Desfechos secundários como descoloração marginal, adaptação marginal, estabilidade de cor e cáries adjacentes às margens das restaurações também foram analisados. Métodos: Este estudo incluiu ensaios clínicos randomizados (ECRs) que compararam as taxas de retenção de LCNCs restauradas com a “técnica sanduíche” com restaurações de RC. A busca foi realizada na Biblioteca Cochrane, PubMed, Scopus e Web of Science, entre outras bases de dados. A literatura cinza foi inspecionada, bem como os resumos da IADR (1990-2017), em andamento e não publicados. A qualidade dos estudos foi avaliada usando a ferramenta de risco de viés Cochrane Collaboration. Os dados dos desfechos primários e secundários foram avaliados por meta-análise em diferentes seguimentos (um, dois e três anos). A qualidade do corpo de evidências foi avaliada usando a abordagem GRADE Resultados: Inicialmente, um total de 3.645 artigos foram selecionados. Após a seleção por títulos, resumos e textos completos, foram encontrados 6 artigos, mas três foram acompanhamentos do mesmo ECR e, portanto, um total de quatro estudos permaneceu para análise. Todos os estudos apresentaram risco de viés indefinido. De todos os desfechos, apenas a perda de retenção foi menor para a “técnica sanduiche” no seguimento de três anos (RR = 7,5; CI95% 2,1 a 27,2; p = 0,002). Conclusões: Maiores taxas de retenção em LCNCs restauradas com a “técnica sanduíche” foram observadas em comparação com restaurações de RC após três anos de avaliação. A descoloração marginal, estabilidade de cor, adaptação marginal e cáries adjacentes às margens das restaurações não foram influenciadas pela técnica restauradora. Com exceção das taxas de retenção, classificadas como moderadas, a qualidade das evidências dos outros desfechos foi classificada como baixa. / Objectives: This systematic review and meta-analysis compared the retention rates of non-carious cervical restorations (NCCLs) restored with the sandwich technique (a lining of glass ionomer cement [GIC] or resin-modified glass ionomer cement [RMGIC] + composite resin [CR]) or CR restorations. Secondary outcomes such as marginal discoloration, marginal adaptation, color match and secondary caries were also analyzed. Methods: This study included randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that compared the retention rates of NCCLs restored with the “sandwich technique” with CR restorations. The search was performed in Cochrane Library, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science among other databases. Grey literature was inspected as well as the abstracts from the IADR (1990-2017), ongoing and unpublished. The quality of the studies was evaluated using the Cochrane Collaboration bias risk tool. Data of primary and secondary outcomes were meta-analyzed at different follow-ups (one; two and three-year) using the random effects model. The quality of the body of evidence was assessed using the GRADE approach Results: Initially, a total of 3.645 articles were selected. After selection by titles, abstracts and full texts, 6 articles were found, but three were follow-ups of the same RCT and therefore a total of four studies remained for analysis. All studies were at unclear risk of bias. From all outcomes, only loss of retention was lower for the “sandwich technique” at the three-year follow-up (RR = 7.5; 95% CI 2.1 to 27.2; p = 0.002). Conclusions: Higher retention rates in NCCLs restorations were observed with the sandwich technique compared to CR restorations after three years of evaluation. Marginal discoloration, color match, marginal adaptation and secondary caries were not influenced by the restorative technique. Except from retention rates, graded as moderate, the quality of the evidence of the other outcomes was graded as low.

A remoção parcial de tecido cariado (RPTC) em lesões profundas de cárie em dentes decíduos tem demonstrado excelentes resultados clínicos, radiográficos e microbiológicos. No entanto, o desempenho das restaurações com resina composta em dentes que tiveram esse tratamento ainda merece esclarecimentos. O objetivo desse trabalho foi investigar a taxa de manutenção de restaurações sobre tecido cariado através de uma revisão sistemática de literatura e de um ensaio clínico controlado randomizado. Métodos: Cinquenta e uma crianças de 3 a 8 anos de idade (28 meninos e 23 meninas) portadoras de ao menos um molar com lesão profunda de cárie foram incluídas no estudo. Os dentes foram aleatoriamente divididos de acordo com os seguintes tratamentos: Grupo controle: Remoção total de tecido cariado (RTTC) e teste: Remoção parcial de tecido cariado (RPTC). Nos casos em que ocorreu exposição pulpar foi realizada pulpotomia. Três Odontopediatras realizaram os procedimentos que foram acompanhados em 3, 6,12, 18 e 24 meses. Todos os procedimentos foram realizados sob anestesia local e isolamento absoluto. No início e no final do procedimento as crianças reportaram sua ansiedade através de duas escalas: Venham Picture Test (VPT) e Facial Image Scale (FIS). O comportamento da criança durante o atendimento foi avaliado através da escala de Sarnat. Em todos os momentos experimentais foram avaliados os aspectos clínicos e radiográficos dos tratamentos e as restaurações foram analisadas por um examinador cego e calibrado através do USPHS modificado.Para