About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Cervical Restorations Performance Using Modified Universal Adhesive Compared to Conventional Universal Adhesive: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Class V restorations are evaluated to reveal whether the use of modified universal adhesive will have a similar performance compared to conventional universal adhesive or not.

Read the detailed description

The innovative Scotchbond Universal Plus Adhesive offers all the benefits of its predecessor, Single Bond Universal Adhesive as demonstrated by a 3M field evaluation comparing the performance of the two products. These benefits include:

  • Compatibility with all etching techniques - total-etch, self-etch, and selective enamel etch.
  • Usage with direct and indirect indications.
  • Bonding to all dental surfaces without the need for separate primers or silanes
  • Virtually no post-operative sensitivity.

The newly modified adhesive with its careful formulation offers:

  • Radiopacity like dentin to reduce the risk of X-ray misdiagnosis and overtreatment.
  • Ability to bond and seal caries-affected dentin to support minimally invasive preparation guidelines and maximize preservation of natural tooth structure.
  • Adhesion to all dental substrates and all direct and indirect materials, including glass ceramics.
  • Full dual- and self-cure compatibility without the need for an additional dual-cure activator bottle.
  • A BPA derivative-free formulation to alleviate concerns about BPA in dental materials
  • A fully aligned system with RelyX™ Universal Resin Cement, offering excellent bond strength for virtually all dual-cure resin cement indications.

As with any new material or technique, long-term clinical evaluations are needed to demonstrate the value of universal bonding agents adequately. So, the aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical performance of the modified universal adhesive, versus the conventional universal adhesive, for restoring carious class V cavities over one year and a half.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Modified universal adhesiveDrug

    Also called 3M ESPE™ Scotchbond Universal Plus Adhesive

    Application of the modified universal adhesive is done according to manufacturer's instructions using a micro-brush. It is actively rubbed for 20 seconds, gently air-dried for 5 seconds then light cured for 20 seconds.

  • Conventional universal adhesiveDrug

    Also called 3M ESPE™ Single Bond Universal Adhesive

    Application of the conventional Single Bond Universal adhesive is done using a micro-brush followed by rubbing for 20 seconds, gentle air drying for 5 seconds then light curing for 20 seconds.

Carious cervical lesions treated with modified universal adhesiveExperimentalPreparation of class V cavity with removal of caries and beveling of margins is done followed by total etching prior to application of modified universal adhesive. The cavity is then restored with nano-filled resin composite.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Modified universal adhesive and Conventional universal adhesive in people with Clinical Performance, run by Cairo 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 5 inclusion and 12 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Oct 2024. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Change in Marginal adaptation (time frame: Baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months and 24 months.). 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 NCT05509127, 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 16 Oct 2024.
