About this study

Official title: Validation of Schematic Representations for Dental Malocclusion and Craniofacial Deformities Screening in Temporary and Mixed Dentition Requiring Early Orthodontic Treatment

Dental occlusion is the reciprocal confrontation of the two dental arches. The child has two set of temporary and permanent teeth and passes through different stages of dentition during which dental, skeletal or functional abnormalities may appear.

Dental malocclusion is defined as an incorrect position of the teeth in the bone base, as well as the incoordination of the teeth of the opposite arches or the displacement of the maxillary and mandibular skeletal bases.

Read more

When a malocclusion is detected during clinical examination, patients are referred to an orthodontic specialist. The interception in orthodontics is carried out during a growing period; it consists of correcting or reducing malocclusions in evolution and eliminating the functional causes to prevent aggravation of skeletal and dental abnormalities.

An epidemiological study conducted in France on 789 children showed that 37.4% had at least one type of dental malocclusion. In 2010, a study of 5988 French children showed that 14% of them had received orthodontic treatment. These studies reveal a discrepancy between treatment needs and treatments conducted. In addition, certain dental malocclusions and skeletal disorders, such as lateral and anterior crossbite, require early orthodontic treatment in order to avoid aggravation of the occlusion disorder and induction of craniofacial growth disorders. Unfortunately these discrepancies are not always detected by the caregivers (pediatrician, general dentist, pediatric dentist).

A schematic representation of malocclusions in temporary and mixed dentition requiring orthodontic interception has been developed by the investigator's team to provide a simple visual means of identifying these dental and skeletal disorders in order to improve early screening by practitioners involved in the mandatory medical follow-up of children.

When a malocclusion is detected during clinical examination, patients are referred to an orthodontic specialist. The interception in orthodontics is carried out during a growing period; it consists of correcting or reducing malocclusions in evolution and eliminating the functional causes to prevent aggravation of skeletal and dental abnormalities. Early intervention is critical for specific dental malocclusions and skeletal disorders, such as lateral and anterior crossbite in order to avoid aggravation of the occlusion disorder and induction of craniofacial growth disorders.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dental Exam, Orthodontics consult and Call back at 6 month in people with Dental Malocclusion, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 11 sites in France.

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 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 5 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in France. 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?

Detection the presence of at least one malocclusion in children, requiring an early orthodontic treatment, compared to orthodontic experts (gold-standard) (time frame: 2 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 Sep 2023.
