1 Scottish Dental Clinical Effectiveness Programme SDcep Prevention and Management of Dental Caries in Children Guidance in Brief April 2010
2 Scottish Dental Clinical Effectiveness Programme SDcep The Scottish Dental Clinical Effectiveness Programme (SDCEP) is an initiative of the National Dental Advisory Committee (NDAC) and is supported by the Scottish Government and NHS Education for Scotland. The Programme aims to provide userfriendly, evidence-based guidance for the dental profession in Scotland. SDCEP guidance is designed to help the dental team provide improved care for patients by bringing together, in a structured manner, the best available information that is relevant to priority areas in dentistry, and presenting this information in a form that can be interpreted easily and implemented. Supporting the dental team to provide quality patient care

5 Overarching Principles Refer to Section 2 of the full guidance Prevention and Management of Dental Caries in Children is designed to assist and support primary care practitioners and their teams in improving and maintaining the oral health of their child patients from birth up to the age of 16 years. The aims when providing dental care for children are: to keep the primary and permanent dentition free from disease; to reduce the risk of the child experiencing pain or sepsis or acquiring treatment-induced dental anxiety if dental caries does occur; for the child to grow up feeling positive about their oral health and with the skills and motivation to maintain it. To achieve these aims, the priorities for the dental team are: to encourage the child s parent/carer to take responsibility for their child s oral health, implement preventive advice at home and meet their obligations to bring their child for dental care; to apply the full range of preventive measures to the highest standard possible; to focus on prevention of caries in the permanent dentition before management of caries in the primary dentition; if caries in the permanent dentition does occur, to diagnose it early, and manage it appropriately; to manage caries in the primary dentition using an appropriate technique that maximises the chance of the tooth exfoliating without causing pain or sepsis, while minimising the risk of treatment-induced anxiety; to identify as early as possible those children where there is doubt or evidence about a parent/carer s ability to comply with dental health preventive advice, support or treatment uptake, and to contact and work collaboratively with other agencies, especially the child s named Health Visitor, School Nurse or General Medical Practitioner. 1
6 Overarching Principles In practice, the prevention and management of dental caries in children comprises several stages as illustrated below. Each stage of delivering care is outlined in this summary of the guidance. For a full appreciation of the recommendations and further advice on following them, refer to the sections within the full guidance that are cited within this Guidance in Brief. A Care Checklist is provided on page 12. Assessing The Child Section 3 Defining Needs and Developing a Personal Care Plan Section 4 Providing Additional Support Section 13 Providing Care Helping Children Accept Care Section 10 Caries Prevention Section 6 if child is in pain if caries is present Managing Pain Section 5 Managing Caries Sections 7, 8 & 9 Referral Section 11 Suspected Dental Neglect Section 13 Recall Section 12 The full guidance can be downloaded at 2
7 Assessing the Child Refer to Section 3 of the full guidance Gain rapport with both the child and the parent/carer. Parent/carers are fundamental to improving the child s oral health. Communicate effectively with the child and the parent/carer, remembering not to talk over the child. Parent/Carer Motivation and Ability to Take Responsibility Assess the ability and motivation of the parent/carer, and the child if old enough, to take responsibility for the child s oral health. Encourage parent/carers to take responsibility for their child s oral health and caries prevention and reinforce this throughout your care of the child. Contact the child s Health Visitor or School Nurse as early as possible if multidisciplinary support is required. Consider whether dental neglect is a concern, and take appropriate action if necessary (refer to Section 13 of the full guidance). Taking a History Take a thorough medical, dental and social history that includes asking about current brushing practice, dietary habits and previous experience of any treatment. Use the information gathered to inform your assessment of the child and/or parent/carer s attitude towards oral health and their ability and motivation to take responsibility for it. 3
