Abstract

HERMIDA BRUNO, Laura et al. Comparación entre la utilización de elementos rotatorios de baja velocidad y tratamiento químico mecánico de caries dentinal en dentición decidua. Acta odontol. venez [online]. 2009, vol.47, n.4, pp.22-30. ISSN 0001-6365.

One of the main objectives during the pedodontics assistance is the use of noninvasive techniques, that allow the treatment of the dental caries without affecting the behavior of the child. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reaction of children and to register its sensations during the treatment of dental caries in deciduous teeth, using low speed cutting rotatory instruments in comparison to the chemical and mechanical caries removal treatment. 36 children participated in the study, between 4 and 8 years of age. A cross section study design was used and each child served like his own control, receiving the two treatment in teeth of the same arches. Each patient one was selected randomly to receive the treatment with rotatory instruments or the chemical and mechanical treatment in the first visit, administered him to it the rest treatment in the second visit. After their treatment, all the teeth were restorated with light-curing glass ionomer. For the objective evaluation of the reaction of the children the Behavior Scale in the Modified Pain was applied. Immediately after the treatment, one asked for the children who filled the form that contained the Wong-Baker’s Face Scale for Registry of the Pain (Face Pain Scale) for the subjective evaluation. The chemical-mechanical treatment demostrated to be more accepted for the children in comparasion to the treatment with cutting rotatory istruments
