ClinConnect Summary

One hundred and four teeth from 40 children aged 6 to 9 years with one or two superficial deciduous molar cavities (occlusal and/or proximal-occlusal cavities), presenting high caries activity, were selected for this study. Fifty-three primary molars were selected for clinical/ radiographical evaluation and 51 primary molars were selected for microbiological evaluation in two different moments.

Restorative treatments For this part of the study, 53 primary molars were randomly divided into Clearfil SE Bond (CB, n = 29) and Clearfil SE Protect (CP, n = 24). All restorative treatments were pe...
