Trial summary

Severely damaged incisors may lead to difficulty in speech, decreased masticatory efficiency, abnormal tongue habits, subsequent malocclusions, and psychological and self-esteem problems. There are several methods mentioned in the literature for the restoration of severely decayed primary anterior teeth. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Intracanal Reinforcement with Short Composite Post in Upper Primary Incisors: Randomized Clinical Trial

Severely damaged incisors may lead to difficulty in speech, decreased masticatory efficiency, abnormal tongue habits, subsequent malocclusions, and psychological and self-esteem problems. There are several methods mentioned in the literature for the restoration of severely decayed primary anterior teeth. The benefits of pulp therapy include: removing cavitations or defects to eliminate areas that are susceptible to caries; stopping the progression of tooth demineralization; restoring the integrity of tooth structure; preventing the spread of infection and preventing the shifting of teeth due to loss of tooth structure. The risks of pulp therapy include lessening the longevity of teeth by making them more susceptible to fracture as after removal of gross caries lesion and gaining access to the pulp the tooth become too weak, recurrent lesions, restoration failure, complications, and iatrogenic damage to adjacent teeth.

There are different techniques can be used for gaining intracanal retention in primary teeth. one of these techniques is resin composite posts.

Composite post restorations have been in used in primary teeth from 1986. They yield satisfactory results when there is normal masticatory function, a balanced diet, and hygiene control.

The evidence to support any method of intracanal reinforcement for restoring grossly broken down anterior teeth is presently lacking.

This study aims to Evaluate the intracanal reinforcement with short composite post in upper primary incisors versus no reinforcement.

Being tested
intracanal reinforcement using short composite post, no intracanal reinforcement

What participants receive

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

  • intracanal reinforcement using short composite postProcedure or surgery

    after pupectomy is done flowable composite will be applied 3mm intacanal to make a short compsite post before zircon crown aplicaction

  • no intracanal reinforcementProcedure or surgery

    no intracanal reinforcement using resin modified glass ionmer before zircon crown application

What is being measured

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

  1. Crown success

    binary ( presence or abscence of the zircon crown)

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Clinically :Gingival health.

    • A: No obvious sign of inflammation.
    • B: Mild marginal gingivitis - tissue slightly reddened and edematous.
    • C: Moderate marginal gingivitis - tissue obviously reddened and edematous.
    • D: Sever gingivitis - tissue is very sollowen: spontaneous bleeding.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Radiographic assessment.

    • A: Healthy no pathosis noted.
    • B: Pathosis apparent but not requiring immediate treatment.
    • C: Pathosis apparent requiring immediate treatment.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing intracanal reinforcement using short composite post and no intracanal reinforcement in people with Composite Post and Intracanal Reinfocement, run by Cairo University.

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 8 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Contact Ahmed O Abdel Azeem, B.Sc(2018)Faculty of dentistry (0201145611843, ahmed.abdelazeem@dentistry.cu.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Crown success (time frame: 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 18 Dec 2024.
