About this study

Official title: Impact of the Intermediary Layer on Sealant Retention: A Randomized 24-month Clinical Trial

This study assessed long-term impact of tooth Eruption Stages (ES) on sealant retention on occlusal surfaces previously coated with intermediary bonding layer and it determined caries incidence outcome evolved. The treatment were (sealant/technique): Fluroshield; Helioseal Clear Chroma; Single Bond and Fluroshield; Excite and Helioseal Clear Chroma.

Read the detailed description

The greatest risk of sealant failure occurs soon after tooth eruption, when contamination with saliva and gingival fluid is almost inevitable. The use of an intermediate bonding layer between humidity contaminated enamel and sealant can improve bond strength, reduces microleakage, and enhances resin flow into fissures. The benefit of primer and adhesive layer beneath the sealant seems to be based on a combination of moisture-chasing effects of the hydrophilic primer, increased flow dispersion imparted by the less viscous primer and adhesive and increased flexibility of the combined and polymerized primer/adhesive/resin complex once reaction is complete.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sealant and Adhesive and Sealant in people with Dental Caries, run by University of Campinas, Brazil.

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 28 Oct 2015. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Sealant retention and prevention of dental caries assessed by defined clinical scoring system (time frame: 6-mouth). 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 28 Oct 2015.