determinar as taxas de sucesso clínico e radiográfico e das restaurações de resina composta foram geradas curvas de sobrevida com o estimador Kaplan-Meyer. A distribuição dos indivíduos cooperativos e não cooperativos de acordo com diferentes variáveis independentes, assim como as comparações das escalas FIS e VENHAM entre os três tratamentos, foram avaliadas utilizando-se o teste de Qui-quadrado. Resultados: Quarenta e oito crianças e 120 dentes foram incluídos na análise. Dentre as variáveis analisadas, apenas o tempo de atendimento afetou significativamente o comportamento das crianças (p=0,018). No grupo RTTC ocorreram 15 casos de exposição pulpar (27,5%), enquanto que no grupo RPTC apenas 1 caso (2%). As taxas de sucesso clínicoradiográfico após RPTC e RTTC foram 92% e 98%, respectivamente (p=0,14). Foi observada uma tendência a menor taxa de sucesso clínicoradiográfico em cavidades oclusoproximais (92%) em comparação com cavidades oclusais (100%), porém não estatisticamente significante (p=0,08). Não houve diferença significativa entre os operadores. A taxa de sobrevida das restaurações foi de 66%, 85% e 92%, para os grupos RPTC, RTTC e pulpotomia, respectivamente, após 24 meses, (p=0,09). Quando a taxa de sobrevida das restaurações foi avaliada de acordo com o tratamento e o tipo de cavidade, foi observada taxa de sobrevida significativamente menor (p=0,007) para restaurações do tipo oclusoproximais após RPTC (52%).Por outro lado, os maiores percentuais 10 de sobrevida das restaurações foram observados em cavidades oclusais após RPTC (95%). A revisão de literatura demonstrou que o sucesso das restaurações aumenta quanto menor o número de superfícies envolvidas, assim, cavidades classe I apresentaram em torno de 90% de sucesso e diminui para 50% quando mais de uma superfície foi restaurada. Conclusões: As restaurações de resina composta sobre tecido cariado necessitam de proservação em curtos períodos de tempo para manutenção e reparo. / Partial caries removal in deep carious lesions of primary teeth has been demonstrated excellent clinical, radiographs and microbiological results. However, the clinical performance of composite resin restorations placed over the demineralized dentin need more information. The objective of this work was to investigate the restoration performance over carious tissue trough a literature systematic review and a randomized controlled clinical trial. Methods: Fifty-one children aged from 3 to 8 years old (28 boys and 23 girls) with, at least, one molar with deep carious lesion were included in this clinical trial. The teeth were randomly divided according to the following treatments: Control group - total caries removal (TCR); and Test - partial caries removal (PCR). In case of pulp exposure during dentinal excavation, pulpotomy was performed. Three Pediatric Dentist made the procedures that were followed-up by 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. All procedures were performed under local anesthesia and rubber dam isolation. At the beginning and right after the procedure the children reported their anxiety through two scales: Venham Picture Test (VPT) and Facial Image Scale (FIS). The children behavior during the attendance was valued through Sarnat scale. During the time course follow-up clinical and radiographic aspects of the treatments were evaluated and the restorations analyzed by a calibrated and blinded examiner through modified USPHS. To determine the clinical and radiographic outcomes of composite restorations the groups were statistically analyzed using Kaplan-Meier survival followed by Log Rank. The distribution of cooperatives and non-cooperatives subjects in accordance with different independent variables as well as FIS and VENHAM comparisons between the tree treatments were availed using Qui-square test. Results: The final sample was comprised by forty-eight children and 120 teeth. Among all the analyzed variables, only the time spent for the procedure significantly affected the children behavior (p=0.018) The total caries removal procedure produced 15 pulp exposures (27.5%), while the same event occurred only in one case for the PCR group (2%). The clinical- radiographic success rate after PCR and TCR were 92% and 98%, respectively (p=0.14). It was observed a tendency to lower clinical-radiographic success rate in oclusoproximal cavities (92%) in comparison with oclusal (100%) but without statistic significance (p=0.08). The restorations survival rate was 66%, 85% and 92% to PCR, TCR and pulpotomy groups, respectively after 24 months follow-up (p=0.09). When the restorations survival rate was evaluated in accordance with type of treatment and the type of cavity was observed a significant lower survival rate (p=0.007) to oclusoproximal restoration after PCR (52%). On the other hand, the highest restorations survival was observed in oclusal cavities with partial caries removal (95%). The literature review shows that success rate increases with the decrease of involved surface at the restoration, thus class I restorations presented around 90% of success and it decreases below to 50% if more than one surface are restored. Conclusions: The composite resin restorations placed over caries tissue need shorter follow-up time to evaluate the necessity of being repaired or replaced.