8 Assessing the Child Clinical Assessment Assess the child s plaque levels and discuss this with the child and the parent/carer. Carry out a meticulous clinical examination for the presence of caries. Include radiographic examination at the appropriate intervals unless there is a valid reason not to; record this in the patient s notes. Assess for pain and signs and symptoms of dental sepsis (e.g. swelling, sinus, nonphysiological mobility); if identified, ensure it is managed. For the primary dentition, assess the risk of any carious lesions causing pain or sepsis, prior to exfoliation, before deciding on a management option. Caries Risk Assessment Assess if the child is at increased caries risk (patient history, previous caries experience, resident in an area of deprivation, healthcare worker s opinion) and use this to inform the frequency of review radiographs, preventive care provided and the recall interval. 4
9 Defining Needs and Developing a Personal Care Plan Refer to Section 4 of the full guidance Agree a personal care plan and the visits required with the parent/carer. If required, contact the child s Health Visitor to arrange home and community support for preventive interventions. Provide care in the following order: manage pain (if present), provide caries prevention for all children, manage caries/asymptomatic sepsis (if present). Prioritise maintaining the first and second permanent molars caries-free over managing caries in the primary dentition. Managing Pain (if present) Refer to Section 5 of the full guidance Diagnose pain (reversible pulpitis, irreversible pulpitis or dental abscess) and manage it promptly. Avoid dental extractions on a child s first visit if at all possible. 5
10 Caries Prevention Refer to Section 6 of the full guidance Consider action planning to improve compliance with preventive advice. Standard Prevention for all children Give toothbrushing advice at least once a year: Brush at least twice daily, in the morning and last thing at night, Use the correct amount of a toothpaste with age-appropriate fluoride concentration: Under 3 years old: use a small smear of paste containing not less than 1000 ppm fluoride 3 6 years inclusive: use a pea-sized amount of paste containing not less than 1000 ppm fluoride 7 years old or over: use paste containing ppm fluoride Spit, don t rinse. Help children under 7 years old and continue to supervise older children until confident in their brushing habits. In the early stages of providing care give hands-on brushing instruction. Give dietary advice at least once a year: Restrict foods and drinks containing sugar to meal times. Drink only water or milk between meals. Snack on sugar free snacks (e.g. fresh fruit, carrots, peppers, breadsticks, occasionally a little cheese). Do not eat or drink after brushing at night. Be aware of hidden sugars in some foods and the acid content of drinks. Apply sodium fluoride varnish (5%) twice a year to children over 2 years of age (see note below). Note A child who has been hospitalised due to severe asthma or allergy or who is allergic to sticking plaster may be at risk of an allergic reaction to varnishes containing colophony. In these cases, use an alternative colophony-free varnish or suggest use of other topical fluoride preparations. 6
11 Caries Prevention Enhanced Prevention for children at increased risk of caries Provide Standard Prevention at each recall visit (toothbrushing and diet advice and apply fluoride varnish as above). Give hands-on brushing instruction at least once a year. Consider: recommending ppm fluoride toothpaste for children over 3 years old the use of toothbrushing charts and disclosing tablets, and providing free toothpaste and a free toothbrush encouraging motivated parents/carers to floss the child s teeth at the D/E/6 contacts immediately after brushing 2 or 3 times per week, particularly if enamel-only caries is present on the mesial of 6s prescribing 2800 ppm fluoride toothpaste for children over 10 years old Consider the use of toothbrushing charts and food and drink diaries. Apply sodium fluoride varnish (5%) an additional 1-2 times per year to children over 2 years of age unless provided via Childsmile in nursery or school (see note). Place resin fissure sealants in susceptible pits and fissures. If necessary, consider using glass ionomer cement as a temporary sealant. If unable to provide fissure sealants because of the child being precooperative or learning disabled, then refer the child to have this treatment provided. Check existing sealants visually for wear and physically with a probe for integrity/ leakage at every recall visit. Top up worn sealants if the child is still at increased risk of caries. Consider collaboration with the Health Visitor or School Nurse to provide community/ home support for preventive interventions. 7
