About this study

Official title: The Success and Survival of Teeth and Restoration Following Root Canal Treatment With Varying Degrees of Tooth Structure Loss Restored With CAD CAM Restorations.

Advances in digital dentistry coupled with increased demand for aesthetic restorations have led to developments in CAD CAM( Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided manufacturing)systems for manufacturing tooth restorations. CAD CAM restorations have the added benefit of digital impressions which eliminate the need to take conventional impressions, something patients find difficult to tolerate. CAD CAM restorations are now part of routine dental care. However there are no clinical studies evaluating these restorations on root canal treated teeth

This study aims to compare the success and survival of root canal treated teeth and/or restoration with varying degrees of tooth structure loss restored using CAD CAM restorations.

Null Hypothesis:- The amount of residual coronal dentin has no effect on the survival of root canal treated teeth and/or restoration.

Read the detailed description

This study will be carried out at KCL Dental Institute at Guy's Hospital and will form part of the routine dental treatment done at the endodontic postgraduate unit. Potential volunteers will be given written information about the process and be given time to consider participation. Once any questions have been answered, fully informed written consent will be obtained if they are interested in taking part. Patients requiring endodontic treatment with varying degrees of tooth structure loss will be detected, diagnosed and treated by endodontic MClinDent postgraduate students at Guy's hospital using suitable clinical techniques. The teeth will then be restored using CAD CAM restorations. Dental periapical radiograph and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)scans (Morita Accuitomo) will be taken at baseline, 12 months and 24 months. Clinical assessment and radiographical evaluation will be carried out immediately after endodontic treatments have been accomplished and 1 and 2 years post treatment and will be assessed independently by a group of examiners. It is hoped that data analysed from this study will provide a definitive clinical evidence base for the success and survival of endodontically teeth and/or restorations.

What is being measured

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

  1. Success of root canal treatment

    Outcome of root canal treatment assessed using CBCT

    Measured: Upto 24 months

  2. Survival of Ceramic Onlays

    Survival of ceramic onlays assessed using modified USPHS criteria

    Measured: Upto 24 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Main types of failure of restoration.

    Modified USPHS criteria will be used to identify the main types of failure of these restorations.

    Measured: Upto 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Dental Pulp Diseases, run by King's College London at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 7 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 3 Dec 2020. 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 Kingdom. 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?

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?

Success of root canal treatment (time frame: Upto 24 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 NCT03378778, which also lists 2 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 3 Dec 2020.
