About this study

Official title: Radiographic Progression of Early Caries Lesions After Resin Infiltration

The purpose of this study is to determine whether lesion infiltration is an effective management strategy to arrest early tooth decay.

Read the detailed description

A 3-year prospective, randomized control clinical trial (RCT) is designed incorporating a split mouth intra-oral design. Young volunteers (18-24 years old) with at least two early lesions in posterior teeth will be enrolled into this clinical trial to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of arresting lesion progression by resin infiltration therapy as adjunct to standard-of-care preventative measures. Lesion status (non-cavitated) is clinically confirmed prior to implementing the assigned therapy.

What participants receive

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

  • Resin infiltrationDevice

    Also called ICON Infiltration kit (DMG, Germany) (ICON=product name)

    Baseline treatment of one caries lesion with resin infiltration therapy, in addition to preventative measures and behavioral modification.

    ICON product: FDA-510(k): K100062

  • Sham treatmentDevice

    Baseline treatment of one caries lesion with sham treatment, in addition to preventative measures and behavioral modification.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Lesions With Progression as Measured by Pairwise (PW) Comparison (N=Lesions)

    Cumulative lesion progression as measured by PW comparison of radiographs (baseline versus 3 year)

    Measured: 3 Years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Lesions With Progression as Measured by Depth Category (N=Lesions)

    Radiographic lesion depth categories: E2 (inner enamel), D1 (outer dentin) and D2-rest (middle dentin or restored). Lesion depth assessment on single radiograph (baseline, 3 yr).

    Measured: 3 Years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Resin infiltration in people with Dental Caries, run by University of Michigan at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 7 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 12 Feb 2019. 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 United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Feb 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Lesions With Progression as Measured by Pairwise (PW) Comparison (N=Lesions) (time frame: 3 Years). 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 NCT01584024, 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 12 Feb 2019.
