About this study

Official title: Clinical and Radiological Evaluation of Stainless Stain Crowns (SSCs) Placed Using the Hall Technique and Traditional Technique

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the clinical performance of Stainless Stain Crowns Placed Using the Hall Technique and Traditional Technique

Read the detailed description

Stainless Stain Crowns (SSCs) will be placed on two primary molar teeth with proximal caries, in a split mouth design. 200 patients will be included in the study. The teeth will be randomized into two groups according to the technique.

Group 1: SSCs that will be placed using Traditional Technique Group 2: SSCs that will be placed using Hall Technique The cooperation of the child during the procedure will be assessed with Frankl scale. The crowns will be evaluated at baseline and 1., 6., 12., 18., 24. months. Radiographical evaluations will be at 6.,12. and 24. months. The data will be analysed statistically using chi square test and Log-Rank test and the Kaplan-Meier survival method will be used to estimate survival percentages.

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical performance of Stainless Stain Crowns (SSCs) Placed Using the Hall Technique and Traditional Technique

    Assessment of SSCs placed with two different techniques on primary molar teeth. The cooperation of children will be assessed with Frankl Scale (1:definitely negative, 2:negative, 3:positive, 4:definitely positive).

    Evaluation criteria will be;

    • spontaneous pain (absent/present);
    • tenderness to percussion/palpation (absent/present);
    • mobility (no mobility/ 1mm/ 2mm/ 3mm mobility)
    • swelling (absent/present);
    • fistula (absent/present)
    • periapical/interradicular radiolucency (absent/present);
    • widened periodontal ligament (absent/present);
    • loss of lamina dura (absent/present);
    • internal/external root resorption (absent/present)
    • the marginal adaptation of each crown: good when the margins were sealed / poor when the margins were open
    • retention of the crown (absent/ present)
    • fracture of the crown (absent/ present)
    • gingival health/gingivitis (absent/ present)
    • plaque around the crown (absent/ present)

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hall technique and Traditional technique in people with Primary Teeth and 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 3 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Clinical performance of Stainless Stain Crowns (SSCs) Placed Using the Hall Technique and Traditional Technique (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT03433157, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
