Abstract Background Caries risk assessment is an essential element for managing and preventing dental caries in children. Individual caries risk assessment can be conducted to evaluate the presence or absence of single factors, or using multivariate models, a combination of factors. The subject has been extensively studied, but no previous research has compared whether a more elaborate and individualized method of caries risk benefits the patient than more straightforward strategies. Thus, this protocol evaluates the efficacy of two risk assessment methods for caries control in children, a simplified method based on caries experience evaluation and a multivariate method described in the literature. Methods This is a randomized, double-blind, controlled, parallel-treatment trial protocol. Two groups will be tested for two forms of caries risk assessment: an individualized and detailed multivariate method based on the guidelines of the Caries Care International 4D and another simplified process, based only on caries experience in primary and/or permanent dentition, considering the presence of decayed, missing and filled teeth using the DMFT/dmft index. Participants will be children aged 8 to 11 years, followed up at 12 and 24 months. The primary outcome will be a composite outcome representing the number of tooth surfaces requiring operative intervention (account variable). In addition, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test and Student's t-test will be performed. A multivariate analysis using negative binomial regression will compare groups in the intention-to-treat population, considering a two-tailed significance level of 5%. Discussion This is the first randomized clinical trial aiming to compare dental caries-related treatment and follow-up based on a detailed, multivariate and individualized assessment of caries risk in school-age children to a simpler risk assessment strategy based on caries experience. This study will define whether there are essential benefits to the patient that justify the choice of one method over the other. Trial registration Clinicaltrials.gov registration: NCT03969628.

Caries Risk Assessment

Introduction: Ability of an individual to taste phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) substance divides the population in tasters and non-tasters. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between the taste ability for PTC substance with BMI percentile, skeletal maturity and dental caries experience within taster and non-taster children of age 8-12 years. Hypotheses: Tasting ability for PTC affects the BMI percentile, skeletal maturity and dental caries experience and emerge as a useful caries risk assessment tool. Evaluation of Hypotheses (Materials and Method):  One hundred children of 8-12 years were randomly selected and their taste perception was assessed using PTC sensitivity test. Radiovisiography (RVG) of middle phalanx was obtained to determine the skeletal maturity by using Rajgopal and Kansal modification 2005. Anthropometric measurements were recorded to obtain BMI value and then BMI percentile was calculated using CDC Pediatric growth charts. For dental caries assessment, deft/DMFT scores were recorded. Results: The non-tasters had early skeletal maturation, higher caries experience and higher BMI percentile than the tasters. Conclusion and Clinical Relevance: PTC Sensitivity is a genetically controlled trait showing strong association with dental caries. From the results of this study we can conclude that the genetic ability of tasting PTC affects the BMI percentile, skeletal maturity and dental caries experience. Thus it can emerge as a useful caries risk assessment tool helping in planning the preventive measures and interceptive orthodontics in children.

Abstract: Caries still becomes a problem in many countries include Indonesia. Basic Health Research in 2007 showed that caries experience of Indonesian population reach 72,1% and North Sulawesi stand at third rank with 82,8%. Determination of caries activity of individual can be done with caries risk assessment. Salivary flow and viscosity is included in caries risk assessment. Low salivary flow and high viscosity can show the presence of caries process. Hormonal contraception by injection is used more in Indonesia. In 2013 women who use injection KB was 49,42 % and in North Sulawesi was 41,30 %. Estrogen and progesterone hormone compound in injectable contraception are suspected to have ability to increase saliva secretion. Study type was descriptive with cross-sectional design and sampling method with purposive sampling by collect saliva in 5 minute that filled in a container. It is done in Kelurahan Banjer Kecamatan Tikala. The result showed that the majority (43.1 %) had normal salivary flow. Salivary viscosity result showed mostly 61.4 % had injectable contraception users in Kelurahan Banjer mostly had normal flow and placed in medium caries risk category. Salivary viscosity of injectable contraception users were watery category and placed in low caries riskKeywords: caries risk, salivary flow, salivary viscosity, injectable contraception users.Abstrak: Penyakit karies masih menjadi masalah di berbagai negara termasuk di Indonesia. Hasil Riset kesehatan Dasar tahun 2007 menunjukkan pengalaman karies yang diderita penduduk Indonesia mencapai 72,1% dan Sulawesi Utara menempati urutan ketiga dengan 82,8%. Penentuan aktivitas karies pada individu dapat dilakukan melalui penilaian risiko karies. Pemeriksaan aliran dan kekentalan saliva dapat digunakan untuk menilai risiko karies. Kecepatan aliran saliva dan dan kekentalan saliva dapat menunjukkan risiko karies individu. Kontrasepsi suntik merupakan jenis kontrasepsi hormonal yang semakin banyak dipakai di Indonesia. Tahun 2013 wanita pengguna Kontrasepsi Suntik di Indonesia sebanyak 49,42% dan di Sulawesi Utara sebanyak 41,30%. Kandungan hormon esterogen dan progesteron dalam Kontrasepsi Suntik diduga dapat meningkatkan sekresi saliva. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan yaitu penelitian deskriptif dengan rancangan cross-sectional serta pengambilan sampel menggunakan metode purposive sampling dengan cara mengumpulkan saliva selama 5 menit yang ditampung ke dalam wadah. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kelurahan Banjer Kecamatan Tikala. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan mayoritas (43,1%) memiliki aliran saliva normal dan 61,4% memiliki kekentalan saliva yang tergolong encer. Kesimpulan penelitian ini yaitu aliran saliva pengguna Kontrasepsi Suntik di Kelurahan Banjer sebagian besar berada pada kategori normal dan risiko karies tergolong sedang. Kekentalan saliva pengguna KB suntik di Kelurahan Banjer berada pada kategori yang encer dan dikategorikan risiko karies rendah.Kata kunci: risiko karies, aliran saliva, kekentalan saliva, pengguna kontrasepsi suntik
