About this study

Official title: Diode Laser-Assisted Direct Pulp Capping In Permanent Teeth

The purpose of this study was to compare the conventional and diode 808 nm laser-assisted techniques in direct pulp capping in permanent teeth .The present study was based on a series of ten clinical studies with pulp exposure caused by carious lesions.The hypothesis of this paper was laser supported direct pulp cap-ping has proven effectiveness by its capacity to stimulate reparative dentine formation by pulp cells, de-contamination ability of irradiated areas, its ability in the fast and better haemostatic, and pain reduction.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT01907919
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
conventional group,RM-GIC1. Group A: Five teeth were treated with traditional rotating instruments, the cavities were prepared with diamond drills by turbine, multiple-blade drills by headpiece for removing the decayed dentine and, after cleaning and control of bleeding with cotton pellets with saline solution,RM-GIC (3M ESPE, USA) light-hardening paste was placed gently on the exposed part of the pulp and cavity floor next final restoration with composite z350 flow able and p60 (3M ESPE, USA).
Diode 808 nm laser-assisted group2. Group B : Five teeth cavities were prepared as the same with group one with traditional rotating instruments, hemostatic and cavities sterilization were achieved by a diode 808 nm (Picasso- AMD, USA) laser using following parameters: * Hemostatic: 1.5 W, CW, fiber diameter 400µm, in contact, 2s per 1mm, vertical and horizontal scanning movement on exposure site. * Cavity sterilization: 1W, CW, fiber diameter 400µm, in contact, 2mm per s, circular movement. After hemostatic and cavity sterilization, RM-GIC (3M ESPE, USA) light-hardening paste was placed on the exposed part of the pulp and cavity floor next final restoration with composite z350 flow able and p60 (3M ESPE, USA).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maintenance of teeth vitality was be measured via thermal tests also by radiographic.

    Given low success rate of conventional methods, new techniques as laser-assisted need to be developed.The outcome measure of this study was maintenance of teeth vitality with carious exposed via tertiary dentine formation.the tertiary dentine formation during the time of study was assessed radiological. Therefore vitality of the teeth was depend on dentine formation that was measured periodically in 1,6 and 12 months.

    Measured: up to 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Haemostatic and Bacterial De-contamination, run by Yazdanfar, Iraj, M.D..

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jul 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maintenance of teeth vitality was be measured via thermal tests also by radiographic. (time frame: up to 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Jul 2013.
