Objective: This parallel randomized clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of silver modified atraumatic restorative treatment versus atraumatic restorative treatment (ART), comparing their clinical and radiographic outcomes.
Subjects and methods: The study included 50 children 4-6 years of age presenting with occlusal caries (ICDAS 5 and 6) on lower primary second molars. The primary outcome was success or failure based on the code of the ART assessment criteria; radiographic outcome was evaluated based on the pixel grey values on the pre- and post-operative radiographs; pain and parental esthetic perception were recorded, and the OHRQoL (Oral Health Related to Quality of Life) (A-ECOHIS) questionnaire was done pre- and postoperatively.
