About this study

Official title: Management of Occlusal Dentinal Caries in Deciduous Molars- A Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of Three Approaches

This study evaluated and compared the efficacy of no caries removal and sealing with a well-adapted and crimped stainless steel crown verses selective caries removal upto soft dentin and upto firm dentin in healing and/or preventing progression of moderate to deep occlusal dentinal caries.

Read the detailed description

Dental caries is a complex multifactorial disease and is one of the most prevalent diseases throughout history. It can cost a lot of money to treat and causes infection, pain and the loss of teeth. Choices for managing a carious lesion cover a spectrum of options-from complete surgical excision, where no part of the visible carious tissue is left in the tooth before a restoration is placed, to the opposite extreme, where none of the carious tissue is removed and noninvasive methods are used to prevent progression of the lesion. Thus, this study compared efficacy of no caries removal and sealing the entire lesion verses partial selective caries removal to soft and to firm dentin in healing and/or preventing progression of moderate to deep occlusal dentinal caries in previously unrestored teeth by clinical and radiographic analysis in 4-7 year old children.

What participants receive

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

  • no caries removalProcedure or surgery

    occlusal caries were treated with no caries removal and placement of stainless steel crown

  • partial caries removal upto soft dentinProcedure or surgery

    occlusal caries were treated by partial caries removal upto soft dentin followed by Glass Ionomer Cement placement as a base and composite restoration

  • partial caries removal upto firm dentinProcedure or surgery

    occlusal caries were treated by partial caries removal upto firm dentin followed by Glass Ionomer Cement placement as a base and composite restoration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing no caries removal, partial caries removal upto soft dentin and partial caries removal upto firm dentin in people with Caries, Dental, run by Sneha D. Suwarnkar at 1 site in India.

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 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jan 2019. 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 India. 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?

correlation between caries activity and efficacy of three groups (time frame: 12 months). 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 10 Jan 2019.
