Caries Activity In Secc Before/After Ga Treatment

To assess the impact of oral treatment performed under general anesthesia on caries risk in children, and to provide evidence for oral treatment and healthcare for patients with severe early childhood caries (SECC). The Cariostat method was employed to evaluate caries activity before surgery, as well as at 3 months, 6 months, and 9 months post-surgery in a cohort of 80 children with severe caries who underwent oral treatment under general anesthesia. The Cariostat values at 3 months, 6 months, and 9 months after surgery were significantly lower compared to those observed prior to surgery (P<0.05). However, pairwise comparisons revealed no statistically significant differences between the groups at these time points following surgery. Oral treatment conducted under general anesthesia can effectively reduce caries activity and enhance oral health among infants suffering from severe dental decay.

Abstract

To assess the impact of oral treatment performed under general anesthesia on caries risk in children, and to provide evidence for oral treatment and healthcare for patients with severe early childhood caries (SECC). The Cariostat method was employed to evaluate caries activity before surgery, as well as at 3 months, 6 months, and 9 months post-surgery in a cohort of 80 children with severe caries who underwent oral treatment under general anesthesia. The Cariostat values at 3 months, 6 months, and 9 months after surgery were significantly lower compared to those observed prior to surgery (P<0.05). However, pairwise comparisons revealed no statistically significant differences between the groups at these time points following surgery. Oral treatment conducted under general anesthesia can effectively reduce caries activity and enhance oral health among infants suffering from severe dental decay.
