Clini Asses of Retentn,Pt Satisfactn and Recurrent Caries of Endocrs Versus Post Crs Using Reinforced Lithium Silicate

A study testing Reinforced lithium silicate endocrowns and Post retained reinforced lith silicate crn in people with Endodontically Treated Teeth, run by Cairo University.

Trial summary

Coronal retention of the restoration of RCT teeth is usually compromised, thus intraradicular posts combined or not with core material may be required. The drawbacks of the conventional treatment created a necessary demand to have alternative treatment options. Among these options is the endocrown restoration. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Clinical Assessment of Retention, Patient Satisfaction and Recurrent Caries of Endocrowns Versus Post Retained Crowns Using Reinforced Lithium Silicate.

Coronal retention of the restoration of RCT teeth is usually compromised, thus intraradicular posts combined or not with core material may be required.

The drawbacks of the conventional treatment created a necessary demand to have alternative treatment options. Among these options is the endocrown restoration. The pulpal chamber cavity provides retention and stability. Its trapezoidal shape in mandibular molars and triangular shape in maxillary molars increase the restoration's stability. The saddle form of the pulpal floor increases stability. This anatomy, along with the adhesive qualities of the bonding material, make no need for additional preparation or further use of post-involving root canals.

Aim of the study:

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of using reinforced lithium silicate endocrowns on the recurrent caries, patient satisfaction and retention in comparison to post retained reinforced lithium silicate crowns.

The study is held to evaluate recurrent caries,patient satisfaction and retention of endodontically treated teeth restored with Endocrowns versus Post Retained Crowns using Reinforced Lithium Silicate after one year follow up .

The clinical performance of ceramic endocrowns showed a survival rate of 99 % and the success rate of 89.9 % in a 10 year retrospective study done by Bellflamme et al. 2017.

Endocrowns; a recently developed line of treatment, take the advantage of the rapidly growing discipline of adhesion to glass ceramics. As the retention and recurrent caries are decisive factors in the prognosis of a restoration' they have to be thoroughly investigated.

Patients with endodontically treated lower first molars will be collected.after teeth preparation to receive endocrowns and crowns ,secondary impressions will be taken .The Patients will be divided randomly into two groups .One group will receive reinforced Lithium Silicate Endocrowns (intervention)and the other group will receive reinforced Lithium Silicate Crowns (control) retained with fiber posts.

Being tested
Reinforced lithium silicate endocrowns, Post retained reinforced lith silicate crn

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Reinforced lithium silicate endocrownsOther

    Also called endocrowns

    The endodontically treated tooth will be impressed, and an endocrown restoration will be manufactured with reinforced lithium silicate and cemented with self adhesive cement

  • Post retained reinforced lith silicate crnOther

    The endodontically treated tooth will receive a fiber post cemented with self adhesive cement and after this, the tooth will be impressed and reinforced lithium silicate crown will be cemented with self adhesive cement.

What is being measured

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

  1. Recurrent caries

    It will be assessed using United States public health service (USPHS) criteria.

    Measured: one year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Patient satisfaction

    Questionnaire regarding patient satisfaction will be evaluated by the assessor

    Measured: one year

  2. Retention

    retention of the two groups will be assessed using the modified United States public health service (USPHS) criteria (Alpha,Bravo,Charlie)

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Reinforced lithium silicate endocrowns and Post retained reinforced lith silicate crn in people with Endodontically Treated Teeth, run by Cairo 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 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Oct 2018. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Recurrent caries (time frame: one year). 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 30 Oct 2018.
