Stainless Steel Crowns Versus Bulkfill Composite Resin for Restoring Primary Molars After Endodontic Treatment
A study testing Restoration with Stainless Steel Crowns and Restoration using BulkFill CR in people with Dental Caries, run by University of Sao Paulo at 1 site in Brazil.
Trial summary
The pulp therapy in primary teeth is designed to eliminate the infection and keep the tooth in a functional state until its natural exfoliation. An important step for the success of endodontic therapy is the final restoration, which must seal the tooth, avoiding new contamination. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Stainless Steel Crowns Versus Bulkfill Composite Resin for Restoring Primary Molars After Endodontic Treatment: Randomized Clinical Trial
The pulp therapy in primary teeth is designed to eliminate the infection and keep the tooth in a functional state until its natural exfoliation. An important step for the success of endodontic therapy is the final restoration, which must seal the tooth, avoiding new contamination. Thus, this study proposes to carry out a randomized clinical trial with longitudinal follow-up of two years, in order to compare the degree of success of endodontic treatment in primary teeth restored with two different techniques: composite resin (Filtek Bulk Fill - 3M ESPE) or stainless steel crowns (3M ESPE). Success will be measured by clinical and radiographic features of primary teeth treated with the different restorations after 1, 6, 12 and 24 months. Among the secondary outcomes that will be assessed are the quality and durability of restorations and the cost benefit of treatments. Patients who seek the university clinics and require endodontic treatment will be invited to participate. The sample unit is the tooth and these will be randomized in groups through a randomization list created and distributed in sequential opaque envelopes. The envelope will be opened only after the end of endodontic treatment, to ensure allocation concealment. The data will be statistically analyzed using the Stata 12.0 (Stata Corporation, College Station, TX, USA). The longevity of the treatments will be evaluated by estimating survival rates using the Kaplan-Meier method. Differences between survival rates according to the type of endodontic proposed treatment will be analyzed using the log-rank test. All other clinical variables will be analized using Cox regression. The significance level for all analyzes will be 5%.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Restoration with Stainless Steel CrownsProcedure or surgery
After finishing the endodontic treatment with Guedes-Pinto Paste, the restoration of the teeth will be made using Stainless Steel Crowns.
Restoration using BulkFill CRProcedure or surgery
After finishing the endodontic treatment with Guedes-Pinto Paste, the restoration of the teeth will be made using BulkFill composite resin
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Restoration with Stainless Steel Crowns | Active comparator | Restoration of the tooth after endodontic treatment using stainless steel crown. Receives: Procedure: Restoration with Stainless Steel Crowns |
| Restoration using BulkFill CR | Experimental | Restoration of the tooth after endodontic treatment using bulkfill composite resin Receives: Procedure: Restoration using BulkFill CR |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Endodontic Treatment survival
The primary outcome will be the success or failure of endodontic treatments evaluated through the tooth permanence in the arcade on clinical and radiographic conditions of normality compared between groups restorations (steel crown or composite).
The clinical criteria to determine success are: absence of fistula, absence of painful symptoms, absence of pathological mobility and adequate gingival contour. Radiographically, the success criteria are: absence / reduction of rarefaction and absence / bone thinning in the furcation region later, maintenance of periradicular space, root resorption compatible with eruptive phase and absence of pathological resorption
Measured: 12 months
Need for new intervention
It will be assess the need for any type of reintervention, both for the steel crown group and for the composite resin. Thus, our primary outcome will be measured in accordance with the evaluation of restorations, not only by the failure or not endodontic treatment.
Clinical sucess: no fistulae or abscess Radiographic sucess: Reduction or maintenance of the interradicular lesion; No crypt breakup
Measured: 12 months
Secondary outcomes (2)
Cost-efficacy between the groups
The cost effectiveness of the restoration will be evaluated through consultation that will be timed and cost form developed for the study.
Measured: baseline, 1, 6, 12 and 24 months
Acceptance of the treatments
Evaluate the acceptance of the treatments by the patients and their guardians, using a questionnaire.
Measured: Baseline

What does the primary outcome measure?
Endodontic Treatment survival (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 2 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 NCT03186950, which also lists 4 linked publications.
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 7 Apr 2020.
