Trial Outcomes & Findings for In Vivo Assessment of the Tooth-Resin Composite Interface Using Optical Coherence Tomography (NCT NCT05145322)

NCT ID: NCT05145322

Last Updated: 2024-10-28

Results Overview

The World Dental Federation (FDI) criteria is 5-point ordinal scale with a score of 5 indicating the worst marginal staining. 1. No marginal staining 2. Minor marginal staining, easily removable by polishing. 3. Moderate marginal staining, not esthetically unacceptable. 4. Pronounced marginal staining; major intervention necessary for improvement 5. Deep marginal staining, not accessible for intervention. Outcome will be reported as a single score at baseline.

Participant Flow

Participants were recruited based on referral from the dental clinics of the School of Dentistry University of Minnesota and enquiries from the public upon seeing flyers pasted at the Malcolm Moos Tower. The first and last participant were enrolled on 09/23/2021 and 7/15/22 respectively.

Upon referral from the dental clinic or enquiries, potential participants were invited to attend a telemeeting where the participants were presented with the information of the trial using a MS Powerpoint slide deck. 46 participants were invited to the telemeeting and also attended an in-person screening session to determine whether they meet the inclusion criteria of the study. 36 met the inclusion criteria and were successfully enrolled into the study.

90-degree Cavosurface Angle Cavity Margin
Group 1: Lesion-specific cavity design with 90 degree cavosurface angle throughout the cavity margins Composite with 90 degree cavosurface angle: Lesion-specific cavity design with 90 degree cavosurface angle throughout the cavity margins will be prepared. The total etch method will be performed, i.e. with a 32% by weight phosphoric acid (3M Scotchbond™ Universal Etchant) on enamel and dentine for 15 seconds. The etchant will be rinsed away and an adhesive (3M Scotchbond™ Universal Adhesive) will be applied on dentine with a microbrush for 20 seconds. The adhesive will be light-cured for 10 sec with the Elipar S10 curing light (3M Oral Care). Subsequently the preparation will be restored with a bulkfill resin composite (3M Filtek™ One Bulk Fill Restorative) and cured for 20 seconds.

The adhesive will be light-cured for 10 sec with the Elipar S10 curing light (3M Oral Care). Subsequently the cavity will be restored in with a pre-warmed (using Bioclear Heatsync Kit) bulkfill resin composite (3M Filtek™ One Bulk Fill Restorative) and cured for 20 seconds.

The World Dental Federation (FDI) criteria is 5-point ordinal scale with a score of 5 indicating the worst marginal defect. 1. Harmonious outline, no gaps. 2. Slight ditching, slight step/flashes, minor irregularities. 3. Major irregularities, ditching or flash, steps 4. Larger irregularities or steps (repair necessary) 5. Generalized major gaps or irregularities. Margins were assessed quantitatively as 2 different proportions (100% and \<100%) of the total length of the margin that is of Score 1 quality.

B) Detectable - V-shaped defect in enamel only and catches explorer going both ways. C) Detectable - V-shaped defect to the dentin-enamel junction Outcome will be reported as a single score at baseline.

Wide-bevel Cavity Margin
n=18 Participants
Lesion-specific cavity design with wide bevel throughout the cavity margins Composite with wide bevel: Lesion-specific cavity design with wide bevel throughout the cavity margins will be prepared. The total etch method will be performed, i.e. with a 32% by weight phosphoric acid (3M Scotchbond™ Universal Etchant) on enamel and dentine for 15 seconds. The etchant will be rinsed away and an adhesive (3M Scotchbond™ Universal Adhesive) will be applied on dentine with a microbrush for 20 seconds. The adhesive will be light-cured for 10 sec with the Elipar S10 curing light (3M Oral Care). Subsequently the cavity will be restored in with a pre-warmed (using Bioclear Heatsync Kit) bulkfill resin composite (3M Filtek™ One Bulk Fill Restorative) and cured for 20 seconds.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline

Presence of elevated intensity at the cavosurface angle (margins) of the restoration, which indicates presence of minor marginal defect, is computed as percentage area of the outline of restoration at every evaluation time point, i.e. baseline, 6 months and 18 months post-operative. Outcome is reported in units of percentage area.