Neste estudo, foi avaliada a resistência ao desgaste abrasivo de uma resina composta, através de três diferentes métodos: do disco retificado, por escovação e do nanodurômetro. Nos dois primeiros métodos, foram utilizados 20 espécimes da resina Filtek Z250 (10 da cor Incisal e 10 da cor C4, ambos fotopolimerizados por 30 segundos cada) e 10 de polimetilmetacrilato (PMMA), atuando estes últimos como padrão de referência. Para os ensaios com o nanodurômetro, foi utilizado apenas um espécime de cada cor, assim como um único de PMMA, em cujas superfícies planas foram efetuadas sete medições, o que foi considerado equivalente a sete espécimes. No método do disco retificado, cada espécime de resina composta era confeccionado diretamente numa cavidade semicircular, localizada na periferia de um disco-suporte; os espécimes de PMMA consistiam em discos constituídos exclusivamente por este material; o desgaste de cada espécime era promovido por um disco de porcelana e seu conseqüente deslocamento era detectado por um palpador; assim, a taxa de desgaste era estabelecida, expressa em milímetros cúbicos por newton por segundo (mm3/N.s). No método de escovação, cada espécime cilíndrico ficava preso numa placa metálica, a qual era fixada no interior da máquina de escovação; sua perda de massa (em miligramas) era verificada através de uma balança analítica. No método do nanodurômetro, existiu apenas um espécime ci líndrico para cada condição, em cuja face plana superior eram feitos sete sulcos (equivalentes a sete espécimes); o coeficiente de atrito permitia estabelecer a respectiva resistência ao desgaste. Para cada método utilizado, os dados foram tratados estatisticamente, através de análise de variância (ANOVA) e de teste de Tukey. Pôde-se concluir que, através do disco retificado, a taxa de desgaste (em mm3/N.s) dos materiais foi: Incisal (0,6807) > C4 (0,5012) > PMMA (0,1439); que, através da escovação, a taxa de desgaste (em mg) foi de 5,40 para Incisal, de 9,35 para C4 e de 5,88 para PMMA, sem diferença significante apenas entre Incisal e PMMA, os mais resistentes; e que, através do nanodurômtero, a resistência ao desgaste abrasivo (expressa pelo coeficiente de atrito) foi de 0,207 para Incisal, de 0,214 para C4 e de 0,281 para PMMA, sem diferença significante agora apenas entre Incisal e C4, os menos resistentes. / Abrasive wear of a composite resin, using three different methods (ground disc, toothbrushing and nanodurometer). The aim at this study was to evaluate the resistance to abrasive wear of a composite resin, using three different methods: ground disc, toothbrushing and nanodurometer. At the first two methods were employed 20 specimens of Filtek Z250 composite resin (10 of Incisal and 10 of C4, both the colors cured for 30 seconds each one) and 10 of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), the latter acting as a reference standard. For the tests with the nanodurometer it was used only one specimen of each color, as well as just one of PMMA, in whose flat surfaces seven measurements were made, what was considered equivalent to seven specimens. At the ground disc method, each composite resin specimen was directly made on a semicircular cavity located on the periphery of a supporting disc; PMMA specimens consisted of discs made up exclusively with this material; the wear of each specimen was promoted by a ceramic disc and its consequent displacement was detected by a sensor; thus, the wear rate was established, expressed in cubic millimeters per newton per second (mm3/N.s). At the toothbrushing method, each cylindrical specimen was trapped in a metal plate, which was fixed inside the machine brushing; its weight loss (in milligrams) was verified by an analytical balance. At the nanodurometer method, there was only one cylindrical specimen for each condition, in whose flat upper face seven grooves were made (what was equivalent to seven specimens); the coefficient of friction was used to establish its wear resistance. For each method, data were statistically analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey\'s test. It could be concluded that, by ground disc method, materials wear rate (in mm3/N.s) was Incisal (0.6807) > C4 (0.5012) > PMMA (0.1439); by brushing method, materials wear rate (in mg) was 5.40 for Incisal, 9.35 for C4 and 5.88 for PMMA, without significant difference only between Incisal and PMMA (the toughest); by nanodurometer method, abrasive wear resistance (expressed by the coefficient of friction) was 0.207 for Incisal, 0.214 for C4 and 0.281 for PMMA, now without significant difference just between Incisal and C4, the least resistant.

