About this study

Official title: Deep Marginal Acquisition With Thermacut Bur Versus Functional Crown Lengthening in Management of Deep Subgingival Interproximal Carious Lesions: A One Year Follow-up Randomized Controlled Trial

this clinical trial is conducted to compare between deep marginal acquistion by the means of thermacut bur Vs. functional crown lengthening in exposing deep subgingival interproximal cervical lesions

Read the detailed description

Deep subgingival margins pose a great difficulty during restorative work with composite restorations. Exposing cavity margins is paramount in order to attain proper isolation, matrix adaptation and composite placement.

Several methods have been proposed to overcome the problem of exposing deep margins; functional crown lengthening is considered the gold standard of care regarding exposure of deep margins.

However, functional crown lengthening can pose many problems including the risk of root exposure, furcation involvement and compromising crown root ratio, besides risk of thread exposure if it is done beside implant, removal of bone from adjacent teeth and from buccal and lingual walls in order to create smooth bone architecture, and the complications of surgery such as post-operative pain, inflammation and edema and the risk of excessive bleeding.

Deep marginal acquisition and deep marginal extension (DMA \& DME) are considered as a viable option in treating deep subgingival extended margins.

Several methods regarding deep marginal acquisition have been proposed including the use of diode laser and Electrosurgery, there is another protocol for exposing the gingival seat by the use of thermacut bur.

The rationale behind conducting this research is to propose an easy and predictable way to expose deep subgingival margins, without the need to perform surgical intervention.

The technique is done by clinicians with good outcomes, but never been tested or validated, this study is performed to verify whether this test should be validated or not.

What participants receive

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

  • deep marginal acquisition using thermacut burProcedure or surgery

    Also called thermacut bur from dentsply

    thermacut bur is a tool which doesn't contain any abrasives so it is much safer on the root surface of both prepared and adjacent teeth, and yields better treatment outcome in cases when exposing deep margins is needed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing deep marginal acquisition using thermacut bur in people with Deep Caries, 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 7 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jan 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

patient satisfaction: visual analogue scale (time frame: immediate post operative, 3 month, 6 month and 1 year). 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 16 Jan 2024.
