Effect of Tailored Preventive Program on Caires Incidence Using International Caries Classification and Management System (ICCMS) A Randomized Clinical Trial

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study will be conducted to evaluate The Effect of tailored preventive program on caries incidence using International Caries Classification and Management System (ICCMS) at a follow up periods of 3 ,6 and 12 months.

Detailed Description
-----------------
A total number of 144 high caries risk dental students were selected based on the applied caries risk assessment method (CAMBRA). In the study group they were given a preventive program as homecare program including tooth brushing 2/day with a fluoride toothpaste( 5000 ppm F) following the instructions in addition to fluoride mouth rinse. For the clinical approach motivational engagement was done by discussing with patients how to improve oral health behavior including amount of sugar, fibrous food and junk food. This in addition to pits and fissures sealant, F- varnish 2 times /year. Recalls up were done at 3, 6 and 12 months by recording the caries prevalence , application of fluoride varnish every 6 months and dietary intake interventions. In the Control group participants assigned to the control condition will be advised to maintain their existing lifestyles. For ethical reasons, if the program shows its effectiveness, it will be made available to all groups at the end of the study.

Primary Purpose: Prevention
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Interventional Model Description: A total number of 144 high caries risk dental students are selected based on the applied caries risk assessment method (CAMBRA). In the study group they are given a preventive program as homecare program including tooth brushing 2/day with a fluoride toothpaste( 5000 ppm F) in addition to fluoride mouth rinse. For the clinical approach motivational engagement isdone by discussing with patients how to improve oral health behavior including amount of sugar, fibrous food and junk food. This in addition to pits and fissures sealant, F- varnish 2 times /year.application of fluoride varnish every 6 months and dietary intake interventions. In the Control group participants assigned to the control condition will be advised to maintain their existing lifestyles. For ethical reasons, if the program shows its effectiveness, it will be made available to all groups at the end of the study.

| Experimental: study group<br>After defining the individual patient's likelihood risk status and the diagnosis for each lesion, ICCMS presents a management element to build a comprehensive patient care plan as follow: In the study group they were given a preventive program as homecare program including tooth brushing 2/day with a fluoride toothpaste( 5000 ppm F) following the instructions in addition to fluoride mouth rinse. For the clinical approach motivational engagement was done by discussing with patients how to improve oral health behavior including amount of sugar, fibrous food and junk food. This in addition to pits and fissures sealant, F- varnish 2 times /year. and application of fluoride varnish every 6 months and dietary intake interventions. | Other: tailored preventive program<br>* In the study group they were given a preventive program as homecare program including tooth brushing 2/day with a fluoride toothpaste( 5000 ppm F) following the instructions in addition to fluoride mouth rinse.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Incidence of dental caires | ICCMS caries index Before the dental educational program, an oral examination will be done for the patient. Examination will be done by using mouth mirror and probe in natural day light. The educational program and outcome assessment will be assessed by ICCMS three times (immediately, three and six months) as the follow: Score 0 Tooth surfaces show no evidence of visible caries (no or questionable change in enamel translucency). Score 1 First or distinct visual changes in enamel seen as a carious opacity or visible discolouration not consistent with clinical appearance of sound enamel and which show no evidence of surface breakdown or underlying dentine shadowing. Score 2 A white or brown spot lesion with Localised enamel breakdown, without visible dentine exposure. Extensive stage Score 3 A distinct cavity in opaque or discoloured enamel with visible dentine. | baseline |
