About this study

Official title: Efficacy of One-Shape Single-file System in Pulpectomy of Infected Primary Molars: In-vitro and In-vivo Randomized Controlled Trial.

The current study evaluates the rotational One Shape single-file system regarding clinical and radiographic outcomes in root canal treatment of infected primary molars.

This randomized clinical trial was carried out on 94 primary molars on children in the age group from 4 to 6 years. The teeth selected for this study were randomly assigned into 2 groups according to the used endodontic preparation system. Group I: 47 primary molars were instrumented with One Shape rotational single-file system. Group II: 47 primary molars were instrumented with stainless steel K-files. All teeth were evaluated clinically and radigraphically for 12 months with periodic recall at 3, 6 and 12 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain presence or absence

    score 0 was applied for absence of pain and score 1 was applied for presence of pain

    Measured: one year

  2. swelling presence or absence

    score 0 was applied for absence of swelling and score 1 was applied for presence of swelling

    Measured: one year

  3. radiographic success or failure

    it was done using periapical radiograph and score 0 was applied for absence of radiolucency and score 1 was applied for presence of radiolucency

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing One Shape Single-file rotary system and manual stainless steel K-file in people with Pulpal Necrosis, run by Minia 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 11 inclusion and 5 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 19 May 2020. 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?

Pain presence or absence (time frame: one year). 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 19 May 2020.
