About this study

Official title: Prospective Comparative Randomized Clinical Trial of Three Endodontic Retrograde Filling Materials

This prospective comparative randomized clinical trial compares healing and bony regeneration in patients who received 1 of 3 different retrograde filling materials following microsurgical apicoectomies for the treatment of periapical lesions of endodontic origin.

Read the detailed description

A prospective comparative randomized clinical trial was designed to evaluate the healing and bony regeneration in patients who received 1 of 3 different retrograde filling materials (EndoSequence®, ProRoot® MTA, or Biodentine®) following microsurgical apicoectomies for the treatment of periapical lesions of endodontic origin.

Being tested
EndoSequence, ProRoot MTA, Biodentine
Keywords
Cone-Beam Computed Tomography, Microsurgery, Bone Regeneration, Biocompatible Materials
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • EndoSequenceDrug

    Also called EndoSequence®

    The EndoSequence® retrograde sealing material was used to provide a biologic seal at the apex.

  • ProRoot MTADrug

    Also called ProRoot® MTA

    The ProRoot® MTA retrograde sealing material was used to provide a biologic seal at the apex.

  • BiodentineDrug

    Also called Biodentine®

    The Biodentine® retrograde sealing material was used to provide a biologic seal at the apex.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing EndoSequence, ProRoot MTA and Biodentine in people with Periapical Abscess, run by University of the Pacific.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 13 Dec 2019. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Rate of remineralization (time frame: 6 months). 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 13 Dec 2019.
