Dentocult SM effectively diagnoses current caries and predicts future tooth decay in young children, outperforming Dentocult LB and Dentobuff Strip. Dentobuff Strip showed no diagnostic capability.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Microbiology
  • Diagnostic Efficacy

Background:

  • Early childhood caries (ECC) poses a significant oral health challenge.
  • Accurate diagnostic tools are crucial for timely intervention and caries prevention.
  • Comparing the predictive value of different chairside tests (CATs) is essential for clinical application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of three CATs: Dentocult SM, Dentocult LB, and Dentobuff Strip.
  • To assess their ability to reveal current caries status and predict caries progression in preschool children.
  • To provide a comparative reference for the clinical application of these diagnostic tests.

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal study involving 82 children aged 3-4 years.
  • Recording oral condition and results from Dentocult SM, Dentocult LB, and Dentobuff Strip.

  • Follow-up examinations after two years to assess caries incidence, dft (decayed, missing, filled teeth), and Caries Score Index (CSI).
  • Statistical analysis of collected data.

    • Main Results:

    • Dentocult SM demonstrated significant variances in caries incidence rate, dft, and CSI, indicating strong diagnostic and prognostic value.
    • Dentocult LB also showed significant findings over the two-year period.
    • Dentobuff Strip exhibited no noticeable variances or statistical significance in detecting caries progression, except in the second examination.

    Conclusions:

    • Dentocult SM is the most effective CAT for diagnosing active caries and predicting its progression in young children.
    • Dentocult LB offers moderate diagnostic capability, ranking second among the tested methods.
    • Dentobuff Strip lacks the detection capability for caries diagnosis and prognosis in this age group.
