About this study

Official title: Clinical Performance of a New Dental Adhesive, 3M™ Scotchbond™ Universal Plus Adhesive, Compared to 3M™ Scotchbond™ Universal Adhesive When Used With 3M™ Filtek™ Universal Restorative to Restore Class V Non-carious Cervical Lesions

This is a prospective, controlled, within-subject, randomized, single-center study comparing Scotchbond Universal Plus (SBU+) and Scotchbond Universal (SBU) adhesives when used with Filtek restorative. The study will enroll Subjects scheduled to undergo Class-V non-carious cervical lesion (NCCL) restorations.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, controlled, within-subject, randomized, single-center study that will enroll Subjects scheduled to undergo Class-V NCCL restorations on 2 or 4 teeth treated in pairs according to lesion depth. Enough subjects will be enrolled from a single site located in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA to perform a minimum of 110 restorations (estimated 38 subjects). Each study tooth will be restored using only one type of adhesive, either SBU+ or SBU, and Filtek restorative following manufacturer's directions using the "Total Etch/Etch and Rinse Procedure". Any teeth needing treatment that are not included in the study will be treated by the dentist using the standard of care.

Subjects will be seen during screening (≤21 days before the restoration procedure), on the day of the restoration procedure, 7 days (± 3 days) after restoration (remote visit for subject self-assessment of baseline hypersensitivity), and follow-up visits at 6 months (± 14 days), 1 year (± 30 days), and 2 years (± 45 days) after restorations. Study teeth will be assessed for selected endpoints based partly on FDI (Fédération Dentaire Internationale) World Dental Federation criteria. Subjects may participate in additional unscheduled visits as required during the study if evaluation of any study tooth is required outside of the scheduled study visits. The entire duration of the study is expected to last approximately 3 years, with individual Subject participation expected to last up to 2 years (± 45 days).

To help minimize or avoid bias in the study, randomization of study teeth will occur after teeth preparation but before the initial application of any adhesive. Assessments will be performed by 2 dental examiners that are independent of the dentist that placed the restorations and are blinded to the treatment arms. All examiners will be trained and calibrated for the scoring criteria before any Subject assessment occurs, and examiners will be retrained and recalibrated if any new evaluator is added to the list of assessors. After the second examiner has completed their assessments, the examiners will compare their evaluations and a consensus will be reached for each of the scoring criteria at each visit before the Subject leaves the visit. The consensus assessments will be entered into the Case Report Form (CRF).

What is being measured

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

  1. Retention of Restorative Material

    The percentage of restorations with partial or complete loss of the restorative materials.

    Measured: 24 months post-restoration

  2. Marginal Adaptation

    Marginal adaptation of restorations graded on a scale of 1-5 with a score of 1 being Excellent/very good and a score of 5 being Poor. Grading scale is based on modified FDI (Fédération Dentaire Internationale) World Dental Federation criteria.

    Scoring categories for marginal adaptation:

    1. Excellent/very good: No clinically detectable gap.
    2. Good: Marginal integrity deviates from the ideal but could be upgraded to ideal by polishing.
    3. Sufficient/Satisfactory: Leakage/discoloration is present but limited to the marginal area.
    4. Unsatisfactory: Localized gap larger than 250 µm, may result in exposure of dentine or base.
    5. Poor: Generalized gap larger than 250 µm or the restoration is loose but in situ, re-placement necessary.

    Measured: 24 months post-restoration

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Retention of Restorative Material

    The percentage of restorations with partial or complete loss of the restoration material.

    Measured: 6 months post-restoration

  2. Marginal Adaptation

    Marginal adaptation of restorations graded on a scale of 1-5 with a score of 1 being Excellent/very good and a score of 5 being Poor. Grading scale is based on modified FDI World Dental Federation criteria.

    3. Sufficient/Satisfactory: Leakage/discoloration is present but limited to the marginal area.
    4. Unsatisfactory: Localized gap larger than 250 µm, may result in exposure of dentine or base.
    5. Poor: Generalized gap larger than 250 µm or the restoration is loose but in situ, re-placement necessary.

    Measured: 6 months post restoration

  3. Fracture of Restorative Material

    Fractures on study teeth graded on a 0-4 grading scale with a score of 1 being Excellent/very good and a score of 4 being Unsatisfactory. Grading scale is based on modified FDI World Dental Federation criteria.

    Scoring categories for the fracture of restorative material are defined as follows:

    1. Excellent/very good: No fractures/cracks
    2. Good: Small hairline cracks
    3. Sufficient/Satisfactory: Two or more or larger hairline cracks and/or material chip fracture not affecting the marginal integrity or approximal contact
    4. Unsatisfactory: Material chip fractures which damage marginal quality or approximal contacts

    Measured: 6 months post-restoration

  4. Secondary Caries

    Secondary caries in study teeth scored on scale 1-5.

    1. Excellent/Very Good: No secondary or primary caries

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Apr 2026. 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?

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Apr 2026). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Retention of Restorative Material (time frame: 24 months post-restoration). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05361746, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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?
