Trial summary

A crucial step at end of debonding is to evaluate the site of bond failure. An accurate assessment of the site of bond failure will allow the clinician to select an optimum method for adhesive remnant removal from the enamel surface. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Quantitative Measurement of the Adhesive Remnant Index Using Two Different Debonding Techniques: A Split-mouth Randomized Clinical Trial

A crucial step at end of debonding is to evaluate the site of bond failure. An accurate assessment of the site of bond failure will allow the clinician to select an optimum method for adhesive remnant removal from the enamel surface.

The aim of this study is to do a randomized clinical trial to measure adhesive remanent index quantitively after debonding with wing and base method of debonding

Read the detailed description

After informed consent data would be collected from patients who are undergoing debonding of orthodontic brackets after comprehensive orthodontic treatment of at least 2 years. Only the cases which have no loose anterior upper and lower brackets for the last 6 months would be randomly allocated to one of the two sides in each arch for debonding with a specific technique. A protocol of block randomization would be followed for this study. Debonding of brackets would be done either by wing or base method in a split fashion after removal of orthodontic wires. The patient would be explained that both methods are conventional used and are safe for debonding. After debonding each bracket the patient would be asked for the level of pain he felt during the debonding of that specific bracket. The patient will explain the pain level on a scale of 0-10 with 0 referring to no pain while 10 referring to maximum pain. After debonding a digital microscope (Supereyes) would be used along with plastic tubing for taking the adhesive remanent pictures intraorally from the labial surface of teeth. The plastic tubing would have a calibrated scale attached to it. For each new patient, a new tubing or disinfected tubing would be used. The available data would be measured extra orally on a computer-based software (ImageJ). Variable like age, gender, oral hygiene, ARI, side of adhesive flush, and pain would be analyzed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Adhesive remnant index

    Quantitative Measurement of adhesive remnant index by a digital handheld microscope

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Patient reported outcome: Pain

    After debonding each bracket patient will score the pain level on a scale of 0-10 with 0 referring to no pain while 10 referring to maximum pain

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Debonding in people with Orthodontic Appliance Complication, run by CMH Lahore Medical College and Institute of Dentistry at 1 site in Pakistan.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 12 Aug 2022. 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 Pakistan. 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?

Adhesive remnant index (time frame: 6 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 12 Aug 2022.
