Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Children aged 8-10 with bilateral carious lesions in first permanent molars, good behavior, and ability to attend follow-up visits.
✕Probably not a fit
Children with pulpitis, necrosis, or higher surgical risk may not benefit from this intervention.

What this trial studies
This is a 12-month, split-mouth randomized trial comparing Cention N with resin composite for restoration of bilateral first permanent molars in children. It will measure clinical outcomes, radiographic status, and oral-health-related quality of life. Eligible participants are healthy children (ASA I-II) aged 8-10 with bilateral carious lesions and good behavior who can attend regular follow-ups. The study focuses on the performance of Cention N in preserving tooth structure, preventing secondary decay, and its impact on patient well-being. No results are reported until the study is completed.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the restoration with Cention N could improve long-term tooth survival and quality of life for children needing molar restorations.
How similar studies have gone: Prior research has explored Cention N and other restorative options, with mixed results; this trial adds controlled, split-mouth data in a pediatric population.

Inclusion Criteria: Clinical: 1. Children aged 8-10 years. 2. Children classified as ASA physical status I or II. 3. Children demonstrate positive or definitely positive behavior (scores 3 or 4 on the Frankl Behavior Rating Scale). 4. Children who are available for regular recall visits throughout the study period. 5. Presence of bilateral carious lesions in permanent first molars, with a clear description of lesion depth whenever possible. 6. Asymptomatic vital permanent first molars showing no clinical or radiographic signs of pathology. Radiographic: 1. Normal lamina dura and periodontal ligament space. 2. No apical radiolucency. Exclusion Criteria: Clinical: 1. Children with behavioral difficulties or without signed parental consent. 2. Children are classified as ASA physical status class III or higher. 3. Teeth presenting clinical signs of pulpitis or necrosis (e.g., nocturnal pain, fistula, abscess, pulp exposure, or pathological mobility). Radiographic: 1. Evidence of abnormal radiolucency involving the pulp chamber or root apex. 2. Detection of furcal bone radiolucency or abnormal root resorption.