The partial removal of carious dentine was studied by means of a literature review and a multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial. The clinical trial compared the effectiveness of an alternative treatment for deep caries lesions and the stepwise excavation in Public Health Services in Brazil. The treatment consists of partial removal of carious dentine followed by restoration in one session. A cost-effectiveness analysis the two treatments was performed. The clinical performance of amalgam and resin restorations placed in deep caries lesions with or without decayed tissue beneath them was also evaluated. Inclusion criteria: patients with ≥ nine years old, permanent molars with deep caries lesions and absence of periapical alterations, pulp sensitivity; absence of spontaneous pain; negative percussion test. The subjects were assigned to: test-group - partial removal of carious dentine (PDR) and restoration, and control-group - stepwise excavation (SW). SW consists of partial removal of carious tissue, indirect pulp capping with calcium hydroxide cement; temporary filling; cavity re-opening after 60 days, removal of the remaining soft carious tissue and filling. Clinical and radiological exams were performed annually. The outcomes were: (1) pulp sensitivity to cold test and absence of periapical alterations, assuming those parameters as indicators of pulp vitality; and (2) success of the restoration. To determine the cost-effectiveness of the treatments, the discounted cash flow method was adopted. The data were submitted to Kaplan-Meier, Log-rank test and logistic regression analysis, P<0.05. There were performed 299 treatments, 146 SW and 153 tests. There were no differences between the groups regarding baseline characteristics - age, gender and family income. The number of teeth evaluated after one and two years were 180 and 122. After one year of treatment performance, the therapy success rates were 97.9% and 74.1% of success in test and control groups respectively (P<0.000). After 2 years of follow-up, therapy survival rates of PDR and SW were 93.7% and 73.3% respectively (P=0.000). A total of 29 therapeutic failures were observed: PDR group - pulpitis (n=3), osteitis (n=1), hyperemia (n=2); SW group - pulpitis (n=15), necrosis (n=6), extraction (n=1) and restoration fracture (n=1). None of the variables studied showed a significant causal influence on the success rate, besides the type of treatment. After two year of follow-up, 181 restorations had been evaluated, 86 from the SW group and 95 from the PDR group; 65.8% were from the resin composite group and 34.2% were amalgam restorations. The survival analysis of the treatment associated with the filling material showed no difference in the rate of success (P=0.564). Regarding the treatment, both groups presented a similar rate of success: SW=95.3% and PDR=94.7% (P=0.928). Resin composite restorations presented 96.8% of success and amalgam restorations presented 94.1% of success (P=0.446). The reason for failure was fracture of filling material. The PDR provides an economy of R$ 143.37 (67.78%) per treatment compare to SW and 2.39% in the overall economy in the annual cost of the public health center. Partial caries removal could be performed as definitive treatment and the procedure of re-opening the cavity to remove the residual infected dentine is not necessary. The maintenance of carious dentine does not interfere in the maintenance of pulp vitality. The presence of decayed tissue in deep caries lesions does not seem to interfere with the survival of the restorations. Performing the partial removal of carious dentine in one session generates benefits for the public finances (direct economy), for the public health services (increase in number of treatments performed) and for the patients (comfort and time).

Métodos: foram utilizados um sistema restaurador adesivo (Single Bond Universal/Z350XT) com e sem condicionamento seletivo do esmalte e um cimento de ionômero de vidro modificado por resina (Vitremer) com e sem tratamento prévio com EDTA, seguindo as instruções do CONSORT. Um total de 200 restaurações foram realizadas por dois operadores em 50 pacientes voluntários. Previamente à execução das restaurações e em cada tempo de avaliação foram avaliados os índices de sangramento gengival, placa visível e CPOD. Todas as restaurações foram avaliadas por meio do sistema de avaliação do USPHS modificado. Dois examinadores calibrados, cegos e diferentes dos operadores realizaram as avaliações nos seguintes intervalos de tempo: inicial imediato (baseline), 6, 12 e 24 meses. Ao final de 24 meses os dados foram analisados pelos testes estatísticos de Friedman, Qui-quadrado, Kappa, Cochran, Wilcoxon e análise de regressão logística múltipla, adotando-se nível de significância a 5%. Resultados: a amostra foi composta de 34 homens e 16 mulheres com idade média de 61,8 anos. Em relação ao CPOD, houve um aumento gradativo e significante ao longo do tempo, havendo diferença entre os quatro tempos de avaliação (p≤0,001). Não teve diferença entre os tempos para o índice de placa visível (p=0,28). No entanto, houve uma redução significativa do índice de sangramento gengival entre o baseline e os demais tempos (p≤0,001). Não houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre os 4 grupos em cada tempo de avaliação em nenhum dos critérios avaliados (p>0,05), assim como não houve entre os 4 tempos de avaliação para todos os grupos (p>0,05). Em relação à regressão logística, embora não tenha apresentado nenhuma variável isolada como estatisticamente significante, o modelo como um todo apresentou-se estatisticamente significante (p=0,034). Conclusão: As quatro diferentes estratégias de adesão em restaurações cervicais não cariosas apresentaram similar desempenho clínico após 24 meses de acompanhamento. / Introduction: the aim of this study, prospective, randomized controlled clinical trial and with blind evaluators was to evaluate the clinical performance of non-carious cervical restorations to different strategies of adhesion for the dental substrate. Methods: we used a restorative adhesive system (Universal/Z350XT Single Bond) with and without selective etching of enamel and a modified glass ionomer luting cement for resin (Vitremer) with and without previous treatment with EDTA, following the instructions of the CONSORT. 