About this study

Auto polymerizing poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA), and light initiated resin modified PMMAs, are commonly used for fabricating provisional restorations (PRs) during prosthetic treatment 1. Biofilm accumulated on these PRs may cause caries and inflammation of the surrounding tissue, tempering the outcome of the final restoration 2. Plaque adherence to temporary restorations was significantly increased compared with the untreated reference teeth 3. Biologic and physical properties of the various materials used as PRs were studied extensively 4-8 whereas their interaction with bacterial biofilm in vivo and ex vivo is less characterized.

One improvement in provisional restorative materials is the use of liquid polish. It is claimed that these materials gives a high luster finish to provisional bis-acryl restorations and processed acrylic appliances, reduces or eliminates costly and time consuming polishing steps and can be used on all types of direct and indirect restorations and appliances.The effect of liquid polish coating or resin bonding coating on biofilm formation on PRs was not reported.

The effect of liquid polish coating or resin bonding coating on biofilm formation on PRs was not reported. In this study we intend to measure, in vivo early biofilm formation on PMMA PRs with and without resin coatings.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing coating a dental restoration material ,polymethylmethacrylate, with liquid polish resin in people with Dental Plaque, run by Hadassah Medical Organization at 1 site in Israel.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 11 Dec 2007. 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 Israel. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

surface coating with reduced biofilm formation demonstrated by confocal scanning laser microscope and scanning electron microscope. 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 NCT00254345, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Dec 2007.
