Abstract: Objective To explore the efficacy and economic analysis of fluorinated foam and fluorine protected paint on dental caries of the first permanent molars in preschool children. Methods A total of 280 preschoolers with caries in the first permanent molars admitted to Yumen Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Gansu Province from May 2020 to September 2022 were randomly divided into control group and experimental group with 140 cases in each group. The control group received fluorinated foam treatment and the experimental group received fluorinated protective lacquer treatment. Both groups were treated 4 times. The clinical indexes, average number of new caries, average caries surface, total effective rate and satisfaction level were compared between the two groups. Results There was no significant difference between the two groups before treatment (P>0.05). After treatment, the average caries and the average caries surface of the two groups increased, and after treatment, the increase in the experimental group was less than that in the control group, with significant differences (P<0.05); After treatment, the average of newly added caries and the average of caries surface in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); The total effective rate of patients in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05); The treatment satisfaction of patients in the experimental group was higher than that of the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion Fluoride protector is of great significance in clinical treatment. It can not only improve the caries related indicators of the first permanent molars of preschool children, but also improve the total effective rate of children, the satisfaction level of family members, and has significant promotion value.
