Trial summary

Study to determine if whether or not exist an association between the tissue loss (ETW progression) and the frequency of an acidic diet. To accomplish the aim, a quantitative analysis of intraoral scans of study models will be performed to identify erosive tooth wear progression in a group of Chilean adolescents.

About this study

Official title: Association Between Erosive Tooth Wear Progression and Dietary Risk Factors in Chileans Adolescents.

Study to determine if whether or not exist an association between the tissue loss (ETW progression) and the frequency of an acidic diet. To accomplish the aim, a quantitative analysis of intraoral scans of study models will be performed to identify erosive tooth wear progression in a group of Chilean adolescents.

First, participants with different intake of dietary acids will be compared in terms of their baseline sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Second, the association between baseline frequency of dietary acids and changes in volume loss over time will be evaluated using linear mixed models to account for the data structure (repeated assessments nested within teeth and teeth nested within children). Models will be adjusted for demographic factors, family socioeconomic position, health behaviours and chronic conditions.

Being tested
No intervention, (observational study).

What participants receive

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

  • No intervention, (observational study).Other

    From every participant the following information was recorded for further analysis:

    • BEWE score- Basic erosive tooth wear examination (from 2 calibrated examiners) to diagnose the presence of erosive tooth wear.
    • Their answer to a validated questionnaire assessing the dietary habits based in the frequency of acidic diet.
    • 2 Intra oral scans (IOS): Baseline and follow up (1 year after baseline) to perform a quantification of tissue loss (in Volume loss per mm3) using Wearcompare software.

What is being measured

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

  1. Volume loss

    Volume Loss in mm3 in patients having a frequent consumption of dietary acids (cut off to decide) Volume loss will be determined by aligning the marker teeth of each participant: 1.1-2.1-1.6-2.6-3.6 and 4.6.

    Measured: 14 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Dietary Risk factors

    Frequency of consumption of dietary acids (Possible cut off: > 1 a day)

    Measured: 14 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Tooth Erosion and Tooth Wear, run by University Ghent at 1 site in Belgium.

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 5 inclusion and 2 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 14 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 Belgium. 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?

Volume loss (time frame: 14 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 14 Oct 2020.
