Summary

This study will evaluate the effect of the International Dental Federation (FDI) criteria, compared to CARS (Caries Associated with Restorations or Sealants) detection criteria for evaluation of caries lesions around restorations in permanent teeth, in the outcomes related to oral health of adults, in a randomized clinical trial.

Detailed description

The study will consist of a randomised controlled trial of two parallel groups. One group will correspond to adults who will receive the diagnosis and indication of treatment according to the standard criteria, following the FDI criteria to classify the restorations marginal conditions and the presence of secondary caries (traditional group). And the other group will receive a diagnosis and treatment decision according to a minimal intervention approach, using as reference the detection criteria "Caries Associated with Restorations or Sealants" (CARS) - ICCMS (International Caries Classification and Management System) - conservative group). Patient evaluations will be performed yearly after 12 months. The primary outcome will be the number of surfaces restored with the need for new interventions. Secondary outcomes will be the impact of oral health on quality of life and cost-effectiveness.