200 in total restorations were performed by two operators in 50 patients. Prior to the execution of the restorations and each time, we evaluated the evaluation indexes of gum bleeding, visibly Board and CPOD. All restorations were evaluated using the evaluation system USPHS modified. Two calibrated examiners, blind and different operators, performed the evaluations in the following time intervals: immediate initial (baseline), 6, 12 e 24 months. At the end of 24 months data were analyzed by statistical tests Friedman, Qui-quadrado, Kappa, Cochran, Wilcoxon and multiple logistic regression analysis, adopting the significance level 5%. Results: the sample was composed of 34 men and 16 women with an average age of 61.8 years. Concerning the CPOD, there was a gradual and significant increase over time, difference between the four evaluation times (p≤0,001). There was no difference between the time the visible card index (p=0,28). However, there was a significant reduction of gingival bleeding index between the baseline and other times (p≤0,001). There was no statistically significant difference among the 4 groups in each time any of the assessment criteria evaluated (p>0,05), just as happened with the 4 times of evaluation for all groups (p>0,05). With regards to the logistic regression, although it has not presented any isolated variable as statistically significant, the model as a whole showed statistically significant (p=0,034). Conclusion: The four different adhesive strategies in non-carious cervical restorations showed similar clinical performance after 24 months of follow-up. / FAPESP: 2014/07086-0

O cimento de ionômero de vidro tem mais de 40 anos de uso clínico, com muitas boas qualidades e propriedades de material para forramento e restauração. Como o principal motivo de troca de restaurações é a lesão de cárie secundária, a sua capacidade de indução de remineralização e inibição de desmineralização mostram uma qualidade desejável desse material. Além disso, não se sabe até que ponto o flúor liberado pelos cimentos de ionômeros de vidro é capaz de inibir o processo erosivo. Portanto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a capacidade de inibição dos desafios cariogênicos em dentes restaurados com diferentes tipos de materiais ionoméricos restauradores, bem como avaliar a inibição dos mesmos materiais frente a um desafio erosivo. Foram confeccionados 120 fragmentos de dentes bovinos, que foram divididos aleatoriamente em seis grupos, para serem restaurados com diferentes tipos de cimentos de ionômero de vidro (CIV): CIV de alta viscosidade (Fuji IX), CIV modificado por resina (Vitremer), CIV modificado por resina com nanopartículas (N100), CIV modificado por resina encapsulado (Riva Light Cure), CIV de alta viscosidade encapsulado (Riva Self Cure) e um grupo controle com resina composta (Filtek Z350). Após a restauração de tamanho padronizado, seguindo as indicações do fabricante, os espécimes foram submetidos à desafio cariogênico (ciclagem de pH) e erosivo (ácido cítrico). Microdureza superficial do tipo Knoop das amostras foi avaliada inicialmente. Após 24 horas de desafio erosivo, e 5 dias de ciclagem de pH (desafio cariogênico), uma nova avaliação de microdureza foi realizada para avaliar a perda mineral ao redor das restaurações. Na avaliação estatística, utilizou-se o teste de normalidade de Anderson-Darling e teste de homogeneidade de Levene. Para as comparações, foi realizada análise de variância e teste de contraste de Student-Newman Keuls, com nível de significância de 5%. O desafio erosivo reduziu significantemente a dureza superficial, mas nenhuma diferença significante foi observada independentemente do material restaurador (p>0,05). Para análises do esmalte ao redor, diferenças significantes foram observadas com relação aos diferentes materiais (p<0,001) e distâncias das restaurações (p=0,023). Espécimes restauradas com resina apresentaram maior perda mineral e amostras restauradas com CIV convencional de alta viscosidade e CIV encapsulado modificado por resina apresentaram os menores valores de perda mineral. Em conclusão, os CIVs exercem efeito protetor no esmalte apenas contra desafio cariogênico. / The glass ionomer cements (GIC) has more than 40 years been used in clinical practice, with good qualities and properties as dental material of liner and restoration. Since the main reason of restoration replace is secondary caries lesion, the ability of the GIC in inducing remineralization and inhibiting demineralization are important characteristics of this type of material. Furthermore, it is still unclear if the fluoride released by the GIC is able to inhibit the erosive process. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of inhibition of cariogenic challenge in teeth restored with different types of GIC, as well as to evaluate the inhibition of the same materials concerning erosive challenge. One hundred and twenty samples of bovine teeth were prepared and randomly divided in 6 groups, in order to be submitted to restorative procedures with different types of GIC: High viscous GIC (Fuji IX), resin-modified GIC (Vitremer), resin-modified GIC with nanoparticles (N100), encapsulated resinmodified GIC (Riva Light Cure),encapsulated high viscous GIC (Riva Self Cure) and a control group with resin (Filtek Z350). Knoop microhardness evaluations were initially performed. After performing restorations with standardized dimensions and according to the manufacturers instructions, the samples were submitted to cariogenic challenge (pH cycling) and erosive challenge (citric acid). After 24 h of erosive challenge, and 5 days of pH cycling, new microhardness assessments were performed to evaluate mineral loss around of restorations. For statistical analysis, it was used Anderson-Darling test to test the normality and Levene test to check the homogeneity of the data. To compare the different groups, it was used Analysis of variance and Student-Newman-Keuls post-hoc test, considering the level of significance of 5 %. Erosive challenge significantly reduced enamel surface hardness, but no significant difference was observed irrespectively restorative materials (p>0.05). For enamel analyses, significant differences were observed with respect to the different materials (p<0.001) and distances (p=0.023).Specimens restored with the composite resin presented higher mineral loss and specimens restored with the conventional high viscous GIC and the encapsulated resin-modified GIC presented the lowest values for mineral loss. In conclusion, the GICs exert protective effect only for cariogenic challenge.

