Summary

Evidence that the data flow analysis tests, there are still no studies that show the clarity of the protocols of its application, including the interval and execution factors of applications, concentration of fluoridation and previous prophylaxis. That is, there are still large gaps regarding fluoride varnish applications. Thus, the objective of the present project is the selection of two protocols for application of fluid applications in active drugs in primary tooth enamel. The longitudinal follow-up will be performed in a period of 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after the procedure. The progression of a subject will be evaluated clinically through the transition of ICDAS scores and assessment of the lesions (sound examination with superficial measurements) by visual examination, and the physician evaluates the efficacy and the ability to evaluate the therapeutic techniques and evaluation. treatment, cost and quality of life of participants

Conditions

• Dental Caries

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	WMP of fluoride varnish	Application of fluoride varnish (drug of the intervention - Duraphat, Colgate) on all teeth, regardless of the lesions found
PROCEDURE	TWLP of fluoride varnish	application of the fluoride varnish (drug of the intervention - Duraphat, Colgate) only on the teeth with active initial caries lesions detected through visual examination after prophylaxis
BEHAVIORAL	DHP (educational intervention)	The control group will receive diet and hygiene guidance (educational intervention) through verbal explanations and teeth brushing practices
