About this study

Official title: Effect of Surface Pre-conditioning With Bioactive Glass Air-abrasion on the Clinical Performance of Composite Restorations in Non-carious Cervical Lesions

Evaluating the clinical behavior of composite restorations in NCCLs when the surface is pre-conditioned using bioactive glass air-abrasion has not been reported in the dental literature. This double-blinded randomised clinical trial evaluated the effect of surface pre-conditioning with bioactive air-abrasion on the performance of composite restorations in NCCLs placed using etch\&rinse and self-etch adhesive systems.

Read the detailed description

15 Patients with 100 teeth meeting the inclusion criteria were enrolled in this study. NCCLs characteristics were evaluated and recorded before the placement of restorations. The cavity dimensions in millimeters (height, width, and depth), the cavity geometry (labeled at >45°, 45° - 90°, 90° - 135°, and <135°), the degree of dentin sclerosis , the existence of attrition facets, and the existence of spontaneous sensitivity were measured and recorded in the patient's form. The preoperative sensitivity was also evaluated by applying air from a dental syringe placed 2 cm from the tooth surface for 10 seconds.

NCCLs meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned into four experimental groups (n=25); A: air-abrasion + etch\&rinse, B: air-abrasion + self-etch, C: etch\&rinse and D: self-etch.

Prophylaxis was conducted using a rubber cup with pumice and water. The color of the composite was selected using VITA classical shade guide before applying local anesthesia with Lidocaine 2% with 1:100000 adrenaline. Retraction chord was inserted into the gingival sulcus with the aid of a blunt spatula without excessive pressure to the periodontium. Teeth were isolated with rubberdam. No preparation or beveling of cavosurface margins was performed to the NCCLs.

In air-abrasion groups, a clinical air-abrasion unit was used to pre-condition the NCCLs with bioactive glass 45S5 powder for 10 sec. The operating parameters were; air pressure, 20 psi; powder particles size, 20 µm; nozzle angle, 90◦; nozzle-lesion distance, 5 mm and the internal nozzle diameter, 900 µm

For the etch\&rinse groups, enamel and dentine were etched using 37% Phosphoric acid for 30 sec and 15 sec respectively. NCCLs were rinsed thoroughly for 20 sec to remove the acid. Excess water was removed using a cotton pellet to leave a moist dentine surface. One coat of bonding adhesive was gently scrubbed on the entire enamel and dentin surface for 20 sec, air dried for 5 sec and light cured for 10 sec using LED curing light ( output >800mW/cm2).

In self-etch groups, the bonding adhesive was applied to enamel and dentine for 20 sec with agitation, gently air dried and light cured for 10 sec.

NCCLs were restored using FiltekTM Z250 XT resin composite, placed in 2 mm increments and light cured for 20 s per increment. Final contour was achieved with a fine diamond rotary instrument followed by finishing and polishing using Optrapol polishing kit .

Clinical evaluation was conducted by two trained and calibrated examiners. The examiners and patients were blinded to the group assignment, in accordance with the double-blinding randomized clinical trial design. Each restoration was evaluated at baseline (one week after restoration placement), 3 months and 6 months. This evaluation was conducted according to World Federation criteria (FDI)

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Restoration Retention Rate and Integrity

    The unabbreviated scale title: Restoration Retention Rate and Integrity Scale

    The minimum and maximum values: 1, 5

    Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    1. Restoration retained, no fractures/ cracks
    2. Small hairline crack
    3. Two or larger hairline cracks and/or chipping (not affecting the marginal integrity)
    4. Chipping fractures which damage marginal quality
    5. Partial or complete loss of restoration

    Measured: Baseline (one week after restoration placement), Change from Baseline rate of retention at 3 months, Change from Baseline rate of retention at 6 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change in Marginal Adaptation

    1. Harmonious outline, no gaps, no discoloration 2.1 Marginal gap (50 µm). 2.2 Small marginal fracture. 3.1 Gap <150 µm not removable 3.2 Several small enamel or dentin fractures 4.1 Gap >250 µm or dentin/base exposed. 4.2 chip fracture damaging margins 4.3 Notable enamel or dentin wall fracture 5. Filing is loose but in situ

    Measured: Baseline (one week after restoration placement), Change from Baseline marginal adaptation at 3 months, Change from Baseline marginal adaptation at 6 months

  2. Change in Postoperative Hypersensitivity

    This will be assessed using Dentine Hypersensitivity Scale difference from the baseline values. Tooth sensitivity score was assessed by applying air from a dental syringe placed 2-cm from the tooth surface for 10 seconds.

    The unabbreviated scale title: Dentine Postoperative Hypersensitivity Scale

    The minimum and maximum values: 1, 5

    Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

    2. Low hypersensitivity for a limited period of time,

    3.1. Premature / slightly more intense

    3.2. Delayed/weak sensitivity; no subjective complaints, no treatment needed.

    4.1. Premature/ very intense

    4.2. Extremely delayed/weak with subjective complaints

    4.3. Negative Sensitivity Intervention necessary but not replacement.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Oct 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 Syria. 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?

Change in Restoration Retention Rate and Integrity (time frame: Baseline (one week after restoration placement), Change from Baseline rate of retention at 3 months, Change from Baseline rate of retention at 6 months). 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 NCT04578717, which also lists 9 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 20 Oct 2020.
