About this study

Official title: Clinical Evaluation of "Basic Filling" Material in Class I and II Cavities: A Prospective Controlled Clinical Trial up to 3 Years

Evaluation of a new basic filling restorative material.

In contemporary dentistry, clinicians have essentially three types of material choices for direct restorations: amalgam, resin composite, and glass ionomer restoratives.

Due to the toxicity of mercury and the subsequent environmental problems, the search for alternatives continues and search into new composite restorative materials intensifies. Recognized disadvantages of tooth colored resin based restorative materials are as polymerization shrinkage, postoperative sensitivity and technical procedure complexity. Higher rates of occlusal wear and lower toughness are disadvantages of glass ionomer restoratives.

Therefore, alternative materials are being developed to compensate the disadvantages of current contemporary tooth coloured restorative materials. Nevertheless, the search for simplification for restoring missing dental tissues introduced the "basic filling concept".

This project aims to study the clinical performance of this new basic filling restorative material for Class I and Class II cavities. 80 patients are recruited to the project which is carried out at the School of dentistry, Istanbul Medipol University, Turkey.

Read the detailed description

The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical performance of a new basic filling restorative material for Class I and Class II cavities that needs to be restored in permanent teeth.

Basic filling material combines the handling properties of glass ionomer restorative materials with the mechanical properties of resin composite restorative materials.

Extensive laboratory studies have been performed on the new material, but the clinical attributes have yet to be disclosed.

The study will be carried out as a prospective study, with assessment of the restorations after three year.

The project includes 80 patients. Most of the patients have been recruited from the Istanbul Medipol University Dental Clinics in Istanbul.

After giving their consent to take part in the study Class I \& II restorations of both upper and lower molars and premolars are performed

The treatment procedure is:

The patients are offered local anesthetic before treatment start. The cavity is excavated and filled according to the guidelines for composite restorations.

The control procedure is:

The restoration is evaluated according to marginal adaptation, cavo surface marginal discoloration, approximal contact, fractures, caries associated with restorations and postoperative hypersensitivity. The controls will take place after two weeks, one year, two years and three years.

What participants receive

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

  • Basic Filling MaterialDevice

    Also called Dental Filling

    Tooth (teeth) affected by dental caries or with an existing defective filling will be restored using the materials listed (Basic Filling Material). Procedures will be done using local anesthesia. The cavity is excavated and filled according to the guidelines for ordinary restorative techniques.

What is being measured

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

  1. FDI (World Dental Federation) criteria for dental restorations assessment

    2 independent evaluators The primary outcome will consist in the FDI (World Dental Federation) instrument for dental restorations assessment, as it was published after consensus in 2007 and updated in 2010 . This instrument is composed of three dimensions (biological, functional and esthetic), each consisting of several items that are assessed by clinical and radiographic examination according to Likert scales of 5 terms. Some items are evaluated quantitatively, others visually.The worst score of all items is retained as the overall score of the restoration, thus resulting in a single (ordinal) primary outcome.

    Measured: at 3 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Plaque accumulation according to the Silness & Löe (1964) Plaque Index

    0 = No plaque in the gingival area.

    1. = A film of plaque adhering to the free gingival margin and adjacent area of the tooth. The plaque may only be recognized by running a probe across the tooth surface.
    2. = Moderate accumulation of soft deposits within the gingival pocket, on the gingival pocket, on the gingival margin and/or adjacent tooth surface, which can be seen by the naked eye.
    3. = Abundance of soft matter within the gingival pocket and/or on the gingival margin and adjacent

    Measured: at 3 years

  2. Gingival Inflammation according to the Silness & Löe (1964) Gingival Index.

    0 = Normal gingival.

    1. = Mild inflammation-slight change in colour, slight oedema. No bleeding on probing
    2. = Moderate inflammation-redness, oedema and glazing. Bleeding on probing.
    3. = Severe inflammation-marked redness and oedema. Ulceration. Tendency to spontaneous bleeding

    Measured: at 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Basic Filling Material in people with Caries and Unsatisfactory Restoration of Tooth, run by Istanbul Medipol University Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 8 inclusion and 9 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 25 Apr 2023. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

FDI (World Dental Federation) criteria for dental restorations assessment (time frame: at 3 years). 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 25 Apr 2023.
