead sponsor of 111 studies on the registry; 9 are open to participants now.

Exclusion Criteria:
Other: ART
Other: Brix 3000
Other: Carie Move
Other: Smart Bur
The restorative procedure performed in relative isolation and without the use of anesthesia consisted of removal of the carious tissue using hand instrument excavators and dentin
Brix 3000 gel will be applied to the caries lesion using a spoon excavator\*\* leaving gel according to the manufacturer's instructions. After 2 minutes, the gel will turn from translucent green colour to cloudy after the gel removal.
Carie-Move gel will be applied to the caries lesion according to the manufacturer's instructions at second visit in the same child. After 30 second the gel will be removed.
Removal of carious dentin will be carried out employing smart bur II mounted on a low-speed handpiece without water spray. Caries removal will be proceeded until the smart bur II becomes dull after repeated contact with healthy dentin (21) (figure 3)
pain scores
Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale (WBFPS) Presents 6 faces with increasing degrees of pain from left to right. Each face was attributed a scale from 0 to 10 indicated onthe scale. Children were asked to choose the face that best describe his or her pain.
Time frame: Immediately after the intervention
caries removal time
The total working time required for caries removal will be recorded in minutes using a stopwatch
Time frame: During procedure
