About this study

Official title: Clinical Investigation Of A Bulk Fill Composite In Class II Restorations In Adult Subjects

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a new tooth-colored composite material is effective for load-bearing dental fillings.

Read the detailed description

In this post-market prospective randomized controlled clinical trial, posterior class II restorations will be evaluated for their clinical performance. The study will investigate the survival and efficacy of a bulk-filled composite resin restorative material for a period of 2 years. The bulk fill composite will be used according to indication and applied in approximal two- or three-surface restorations in permanent teeth.

Being tested
Filtek One, Filtek Z250

What participants receive

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

  • Filtek OneDevice

    Also called 3M™ Filtek™ One Bulk Fill Restorative

    Restoring a posterior permanent tooth in need of a filling applying Filtek One using bulk fill technique.

  • Filtek Z250Device

    Also called 3M™ Filtek™ Z250 Universal Restorative

    Restoring a posterior permanent tooth in need of a filling applying Filtek Z250 using incremental filling technique.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants with restoration failure of either material

    Restoration failure is based on clinical performance criteria according to the Fédération Dentaire Internationale (FDI) rating system. An assessment of score 5, indicating poor performance, in any of the three categories esthetic, functional or biological performance will be considered a failure.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Clinical performance score for each restoration

    Quality rating for each restoration/material based on the FDI clinical performance scores (1-5) for the three categories esthetic, functional and biological performance.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Confirmation of material safety

    Number of participants with unanticipated treatment-related Adverse Events as assessed by • Fatal, • Persistent disability or significant incapacity, • Congenital anomaly/birth defect or cancer, • Life-Threatening, • Associated with overdose, • Required hospital admission or prolongation of hospitalization (Adverse Events Reporting Requirements LSUHSC-NO IRB).

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Filtek One and Filtek Z250 in people with Dental Caries and Dental Restoration Failure, run by Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 10 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 28 Jun 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 United States. 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?

Number of participants with restoration failure of either material (time frame: 2 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 28 Jun 2021.
