Digital Radiography in Detection of Recurrent Caries Underneath Chlorhexidine Containing Adhesive Versus Conventional Adhesive After One Year Follow up.
Digital Radiography in Detection of Recurrent Caries Underneath Chlorhexidine Containing Adhesive Versus Conventional Adhesive After One Year Follow up.
This study will be conducted to compare the effect of chlorexidine containing adhesive versus conventional one in prevention of secondary caries lesion underneath composite restoration over one year follow up null hypothesis
each patient will have at least 2 class II cavities.one will be restored using the intervention and the other using the control.
Digital radiographs will be taken and the images will be processed using a digital system. Then the teeth will be evaluated by expert in dental radiology who had no awareness of the results of the visual inspection. The examiner will use a radiograph viewer and a radiographic film magnifier to determine the presence or absence of radiolucency underlying the restoration. The clinical and radiographic examination will be assessed according to the FDI World Dental Federation clinical criteria for the evaluation of direct and indirect restorations The aim of this equivalent trial is to examine if the chlorhexidine containing adhesive is effective as the conventional adhesive in prevention of recurrent caries under resin composite restoration after one year follow up in high caries risk patients with class II cavities. Based on the previous papers by Papagiannoulis et al .,1999 and kohler et al.,2000, the success rate reported was about 95% (absence of caries). If there is truly no difference between the standard and experimental treatment, then 37 patients are required to be 80% sure that the limits of a two-sided 90% confidence interval will exclude a difference between the standard and experimental group of more than 15 %. The sample size was calculated by sealed envelope online.
Data will be analyzed using IBM SPSS advanced statistics (statistical package for social sciences), version 21 ( SPSS Inc. Chicago , IL). Numerical data will be described as mean and standard deviation or median and range. Categorical data will be described as numbers and percentages. Comparisons between categorical variables will be performed using the chi square test. An equivalent limit will be tested. A P -value less than or equal 0.05 will be considered statistically significant. All tests will be two tailed
