About this study

Official title: Clinical Comparison Between Zirconia Crowns Versus Anterior Strip Crowns

The hypothesis to be investigated is that no difference will be found upon comparing resin composite strip crowns and NuSmile zirconia crowns (NuSmile ZR) esthetic primary anterior in restoring anterior primary teeth.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to clinically evaluate the performance of a new NuSmile ZR esthetic primary anterior crowns, compared with anterior resin composite strip crowns in the restoration of 120 teeth (primary incisors and lateral anterior teeth in the deciduous dentition of child patients).

What is being measured

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

  1. Gingival Health

    This parameter was evaluated using a blunt periodontal probe (Double ended probe Williams 1-2-3-5-7-8-9-10 Goldman Fox Flat) according to the Löe and Silness gingival index [Löe, 1967].

    Measured: 3-month follow-up

  2. Plaque index

    This parameter was evaluated using a blunt periodontal probe (Double ended probe Williams 1-2-3-5-7-8-9-10 Goldman Fox Flat) according to the Löe and Silness gingival index [Löe,1967].

    Measured: 3-month follow-up

  3. Restoration failure

    This was clinically evaluated with visual assessment of the restoration, according to the US Public Health Service "USPHS", Alpha criteria rating system [Ryge, 1980].

    Measured: 3-month follow-up

  4. Tooth wear of opposing dentition

    Tooth wear was evaluated according to the Smith and Knight Tooth Wear Index (Bardsley, 2008; Smith and Knight, 1984)

    Measured: 3-month follow-up

  5. Gingival Health

    This parameter was evaluated using a blunt periodontal probe (Double ended probe Williams 1-2-3-5-7-8-9-10 Goldman Fox Flat) according to the Löe and Silness gingival index [Löe, 1967].

    Measured: 6-month follow-up

  6. Plaque index

    This parameter was evaluated using a blunt periodontal probe (Double ended probe Williams 1-2-3-5-7-8-9-10 Goldman Fox Flat) according to the Löe and Silness gingival index [Löe, 1967].

    Measured: 6-month follow-up

  7. Restoration failure

    This was clinically evaluated with visual assessment of the restoration, according to the US Public Health Service "USPHS", Alpha criteria rating system [Ryge, 1980].

    Measured: 6-month follow-up

  8. Tooth wear of opposing dentition

    Tooth wear was evaluated according to the Smith and Knight Tooth Wear Index (Bardsley, 2008; Smith and Knight, 1984)

    Measured: 6-month follow-up

  9. Gingival Health

    This parameter was evaluated using a blunt periodontal probe (Double ended probe Williams 1-2-3-5-7-8-9-10 Goldman Fox Flat) according to the Löe and Silness gingival index [Löe, 1967].

    Measured: 12-month follow-up

  10. Plaque index

    This parameter was evaluated using a blunt periodontal probe (Double ended probe Williams 1-2-3-5-7-8-9-10 Goldman Fox Flat) according to the Löe and Silness gingival index [Löe, 1967].

    Measured: 12-month follow-up

  11. Restoration failure

    This was clinically evaluated with visual assessment of the restoration, according to the US Public Health Service "USPHS", Alpha criteria rating system [Ryge, 1980].

    Measured: 12-month follow-up

  12. Tooth wear of opposing dentition

    Tooth wear was evaluated according to the Smith and Knight Tooth Wear Index (Bardsley, 2008; Smith and Knight, 1984)

    Measured: 12-month follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing NuSmile Zirconia crowns by NuSmile company and Composite resin strip crowns by 3M company in people with Dental Caries, run by King Abdulaziz University.

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 7 inclusion and 8 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 12 Jun 2017. 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?

Gingival Health (time frame: 3-month follow-up). The study lists 12 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03184012, 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 12 Jun 2017.
