About this study

The present study will be performed to evaluate:

  1. The remineralizing effect of natural materials versus synthetic materials on deep carious dentin after selective caries removal.
  2. The antibacterial effect of natural materials versus synthetic materials on deep carious dentin.
Read the detailed description

This study will be conducted on 64 teeth selected from patients according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. They will be selected from the dental clinic in faculty of dental medicine, Al-Azhar University. The procedure will be explained and written informed consent will be obtained from each patient. The possible discomforts, risks, and benefits will be fully explained to the patients. Ethical committee approval will be obtained.

Protocol of caries removal will be removed Subsequently, the central cariogenic biomasses and superficial part of the necrotic and demineralized dentin will be then excavated, leaving the last carious affected dentin layer.

Sample grouping:

The patients will be randomly assigned into four main groups according to the material used (16 for each) then each group will be subdivided into two subgroups (n=8) according to time of treatment (B1) after one month,(B2) after three month.

A1: cavities will be treated by propolis extract then sealed directly by temporary conventional glass ionomer.

A2: cavities will be treated by hesperidin then sealed directly by temporary conventional glass ionomer.

A3: cavities will be treated with Silver diamine fluoride then sealed directly by temporary conventional glass ionomer.

A4: cavities will be sealed directly by temporary restorative material (conventional glass ionomer) without any treatment.

Evaluation of the microbiological effect Dentine samples will be collected from the base of the cavity using sterile spoon excavator from the four groups for baseline bacteriological assessment immediately after excavation, then another sample will be taken after one month for each subgroup (B1)and three months of treatment for each subgroup (B2).

Evaluation of the remineralization effect Each group will be assessed radiographically immediately at base line (B0), after one month (B1) and three months (B2) to evaluate the dentin remineralization.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of the Remineralizing and Antibacterial Effect of Natural Versus Synthetic Materials on Deep Carious Dentin

    antibacterial effect will be evaluated by bacterial count at base line and after three months reminerliazation effect will be evaluated by radiographes

    Measured: antibacterial and reminerlizing effect will be evaluated after three monthes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing hesperidine, propolis and silver diamine fluoride in people with Dentin Caries, run by Al-Azhar University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 6 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 13 Jan 2021. 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 Egypt. 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?

Evaluation of the Remineralizing and Antibacterial Effect of Natural Versus Synthetic Materials on Deep Carious Dentin (time frame: antibacterial and reminerlizing effect will be evaluated after three monthes). 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 NCT04145102, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 13 Jan 2021.