The partial removal of carious dentine was studied by means of a literature review and a multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial. The clinical trial compared the effectiveness of an alternative treatment for deep caries lesions and the stepwise excavation in Public Health Services in Brazil. The treatment consists of partial removal of carious dentine followed by restoration in one session. A cost-effectiveness analysis the two treatments was performed. The clinical performance of amalgam and resin restorations placed in deep caries lesions with or without decayed tissue beneath them was also evaluated. Inclusion criteria: patients with ≥ nine years old, permanent molars with deep caries lesions and absence of periapical alterations, pulp sensitivity; absence of spontaneous pain; negative percussion test. The subjects were assigned to: test-group - partial removal of carious dentine (PDR) and restoration, and control-group - stepwise excavation (SW). SW consists of partial removal of carious tissue, indirect pulp capping with calcium hydroxide cement; temporary filling; cavity re-opening after 60 days, removal of the remaining soft carious tissue and filling. Clinical and radiological exams were performed annually. The outcomes were: (1) pulp sensitivity to cold test and absence of periapical alterations, assuming those parameters as indicators of pulp vitality; and (2) success of the restoration. To determine the cost-effectiveness of the treatments, the discounted cash flow method was adopted. The data were submitted to Kaplan-Meier, Log-rank test and logistic regression analysis, P<0.05. There were performed 299 treatments, 146 SW and 153 tests. There were no differences between the groups regarding baseline characteristics - age, gender and family income. The number of teeth evaluated after one and two years were 180 and 122. After one year of treatment performance, the therapy success rates were 97.9% and 74.1% of success in test and control groups respectively (P<0.000). After 2 years of follow-up, therapy survival rates of PDR and SW were 93.7% and 73.3% respectively (P=0.000). A total of 29 therapeutic failures were observed: PDR group - pulpitis (n=3), osteitis (n=1), hyperemia (n=2); SW group - pulpitis (n=15), necrosis (n=6), extraction (n=1) and restoration fracture (n=1). None of the variables studied showed a significant causal influence on the success rate, besides the type of treatment. After two year of follow-up, 181 restorations had been evaluated, 86 from the SW group and 95 from the PDR group; 65.8% were from the resin composite group and 34.2% were amalgam restorations. The survival analysis of the treatment associated with the filling material showed no difference in the rate of success (P=0.564). Regarding the treatment, both groups presented a similar rate of success: SW=95.3% and PDR=94.7% (P=0.928). Resin composite restorations presented 96.8% of success and amalgam restorations presented 94.1% of success (P=0.446). The reason for failure was fracture of filling material. The PDR provides an economy of R$ 143.37 (67.78%) per treatment compare to SW and 2.39% in the overall economy in the annual cost of the public health center. Partial caries removal could be performed as definitive treatment and the procedure of re-opening the cavity to remove the residual infected dentine is not necessary. The maintenance of carious dentine does not interfere in the maintenance of pulp vitality. The presence of decayed tissue in deep caries lesions does not seem to interfere with the survival of the restorations. Performing the partial removal of carious dentine in one session generates benefits for the public finances (direct economy), for the public health services (increase in number of treatments performed) and for the patients (comfort and time).

A remoção parcial de tecido cariado (RPTC) em lesões profundas de cárie em dentes decíduos tem demonstrado excelentes resultados clínicos, radiográficos e microbiológicos. No entanto, o desempenho das restaurações com resina composta em dentes que tiveram esse tratamento ainda merece esclarecimentos. O objetivo desse trabalho foi investigar a taxa de manutenção de restaurações sobre tecido cariado através de uma revisão sistemática de literatura e de um ensaio clínico controlado randomizado. Métodos: Cinquenta e uma crianças de 3 a 8 anos de idade (28 meninos e 23 meninas) portadoras de ao menos um molar com lesão profunda de cárie foram incluídas no estudo. Os dentes foram aleatoriamente divididos de acordo com os seguintes tratamentos: Grupo controle: Remoção total de tecido cariado (RTTC) e teste: Remoção parcial de tecido cariado (RPTC). Nos casos em que ocorreu exposição pulpar foi realizada pulpotomia. Três Odontopediatras realizaram os procedimentos que foram acompanhados em 3, 6,12, 18 e 24 meses. Todos os procedimentos foram realizados sob anestesia local e isolamento absoluto. No início e no final do procedimento as crianças reportaram sua ansiedade através de duas escalas: Venham Picture Test (VPT) e Facial Image Scale (FIS). O comportamento da criança durante o atendimento foi avaliado através da escala de Sarnat. Em todos os momentos experimentais foram avaliados os aspectos clínicos e radiográficos dos tratamentos e as restaurações foram analisadas por um examinador cego e calibrado