About this study

Official title: Prospective, Randomized, Controlled, Double Blind Trial of Two Universal Composites in Posterior Teeth

The aim of this randomized, prospective clinical study was to compare the clinical performance of a universal light-curing, ultra-fine particle hybrid composite with a new version of this product produced by the same manufacturer in Class 1 and Class 2 lesions.

Read the detailed description

A total of 80 (13 Class 1 and 67 Class 2) lesions in 40 patients (21 females, 19 males) with ages ranging between 18-38 years (23.15±5.15) were either restored with Charisma or Charisma Classic (Heraeus Kulzer) in combination with an etch and rinse adhesive system (Gluma 2 Bond) under rubber dam isolation by two experienced operators according to the manufacturer's instructions. Two independent examiners, who were blinded to the composites used evaluated the restorations according to the FDI (World Dental Federation) criteria. Bite-wing radiographs and intraoral digital photographs were taken before and after treatment and at 6 months. The statistical analyses were carried out with McNemar, Pearson Chi-square and Cochran Q tests (p<0.05).

What participants receive

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

  • CharismaOther

    Also called universal composite

    The surfaces were etched using 35% phosphoric acid for 30 s. The etched surfaces were rinsed and dried. Charisma was used in combination Gluma2 Bond etch\&rinse adhesive. The composite resin restorations were light-cured (600 milliwatt/cm²). Occlusion was checked with thin articulating papers.

    Restoration surfaces were finished and polished with fine finishing diamond burs, stones and rubber cups.

What is being measured

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

  1. Observers evaluated the esthetic properties of the restorations using FDI (World Dental Federation) Criteria.

    "Surface luster"; "Staining (surface, margins)"; "Color match and translucency"; "Esthetic anatomical form"

    Measured: The changes at restorations were obtained from baseline (one week after treatment), 6 month, 1, 2, 3 and 4 year.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Observers evaluated the functional properties of the restorations using FDI (World Dental Federation) Criteria.

    "Fracture of material and retention"; "Marginal adaptation"

    Measured: The changes at restorations were obtained from baseline (one week after treatment), 6 month, 1, 2, 3 and 4 year.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Charisma and Charisma Classic in people with Dental Caries, run by Hacettepe University 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 5 inclusion and 5 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 5 Sep 2016. 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?

Observers evaluated the esthetic properties of the restorations using FDI (World Dental Federation) Criteria. (time frame: The changes at restorations were obtained from baseline (one week after treatment), 6 month, 1, 2, 3 and 4 year.). 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 NCT02888873, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 5 Sep 2016.
