About this study

Official title: Clinical and Histological Evaluation of Hesperidin Versus Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) as a Direct Pulp Capping Material: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Direct pulp capping technique is one of the oldest known treatments for exposed pulp tissue, and there is a continuous requirement for the most efficient materials to be used in this approach. Successful pulp capping is the usual way to preserve the vitality of tooth and avoid root canal treatment or surgical tooth extraction.

Being tested
Hesperidin, Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA)
Medical subject headings
Dental Pulp Exposure

What participants receive

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

  • HesperidinOther

    Hesperidin is a natural flavonoid with well-known of its anti-inflammatory properties in many disease. Hesperidin in previous studies has been documented to reduce inflammation as well as pain through suppression of cytokine production, NF-κB activity, and oxidative stress. Hesperidin, as a natural product, have been considered as a promising pulp capping material in several invitro and animal studies. However, the regenerative effect of hesperidin as pulp capping material in human teeth has not yet been reported.

  • Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA)Other

    Mineral trioxide aggregate is a cementitious material having various advantages as it is biocompatible, bioactive, osteo-inductive, non-resorbable material with exciting clinical applications, stimulating reparative continuous dentin formation along with maintaining the integrity of the pulp. Moreover, mineral trioxide aggregate provides seal to tooth structure and is of high strength. It is considered the gold standard material for direct pulp capping.

What is being measured

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

  1. Success Rate (Clinical evaluation)

    Teeth with vital pulp (numerical values with electric pulp tester) and absence of clinical signs/symptoms (Visual Analog Score for pain) as one reported value indicating clinical success rate (%)

    Measured: after 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Histomorphometric analysis (Histologic evaluation)

    Thickness of formed dentin bridge (μm)

    Measured: after 12 weeks

  2. Histomorphometric analysis (Histologic evaluation)

    Number of inflammatory cells in pulp (scores for Inflammation intensity/extensity)

    Measured: after 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hesperidin and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) in people with Pulp Exposure, Dental and Dental Pulp Capping, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 6 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 7 May 2024. 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 Egypt. 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?

Success Rate (Clinical evaluation) (time frame: after 12 weeks). 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 7 May 2024.