através do USPHS modificado.Para determinar as taxas de sucesso clínico e radiográfico e das restaurações de resina composta foram geradas curvas de sobrevida com o estimador Kaplan-Meyer. A distribuição dos indivíduos cooperativos e não cooperativos de acordo com diferentes variáveis independentes, assim como as comparações das escalas FIS e VENHAM entre os três tratamentos, foram avaliadas utilizando-se o teste de Qui-quadrado. Resultados: Quarenta e oito crianças e 120 dentes foram incluídos na análise. Dentre as variáveis analisadas, apenas o tempo de atendimento afetou significativamente o comportamento das crianças (p=0,018). No grupo RTTC ocorreram 15 casos de exposição pulpar (27,5%), enquanto que no grupo RPTC apenas 1 caso (2%). As taxas de sucesso clínicoradiográfico após RPTC e RTTC foram 92% e 98%, respectivamente (p=0,14). Foi observada uma tendência a menor taxa de sucesso clínicoradiográfico em cavidades oclusoproximais (92%) em comparação com cavidades oclusais (100%), porém não estatisticamente significante (p=0,08). Não houve diferença significativa entre os operadores. A taxa de sobrevida das restaurações foi de 66%, 85% e 92%, para os grupos RPTC, RTTC e pulpotomia, respectivamente, após 24 meses, (p=0,09). Quando a taxa de sobrevida das restaurações foi avaliada de acordo com o tratamento e o tipo de cavidade, foi observada taxa de sobrevida significativamente menor (p=0,007) para restaurações do tipo oclusoproximais após RPTC (52%).Por outro lado, os maiores percentuais 10 de sobrevida das restaurações foram observados em cavidades oclusais após RPTC (95%). A revisão de literatura demonstrou que o sucesso das restaurações aumenta quanto menor o número de superfícies envolvidas, assim, cavidades classe I apresentaram em torno de 90% de sucesso e diminui para 50% quando mais de uma superfície foi restaurada. Conclusões: As restaurações de resina composta sobre tecido cariado necessitam de proservação em curtos períodos de tempo para manutenção e reparo. / Partial caries removal in deep carious lesions of primary teeth has been demonstrated excellent clinical, radiographs and microbiological results. However, the clinical performance of composite resin restorations placed over the demineralized dentin need more information. The objective of this work was to investigate the restoration performance over carious tissue trough a literature systematic review and a randomized controlled clinical trial. Methods: Fifty-one children aged from 3 to 8 years old (28 boys and 23 girls) with, at least, one molar with deep carious lesion were included in this clinical trial. The teeth were randomly divided according to the following treatments: Control group - total caries removal (TCR); and Test - partial caries removal (PCR). In case of pulp exposure during dentinal excavation, pulpotomy was performed. Three Pediatric Dentist made the procedures that were followed-up by 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. All procedures were performed under local anesthesia and rubber dam isolation. At the beginning and right after the procedure the children reported their anxiety through two scales: Venham Picture Test (VPT) and Facial Image Scale (FIS). The children behavior during the attendance was valued through Sarnat scale. During the time course follow-up clinical and radiographic aspects of the treatments were evaluated and the restorations analyzed by a calibrated and blinded examiner through modified USPHS. To determine the clinical and radiographic outcomes of composite restorations the groups were statistically analyzed using Kaplan-Meier survival followed by Log Rank. The distribution of cooperatives and non-cooperatives subjects in accordance with different independent variables as well as FIS and VENHAM comparisons between the tree treatments were availed using Qui-square test. Results: The final sample was comprised by forty-eight children and 120 teeth. Among all the analyzed variables, only the time spent for the procedure significantly affected the children behavior (p=0.018) The total caries removal procedure produced 15 pulp exposures (27.5%), while the same event occurred only in one case for the PCR group (2%). The clinical- radiographic success rate after PCR and TCR were 92% and 98%, respectively (p=0.14). It was observed a tendency to lower clinical-radiographic success rate in oclusoproximal cavities (92%) in comparison with oclusal (100%) but without statistic significance (p=0.08). The restorations survival rate was 66%, 85% and 92% to PCR, TCR and pulpotomy groups, respectively after 24 months follow-up (p=0.09). When the restorations survival rate was evaluated in accordance with type of treatment and the type of cavity was observed a significant lower survival rate (p=0.007) to oclusoproximal restoration after PCR (52%). On the other hand, the highest restorations survival was observed in oclusal cavities with partial caries removal (95%). The literature review shows that success rate increases with the decrease of involved surface at the restoration, thus class I restorations presented around 90% of success and it decreases below to 50% if more than one surface are restored. Conclusions: The composite resin restorations placed over caries tissue need shorter follow-up time to evaluate the necessity of being repaired or replaced.

