Resumen

This study aimed to assess the different protocols drawn up at Brazilian specialization courses on pedodontics to treat severe early childhood caries (S-ECC). All courses registered in the Federal Council of Dentistry (46) by January 2003 received an eight-question questionnaire to be answered. This questionnaire regarded the clinical decisions in the treatment of SECC. Twenty-four questionnaires (52.17%) were answered. The data were analyzed and displayed in graphs. The results showed that physical restraint is indicated by 83.3% of the courses, and that 58.3% of the courses indicate the use of silver diamine fluoride as a cariostatic solution. Pulpotomy is indicated by 100% of the courses and diluted formocresol (62.5%) is the indicated material. Pulpectomy is indicated by 92% of the courses. The most used irrigation solution is 0.05% sodium hypochlorite (Dakin 62.5%), and a paste with corticosteroid, camphorated parachlorophenol and iodoform is indicated for use as filling material (45.8%). Fluoride is commonly indicated for prevention by 91.6% of the courses, although there is great variation concerning the vehicle and concentrations. Dietary counseling is performed based on dietary habits in 54.2% of the courses. It was concluded that the therapeutic procedures for S-ECC need to be better discussed by the faculty of all specialization courses on pedodontics in Brazil. Although the techniques were similar, there was a considerable diversity concerning the choice of materials. The study and creation of a standardized protocol is suggested to facilitate the use of suitable techniques for the treatment and prevention of S-ECC.
