About this study

Official title: Dental Office Prevention Strategies for Children: 10% Povidone Iodine (PI) Cleansing Prior to Fluoride Varnish (FV) Application

The overall goal of this study is to improve the standard of care in treating young children who often suffer from chronic caries (dental decay). Current standard of care for children under 12 years old includes a dental cleaning and fluoride treatment. Often this dental cleaning includes a 'dental prophylaxis' with a pumice based paste delivered by a small rubber-like cup that rotates on a slow-speed dental handpiece. The procedure of this dental prophylaxis removes the gross levels of plaque around the supragingival tooth surfaces. After this prophylaxis, a fluoride treatment is delivered. The National Maternal and Child Oral Health Resource Center at Georgetown University has published (Bertness J, Holt K) an extensive publication proving that 5% sodium fluoride varnish has become the 'standard of care' for fluoride treatment in children. This study includes this fluoride standard of care.

Prior to the administration of this standard of care fluoride treatment, a separate step of cleansing the tooth after the dental prophylaxis is added. This study uses a cleansing procedure of 10% povidone iodine (PI) cleansing prior to fluoride varnish (FV) application.

The primary aims of this study are:

  1. to measure the changes in overall plaque levels after using a 10% povidone iodine (PI) cleansing prior to fluoride varnish (FV) application.
  2. to measure the short term changes in the oral microbial ecology of dental plaque after 10% povidone iodine (PI) cleansing prior to fluoride varnish (FV) application.

What is being measured

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

  1. Dental Plaque Levels Measures on Scale of 0-2

    Modified plaque index for the mixed dentition scale is 0-2 (0=best 2=worse)

    Measured: 2-4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Dental Plaque Composition Measured by Numbers of Bacteria Present

    Dental plaque is a multispecies bacterial biofilm and the specific bacteria populating this biofilm will be measured. Measurement will be change in thickness of the biofilm

    Measured: 2-4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Single cleansing procedure of 10% Povidone Iodine in people with Dental Plaque, run by University of Minnesota at 1 site in United States.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 10 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Dec 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Dental Plaque Levels Measures on Scale of 0-2 (time frame: 2-4 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02004990, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 10 Mar 2017.
