About this study

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of shortening the etching time on the 18-month clinical performance of resin composite restorations in primary molars after partial carious removal. This randomized clinical trial will include subjects (5-10 year-old children) selected at Pediatric Clinic of Federal University of Santa Maria. The sample will consist of 70 primary molars presenting active cavitated carious lesions (with radiographic involvement of the outer half of the dentin), located on the occlusal surface. The sample will be randomly divided into two groups according to the etching time of the dentin prior adhesive application (Adper Single Bond 2; 3M ESPE): recommend by manufacturers (15 seconds) and half-reduced etching time (7 seconds). The restorations will be clinically followed every 6 months for up to 18-month using the FDI criteria for clinical evaluation. Survival estimates for restoration longevity will be evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

The restorations will be clinically followed every 6 months for up to 18-month using the FDI criteria for clinical evaluation. Survival estimates for restoration longevity will be evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Total etching time and Half-reduced etching time in people with Dental Caries, run by Universidade Federal de Santa Maria at 1 site in Brazil.

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 4 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 21 Nov 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 Brazil. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Rachel Rocha, PhD (*55 5532209266, rachelrocha@smail.ufsm.br), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Failure of restorations (time frame: 18 months after restorations' placement). 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 21 Nov 2016.
