About this study

Official title: Clinical Evaluation of Chemically Cured Conventional Glass Ionomer After Light Emitting Diode Radiant Heat Enhancement: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Introduction:

Glass ionomer cements (GICs) are widely used in clinical dentistry due to their advantageous properties. However, they present inferior physical and mechanical properties compared to resin composites.

Aim:

Clinical evaluation of chemically cured conventional glass ionomer after light-emitting diode radiant heat enhancement. .

Methodology:

Eighteen healthy patients with 36-second molar teeth will be selected where each patient should have two oclusso- mesial cavities. Standardized oclusso- mesial cavities will be prepared for all the selected teeth, for each patient the first tooth will be restored with chemically cured conventional GICs without any enhancement (M1 group). Meanwhile, the second tooth will be restored by chemically cured conventional GICs that enhanced with radiant heat (LED) (M2 group). functional and biological criteria of each restoration will be clinically evaluated at 4 time points

Introduction:

Glass ionomer cements (GICs) are widely used in clinical dentistry due to their advantageous properties. However, they present inferior physical and mechanical properties compared to resin composites. Various techniques have been suggested to improve properties of conventional GICs such as radiant heat transfer by Light Emitting Diode (LED) or lasers, ultrasonic energy transfer also using of (CaCl2) solution.

Aim:

Clinical evaluation of chemically cured conventional glass ionomer after light-emitting diode radiant heat enhancement. .

Methodology:

Eighteen healthy patients with 36-second molar teeth will be selected where each patient should have two oclusso- mesial cavities. Standardized oclusso- mesial cavities will be prepared for all the selected teeth, for each patient the first tooth will be restored with chemically cured conventional GICs without any enhancement (M1 group). Meanwhile, the second tooth will be restored by chemically cured conventional GICs that enhanced with radiant heat (LED) (M2 group). functional and biological criteria of each restoration will be clinically evaluated immediately after restoration (T0), six months later (T1), and after 12 months (T2) using Federation Dentaire International (FDI) criteria for assessment of dental restorations.

Being tested
KetacTM Universal AplicapTM, KetacTM Universal AplicapTM with light cure

Study groups in NCT05744622
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
chemically cured conventional glass ionomer restorative (Ketac Universal Aplicap)ExperimentalFor restoration of M1 group, capsule activation will be performed through loading of the KetacTM Universal AplicapTM GIC capsule into its activator keeping the applicator nozzle closed, using the ball of my hand to depress the activator lever firmly as far as it will go and hold it down for 2 to 4 seconds. Then the capsule will be mixed in a high frequency mixing device for 8 seconds. The mixed capsule will be immediately removed from the mixer and loaded into the AplicapTM Applier then application nozzle will be opened to extrude the mixture directly into the preparation as a single bulk within 1:40 minute. The preliminary contour will be done using a ball burnisher.
Receives: Other: KetacTM Universal AplicapTM
Ketac Universal Aplicap enhanced with light-emitting diode radiant heatExperimentalRestoration of M2 group will be performed following the same steps which will be carried out for M1 group but the achieved restorations will be enhanced by light-emitting diode radiant heat for 60 seconds

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing KetacTM Universal AplicapTM and KetacTM Universal AplicapTM with light cure in people with High Caries Risk Patients, run by Suez Canal 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 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 27 Feb 2023. 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?

Clinical performance of biological properties (time frame: 12 months). 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?
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 27 Feb 2023.
