Abstract
Background: Dental caries is the most prevalent disease in humans, especially during early childhood. The restoration of such an extensive carious lesion should be done properly to reestablish their anatomy and hence their masticatory, phonetic, esthetic, and space-maintainer functions in the dental arches. Composite resins are the most commonly used tooth-colored restorative material, but many difficulties occur particularly when used directly in posterior restorations. The objective of the study was to compare the clinical effectiveness of the Modified Open Sandwich Technique and Conventional Composite Resin Restoration for managing class II caries on primary molars. Material & Methods: This was a randomized control trial and was conducted in the Department of Pedodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from October, 2021 to September, 2022. In our study we included 68 patients with proximal dental caries of primary molars with reversible pulpitis. The patients were divided by using random sampling technique into two groups – Group A (The modified open sandwich technique, n=34) and Group B (The conventional composite resin restoration, n=34). Results: In total 68 patients from both the groups completed the study. In our study we found mean±SD of age was 5.37±1.24 years. 76.5% of cases of the modified open sandwich technique restorations were & 82.4% of the conventional composite resin restoration were < 6 years. Mandibular primary molars were 64.7% and 53% for the modified open sandwich technique and conventional composite resin restoration respectively. Conventional composite resin restorations showed 32.4% postoperative sensitivity and the modified open sandwich technique restorations showed 11.8%. After 12 months of follow-up, no secondary caries developed. Good marginal adaptation in 100% of cases were found in the modified open sandwich technique and 88.2% for conventional composite restorations. Conclusion: In our study we found that postoperative sensitivity developed more in conventional composite restorations in comparison to the modified open sandwich technique. Initially marginal adaptation showed better in the modified open sandwich method technique. So, conventional and modified open sandwich composite resin techniques were acceptable for primary molar teeth considering secondary caries and marginal adaptation
