Building Adaptive School-based Interventions for Caries

RecruitingPhase 3

Sponsor: University of Pennsylvania

Conditions: Dental Caries

Interventions: Silver Diamine Fluoride (38%), Glass Ionomer Sealant, Fluoride Varnishes, Hygiene Intervention

Countries: United States

Dental caries (tooth decay) is the world's most prevalent noncommunicable disease. Current preventive and therapeutic treatments are available that can be provided in a school-based health service environment. However, not all children respond to care, and school programs can result in under- or over-treatment, leaving children at high risk. The Building Adaptive School-based Interventions for Caries (BASICS) study will identify the optimal sequence and intensity of these treatments to minimize nonresponse, creating adaptive interventions tailored to specific needs in order to personalize school-based dental medicine.
