About this study

Objective: This randomized, controlled clinical study aimed to evaluate the performance of one universal adhesive applied with etch-and-rinse or self-etch strategy and one etch-and-rinse adhesive on fissure sealant retention over 24 months. Methodology: 144 sealants were placed on the permanent premolars and molars of 13 subjects. Teeth were divided into three groups SB2(control): Adper Single Bond 2, SBU-ER: Single Bond Universal/etch-and-rinse, SBU-SE: Single Bond Universal/self-etch. After the adhesive application, Fissurit FX was applied and light-cured. Clinical evaluations were done at baseline and at 1 week, 6-, 12-, 18- and 24-month recalls. Visual examination was performed on every visit for evaluation of the sealants. Evaluating criteria were: 1= completely retained; 2= partial loss; 3= total loss. The Pearson Chi-square test was used for each evaluation period.

Read the detailed description

Thirteen patients with a mean age of 20.5 (range 19-22) were selected among the patients seeking routine dental care from Conservative Dentistry Department who met the inclusion criteria. Inclusion criteria were: good oral hygiene and and the absence of caries, previously placed restorations, bruxism and an allergy to the materials tested.

Bitewing radiographs were taken. Pellicle and any remaining plaque on the fissures were removed by using slurry of pumice with a slow-speed handpiece. All restorative procedures were performed by the same operator. The teeth were assigned for different group by using a table of random numbers.

Group 1 (SB2): Etched with 35% phosphoric acid gel for 30 s, rinsed and dried. Adper Single Bond 2 (3M ESPE St. Paul MN. USA) applied and light cured for 10s with a LED device (Demi Plus; Kerr, Switzerland) Group 2 (SBU-ER) : Etched with 35% phosphoric acid gel for 30s, rinsed and dried. Single Bond Universal Adhesive (3M ESPE St. Paul MN.USA) applied, gently air thinned for 5 s and light cured for 10s with a LED device Group 3 (SBU-SE): Single Bond Universal Adhesive (3M ESPE St. Paul MN.USA) applied for 20 s with vigorous agitation, gently air thinned for 5 s and light cured for 10 s with a LED device A nanofilled fissure sealant, Fissurit FX (Voco,Cuxhaven,Germany) was applied to the fissures and air entrapment was prevented by carefull spreading with a dental probe. The sealant material was light-cured for 20 seconds with LED. The occlusion was checked with articulating paper. Fine-grit diamond burs (Diatech, Swiss Dental, Switzerland) and rubber cups (Edenta AG, AU SG, Switzerland). were used for finishing and polishing.

Each restoration was evaluated at baseline,1week after treatment and 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. Evaluation of restorations was carried out by two calibrated examiners who were unaware of group allocation and who were not involved with the treatment procedures, by the help of a mirror, blunt explorer and air stream. Caries formation was evaluated as present or absent and the sealants were evaluated according to the following criteria: 1= Completely retained 2= Partial loss 3= Total loss.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing fissure sealant application in people with Fissure, Dental and Adhesion, run by Ondokuz Mayıs University.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 8 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The evaluation of retention rate of fissure sealants (time frame: 24 month). 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 8 Apr 2021.
