About this study

Official title: A Retrospective Cohort Study on Clinical Success of Resin Sealants

This retrospective cohort study assessed sealant clinical success applied to pit and fissure by dental undergraduate students at Piracicaba Dental School - Brazil.

Read the detailed description

A population presenting 1st/2nd permanent molars with sealed occlusal surfaces were considered. Dental records were reviewed for: patient's caries risk (High/Low); operator experience (scores 1 to 4, beginners to seniors); number of follow-up visits; isolation procedure; sealant/tooth type; and age at placement. Posteriorly, the patients were called to dental evaluation and the sealed teeth were classified regarding the sealant presence, partial presence or absence, with or without caries, or sealant replacement to a restorative material in Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory, considering the caries presence/absence. Successful outcome was considered in the caries absence.

What is being measured

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

  1. Probability (%) of the caries development in the treated teeth assessed by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis (Bioestat 5.3).

    Outcome mensuration by clinical examination (caries prevention and retention sealant) and bitewing radiograph.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Dental Caries, run by Fernanda Miori Pascon.

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 7 Jan 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Probability (%) of the caries development in the treated teeth assessed by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis (Bioestat 5.3). (time frame: 1 year). 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 Jan 2016.
