About this study

Official title: Three-dimensional Analysis of the Root Canal Preparation With Reciproc Blue, WaveOne Gold and XP EndoShaper

Aim To evaluate in vivo the shaping ability of the canal with 3 different single-file systems: Reciproc Blue, WaveOne Gold and XP Endo-Shaper, using cone beam computed tomography and 3D reconstructions to measure canal volume increase, centering ability of the instruments and canal transportation in human premolars in vivo.

Methodology Thirty human lower premolars were randomly divided into three groups, in which root canals were prepared using one of these single-file systems: Reciproc Blue, WaveOne Gold, and XP EndoShaper. Root canals were scanned before and after root canal preparation by using CBCT and 3D reconstruction was carried out to evaluate canal volume increase, centering ability of the instrument and canal transportation for each group. Statistical analysis was made for each variable to determine statistically significant differences between groups.

What participants receive

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

  • Root canal preparationProcedure or surgery

    Also called Root canal instrumentation

    Root canals from lower premolars with extraction indicated were prepared previous to being extracted with either the Reciproc Blue, the WaveOne Gold or the XP EndoShaper single-file techniques.

What is being measured

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

  1. Root canal volume increase in cubic millimetres after root canal preparation by using the volume command in the Rhinoceros 5.0 software

    The total volume of the root canal measured before and after root canal preparation by using the volume command in the Rhinoceros 5.0 software which gives the volume of a solid in cubic millimetres.

    Measured: One day

  2. Root canal transportation after preparation assessed by superimposing three-dimensional reconstruction images of pre- and post-preparation

    Deviation of the original anatomy of the canal to the mesial or distal wall after root canal preparation evaluated by superimposing three-dimensional reconstruction images of the canal before and after preparation.

    Measured: One day

  3. Centring ability of the instruments used to prepare the root canal assessed by determining if canal was enlarged equally to each of its walls

    Ability of the instruments used for root canal preparation to equally enlarge all of the canal walls, evaluated by analysing superimposed three-dimensional reconstructed images of before and after root canal preparation.

    Measured: One day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Root canal preparation in people with Endodontic Disease and Root Canal Infection, run by Institucion Universitaria Colegios de Colombia at 1 site in Colombia.

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 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Sep 2018. 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 Colombia. 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?

Root canal volume increase in cubic millimetres after root canal preparation by using the volume command in the Rhinoceros 5.0 software (time frame: One day). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 Sep 2018.
