About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Enamel Surface Treatment Using Sandblasting on the Bond Strength in the Rebonding Process: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Patients at the Orthodontic Department of University of Aleppo Dental School will be selected if they meet the inclusion criteria then fixed orthodontic treatment with 0.018-inch slot MBT appliances will be applied for those patients.

The aim of this study is to compare Two rebonding procedures by applying a split-mouth design. The clinical failure rates of the two rebonding procedures will be evaluated.

Read the detailed description

The sample of this study will be chosen after examination of patients referred to the Department of Orthodontics at the University of Aleppo Dental School then subjects who meet the inclusion criteria will be included in this trial.

An information sheet will be given to each possible candidate. Then consent forms will be obtained.

All patients will receive both rebonding procedures by applying split-mouth design. Each patient will be asked to select an opaque sealed envelope from a box with 20 ones. Ten envelopes will Include instructions for applying sandblasting prior to acid-etching on the right upper premolars and acid-etching alone on the left upper premolars. In contrast, the other ten envelopes will include opposite instructions.

A total sample of 80 premolars will be obtained to study the clinical failure rates of the two rebonding procedures.

The 80 premolars will be randomly divided into two groups:

  • The first group in which the enamel will be prepared using sandblasting prior to acid-etching.
  • The second group in which the enamel will be prepared using acid-etching alone.
Being tested
Sandblasting, Acid Etching

What participants receive

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

  • SandblastingProcedure or surgery

    Sandblasting will be applied onto the vestibular surfaces of the teeth before applying the etchant.

  • Acid EtchingProcedure or surgery

    Only acid etching will be applied onto the vestibular surfaces of the teeth before rebonding

What is being measured

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

  1. Bonding Failure Rate

    Number of brackets loosing their bond to the enamel during the observation period divided by the total number of braces being applied.

    Measured: After six month exactly of bonding the brackets onto the surfaces of the teeth

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sandblasting and Acid Etching in people with Orthodontic Appliance Complication, run by Damascus University at 1 site in Syria.

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 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 28 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?

Bonding Failure Rate (time frame: After six month exactly of bonding the brackets onto the surfaces of the teeth). 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 NCT04606043, which also lists 5 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 28 Oct 2020.
