Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

A total number of 144 high caries risk dental students were selected based on the applied caries risk assessment method (CAMBRA). In the study group they were given a preventive program as homecare program including tooth brushing 2/day with a fluoride toothpaste( 5000 ppm F) following the instructions in addition to fluoride mouth rinse. For the clinical approach motivational engagement was done by discussing with patients how to improve oral health behavior including amount of sugar, fibrous food and junk food. This in addition to pits and fissures sealant, F- varnish 2 times /year. Recalls up were done at 3, 6 and 12 months by recording the caries prevalence , application of fluoride varnish every 6 months and dietary intake interventions. In the Control group participants assigned to the control condition will be advised to maintain their existing lifestyles. For ethical reasons, if the program shows its effectiveness, it will be made available to all groups at the end of the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: study group

After defining the individual patient's likelihood risk status and the diagnosis for each lesion, ICCMS presents a management element to build a comprehensive patient care plan as follow:

In the study group they were given a preventive program as homecare program including tooth brushing 2/day with a fluoride toothpaste( 5000 ppm F) following the instructions in addition to fluoride mouth rinse. For the clinical approach motivational engagement was done by discussing with patients how to improve oral health behavior including amount of sugar, fibrous food and junk food. This in addition to pits and fissures sealant, F- varnish 2 times /year. and application of fluoride varnish every 6 months and dietary intake interventions.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence of dental caires
Time Frame: baseline

ICCMS caries index

Before the dental educational program, an oral examination will be done for the patient. Examination will be done by using mouth mirror and probe in natural day light. The educational program and outcome assessment will be assessed by ICCMS three times (immediately, three and six months) as the follow:

Score 0 Tooth surfaces show no evidence of visible caries (no or questionable change in enamel translucency). Score 1 First or distinct visual changes in enamel seen as a carious opacity or visible discolouration not consistent with clinical appearance of sound enamel and which show no evidence of surface breakdown or underlying dentine shadowing.

Score 2 A white or brown spot lesion with Localised enamel breakdown, without visible dentine exposure.

Extensive stage Score 3 A distinct cavity in opaque or discoloured enamel with visible dentine.
