Summary
The study was carried out in 88 children with severe early childhood caries (dmfs≥age +1) who
were referred to the investigators' clinic. Patients who completed dental treatment under
general anesthesia in a single session, were included to the study.
Patients were divided randomly into 4 groups and after dental treatment one of the fluoride
varnish listed below was applied to each child. The groups were as follows;
1. Duraphat varnish containing 5% Sodium Fluoride (Colgate) (n = 22),
2. Clinpro ™ White Varnish containing 5% of Sodium Fluoride tricalcium phosphate (3M ESPE)
(n = 22),
3. Embrace ™ Varnish containing 5% Sodium Fluoride with CXP ™ (Pulpdent) (n = 22),
4. MI Varnish containing 5% Sodium Fluoride casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium
phosphate varnish (GC) (n = 22).
Saliva Mutans streptococci (MS) and Lactobacilli (LB) levels, were evaluated by taking saliva
samples before general anaesthesia; one month after treatment and three months after
treatment.
