About this study

Official title: Clinical Retention of Bonded Resin Sealants Placed With Rubber Dam Versus Cotton Roll Isolation

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the clinical retention of bonded fissure sealants placed under rubber dam isolation and cotton roll isolation.

Being tested
Rubber Dam Set, Dental Cotton Roll
Medical subject headings
Dental Leakage

What participants receive

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

  • Rubber Dam SetDevice

    Rubber dam set is the generic name of an isolation device that consists of a rubber sheet that isolates the tooth from saliva, a clamp to hold the rubber sheet on the tooth to be isolated, and a metal frame to keep the rubber sheet in a stretched position during dental procedures.

  • Dental Cotton RollDevice

    Cotton roll is the generic name of a disposable isolation device made of cotton in a cylindrical form. Cotton rolls are used to isolate the teeth from saliva, by being placed in the cheek and tongue during placement of sealants or filings.

What is being measured

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

  1. The US Public Health Service criteria for retention of sealants

    Alpha: No Loss of sealant, Bravo: Partial Loss of Sealant, Charlie: Total loss of sealant

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The US Public Health Service criteria for secondary caries on sealants

    Alpha: Charlie: There is no clinical diagnosis of caries. Charlie: There is clinical diagnosis of caries

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Rubber Dam Set and Dental Cotton Roll in people with Dental Caries in Children and Dental Caries on Pit and Fissure Surface, run by Zafer Cavit Cehreli, DDS, PhD 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 5 Nov 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 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?

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The US Public Health Service criteria for retention of sealants (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 5 Nov 2019.
