About this study

Official title: The Use of LAVA Ultimate Restorations in a Full Occlusal Rehabilitation for Patients With Severe Tooth Wear

LAVA Ultimate composite restorations will be used as restorative material to reconstruct severely worn dentitions.

Read the detailed description

Standard dental treatment will be provided to the patients with severely worn dentitions. Treatment is based on the principles of 'minimally invasive treatment techniques'.

Main difference with the 'standard' treatment protocol and the standard procedure of placing composite restorations is the fully digital workflow. In the traditional workflow a silicon impression is made, after which the dental technician produces the (indirect) composite restorations in by hand. These restorations are then adhesively cemented on the teeth by the dentist. In the fully digital workflow, digital 3D-scans are made using the 3D LAVA scanner (3M ESPE). Based on these digital 3D-images a digital wax-up is made by the dental technician after which all composite restorations (uplays and backings) are designed digitally before being milled and finally adhesively cemented on the teeth by the dentists. An important benefit for the patients is the rehabilitation of their worn dentitions. Functionality (teeth are less sensitive, improved chewing ability, a better occlusal stability, etc) and aesthetics will be improved immediately after finishing the treatment. Moreover, the estimated treatment time will be less (estimated treatment time approx. 12hours) than the traditional methods when using the standard treatment protocol (estimated treatment time approx. 18hours).

Another potential benefit is a better control and more predictable results by using 3D-images with the pre-designed computer simulation.

A risk of these indirect composite resin restorations is the unknown survival rate compared to other indirect as well as to direct application technique

What participants receive

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

  • Rehabilitation of severely worn dentitionsProcedure or surgery

    Patients with severely worn dentition and functional problems are included in this study. Teeth are rehabilitated using indirect composite resin restorations in an increased vertical dimension of occlusion in order to optimize function and esthetics.

Study groups in NCT02957734
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
LAVA Ultimate restorationsExperimentalFor rehabilitation of the severely worn teeth, teeth are prepared (based on Minimal Invasive procedures), scanned using an intra-oral 3D-scanner (TrueDef, 3M), a digital wax-up model is made and finally restorations are milled from a pre polymerized block of resin (LAVA Ultimate). These indirect restorations are then adhesively cemented on the teeth (Relyx Ultimate, 3M). Teeth on which no indirect restoration could be made/designed a direct composite restoration was made using Filtek Supreme XTE in combination with Scotchbond Universal. Furthermore, all anterior veneer restorations are made of direct composite restorations (Filtek Supreme XTE in combination with Scotchbond Universal).
Receives: Procedure: Rehabilitation of severely worn dentitions

What is being measured

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

  1. Surival of indirect composite restorations in patients treated for severe tooth wear

    Percentage of failed restorations and the clinical success of the restorations and the relation of the failures with etiological factors

    Measured: Failures one year after placement

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Rehabilitation of severely worn dentitions in people with Tooth Wear and Dental Restoration Failure, run by Radboud University Medical Center at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Sep 2021. 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 Netherlands. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Surival of indirect composite restorations in patients treated for severe tooth wear (time frame: Failures one year after placement). 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 NCT02957734, 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 23 Sep 2021.
