Trial summary

In this study we intend to find out the pattern of biofilm accumulation in vivo on various surface finishings. Our intention is to prepare Polymethylmetacrylate squers on orthodontical brackets,then prepare the surface of the sample and measure the surface roughness with a profilimeter and get the mean value in Ra… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: In Vivo Study of the Relationship Between Surface Roughness of a Dental Restorative Material and Biofilm Formation

In this study we intend to find out the pattern of biofilm accumulation in vivo on various surface finishings.

Our intention is to prepare Polymethylmetacrylate squers on orthodontical brackets,then prepare the surface of the sample and measure the surface roughness with a profilimeter and get the mean value in Ra units, then place the brackets on lower premolars and molars for 12 hours, remove them and examine the biofilm formed with confocal scanning microscope.

Read the detailed description

Several studies in the past to assess the effects of surface roughness on the amount of plaque accumulation in vitro, whereas only few performed a modern in vitro assessment of the plaque accumulation. In this study we intend to find out the pattern of biofilm accumulation in vivo on various surface finishings.

Our intention is to prepare Polymethylmetacrylate squers on orthodontical brackets,then prepare the surface of the sample and measure the surface roughness with a profilimeter and get the mean value in Ra units, then place the brackets on lower premolars and molars for 12 hours, remove them and examine the biofilm formed with confocal scanning microscope.

Statistical evaluation of pilot study determined the need to perform this research on twelve(12) candidates. It is our intention to check two materials in each candidate: composite resin and polymethylmetacrylate.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing dental restorative material surface preparation in people with Diabetic and Antibiotic Intake, 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 6 Jan 2010. 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?

confocal scanning laser microscope evaluation of biofilm formation. 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 NCT00256945, 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 6 Jan 2010.