12 Management of Caries in Permanent Molars Refer to Sections 7 & 9 of the full guidance For carious occlusal pits and fissures on first and second permanent molars If fissure caries is suspected, only restore if there is either: microcavitation or shadowing visible under the enamel adjacent to the fissure after cleaning and drying the tooth or dentinal caries clearly visible on a bitewing radiograph In any of these cases, remove caries, place a restoration, and seal the remaining fissures. Otherwise place a fissure sealant alone, and review the tooth at every recall visit. For carious approximal surfaces on first and second permanent molars Make it a priority to identify and arrest early enamel-only lesions on the mesial surface of 6s by: applying fluoride varnish, and monitoring for progression with bitewing radiographs; ensuring parent/carers are aware of the potential impact on their child s oral health, and encouraging them to floss or use floss wands on the 6/E contact 2 3 times a week; if the distal of the E is carious, considering managing the E with either a restoration, a Hall crown or slice preparation (taking care to avoid iatrogenic damage to the 6), or even extraction of the E. For first permanent molars of poor prognosis At around the age of 9 years, make an assessment of the likely prognosis of any 6s affected by caries. If prognosis is poor, consider planned loss. 8
13 Management of Caries in Primary Teeth Refer to Sections 8 & 9 of the full guidance Available management strategies include: complete caries removal partial caries removal no caries removal, seal with restoration no caries removal, provide prevention-alone or after first making the lesion self-cleansing extraction or review, with extraction only if pain or sepsis develops Choose management options for carious primary teeth that balance a reduction in the risk of pain or sepsis from the tooth in the future with the child s ability to accept treatment now. Avoid operative interventions involving local anaesthetic until the child can cope. Do not use conventional glass ionomer cements for Class II restorations. Manage a primary tooth that is associated with sepsis (signs or symptoms of abscess, sinus, inter-radicular radiolucency, non-physiological mobility) with either a pulp therapy or an extraction; do not leave sepsis untreated. Closely monitor lesions managed with prevention only. Do not leave active caries in primary teeth unmanaged. 9
14 Helping Children Accept Treatment and Referral Refer to Sections 10 & 11 of the full guidance Use good behavioural management techniques to help children accept treatment. If this is unsuccessful, ensure that the child is referred to the appropriate service to receive care. Ensure that the child s dental pain is relieved before referring. Include all relevant information in the referral letter. Recall Refer to Section 12 of the full guidance Assign a recall interval that is based on caries risk and is specific to the oral health needs of the child. If caries is not being effectively controlled, consider the need for additional multidisciplinary support. 10

Advantages Disadvantages Evidence, largely from secondary care and As caries is left in the cavity, the marginal private practice, that this approach can be seal must be effective to prevent caries effective 25. progression. Reduced risk of pulpal exposure. No evidence, as yet, that this approach is effective in Primary Care. Reduced time for cavity preparation, and less need for local anaesthesia. Particularly suited to ART approach. As it is imperative to obtain a complete marginal seal to slow or arrest caries progression, the use of plastic adhesive materials is likely to be most successful on Class I lesions, with preformed metal crowns being the preferred option for Class II lesions. Technique for primary molars If necessary, gain access to caries using a high-speed handpiece. As this approach rarely requires the cutting of sound dentine, local anaesthetic is usually unnecessary. Remove superficial caries with a slow-speed handpiece or excavators, until there is no obvious caries visible at the enamel-dentine junction and the cavity allows an adequate thickness of restorative material to be placed. 10 Helping Children Accept Care Prevention and Management of Dental Caries in Children Take extra care not to cause iatrogenic damage to adjacent teeth if cutting a Class II cavity (see Section 9.3). Placing a matrix band around the adjacent tooth may help. Be aware of the pulp chamber anatomy to reduce the risk of pulpal exposure. flowcharts for decision making about prevention and management options Consider referral for inhalation sedation or GA and continue Enhanced Prevention Is there a need for early extraction of carious teeth?