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar o desempenho clínico de restaurações bulk fill em indivíduos com molares decíduos submetidos à RSTC (remoção seletiva de tecido cariado) durante 12 meses de acompanhamento. 62 indivíduos (idade média de 5.9 anos ± 1.74) com no mínimo um molar com lesão cavitada ativa profunda em dentina foram incluídos na pesquisa. 144 molares decíduos foram randomicamente divididos em 2 grupos de material restaurador: Resina Filtek Bulk Fill (grupo teste=FBF) ou Vitremer (grupo controle= CIVMR). Os procedimentos restauradores foram realizados por 2 dentistas especialistas em odontopediatria treinados para realização da técnica e calibrados para avaliação do diagnóstico da atividade da lesão e do desempenho da restauração. Um terceiro examinador também treinado, calibrado e contemplando princípio de cegamento, avaliou as radiografias durante o período de acompanhamento. Os critérios avaliados para determinar o sucesso clínico e radiográfico do tratamento de RSTC foram: ausência de dor espontânea e/ ou sensibilidade à pressão, ausência de sinais de pulpite irreversível, mobilidade anormal incompatível com o período de reabsorção radicular. O desempenho da restauração foi categorizado em cada grupo seguindo o critério da FDI para descoloração marginal, forma anatômica, fratura de material e retenção, adaptação marginal e recorrência de cárie, sendo a falha registrada. Os dentes foram reavaliados clinicamente e radiograficamente quanto o tratamento e desempenho da restauração em 6 e 12 meses. Características sociodemográficas foram registradas no baseline e características clínicas como índice ceod/CPOD, índice de placa visível e índice de sangramento gengival foram registrados durante os períodos de acompanhamento. Os dados foram analisados considerando o tipo de restauração, sintomas, número de faces envolvidas, tipo dente, experiência do operador e padrão de sucesso das restaurações. Para determinar as taxas de sucesso das restaurações foram geradas curvas de sobrevida com o estimador Kaplan-Meyer para cada grupo avaliado. O modelo de regressão de Cox com falhas compartilhadas foi realizado para avaliar diferenças nas taxas de sobrevida das restaurações de acordo com o tratamento e características clínicas e demográficas da amostra. Resultados: A taxa de sucesso das restaurações foi de 83,9% (85,9% para FBF e 81,9% para CIVMR, p = 0,675). Não houve diferenças no risco de falha de acordo com material restaurador. Das 23 falhas, três foram exclusivamente pulpar e uma pulpar e restauradora, e 100% da falha foram causadas por fratura de material. As restaurações oclusoproximais demonstraram a menor taxa de sucesso, aumentando em 4,12 vezes a probabilidade de ter uma falha restauradora em comparação com a restauração oclusal. Os pacientes com perfil “cárie ativos” foram associados a mais falhas do que pacientes “cárie controlados”. O grau de experiência do operador mostrou diferença significativa, e o menos experiente teve mais probabilidade de falhas restauradoras. As restaurações de resina filtek bulk fill realizadas em molares decíduos após a remoção seletiva da cárie mostraram uma sobrevida satisfatória de 85.9% após 12 meses de acompanhamento. / The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical performance of bulk-fill restorations in primary molars submitted to SCR (selective caries removal) at 12 months of follow-up. 62 (average age of 5.9 years ± 1.74) were included with at least one molar with active cavitated lesion in deep dentin.144 primary molars were randomly divided into 2 groups of restorative material: Filtek Bulk Fill Resin (test group = FBF) or Vitremer (control group = RMGIC). Restorative procedures were performed by 2 specialists in pediatric dentistry trained to perform the technique and calibrated to evaluate the diagnosis of lesion activity and restoration performance. A third examiner also trained, calibrated and contemplating the principle of blinding, evaluated the radiographs during the follow-up period. The criteria evaluated to determine the clinical and radiographic success of the SCR were: absence of spontaneous pain and / or sensitivity to pressure, absence of signs of irreversible pulpitis, abnormal mobility incompatible with the period of root resorption. Restoration performance was categorized in each group following the FDI criteria for marginal staining, anatomical form, fracture of material and retention, marginal adaptation and recurrence of caries, and the failure was recorded. The teeth were reassessed clinically and radiographically regarding the treatment and performance of the restoration at 6 and 12 months. Sociodemographic characteristics were recorded in the baseline and clinical characteristics such as DMFT index, visible plaque index and gingival bleeding index were recorded during the follow - up. The data were analyzed considering the type of restoration, symptoms, number of faces involved, tooth type, operator experience and success rate of the restorations. To determine the success rates of the restorations, survival curves were generated with the Kaplan-Meyer estimator for each group evaluated. The Cox regression model with shared failures was performed to assess differences in survival rates of restorations according to treatment and clinical and demographic characteristics of the sample. Results: Success rate of restorations was 83.9% (85.9% for FBF and 81.9% for RMGIC, p=0.675). There were no differences in the risk of failure according to the material restoration. Of the 23 failures, three failures were exclusive pulp and one pulp and restorative, and 100% of the failure were to due to fracture of material. Occlusoproximal restorations demonstrated the lowest success rate, increases 4.12 times the probability of having a restorative failure compared to occlusal restoration. Patients with "active caries" profile were associated with more failures than "controlled caries" patients. The degree of operator experience showed significant difference, and the less experienced operator had more restorative failures. Bulk Fill composite restorations performed in molar primary teeth after selective caries removal showed satisfactory survival of 85.9% after 12 months of follow-up.
