Pre-etching of Dentin Before Restorations With High Viscosity Glass Ionomer Cement (CEPECO4)

May 30, 2022 updated by: Tamara Kerber Tedesco, Universidade Ibirapuera

Effect of Pre-etching of Dentin on Survival of Restorations With High Viscosity Glass Ionomer Cement in the Atraumatic Restorative Treatment - Randomized Clinical Trial Restorations With High Viscosity Glass Ionomer Cement

The objective of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the survival of restoration with high viscosity glass ionomer cement (HVGIC) with pre-etching with polyacrilic acid compared with no pre-etching in order to treat occlusoproximais caries lesion in primary molars, as well as the impact of those treatments in the caries lesion progression, the cost-efficacy of the procedures and the discomfort reported by the patient. Children of 4 to 8 years will be selected in the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic of Universidade Ibirapuera. 192 teeth will be randomized in 2 experimental groups: (1) HVGIC restoration with pre-etching and (2) HVGIC restoration with no pre-etching. Will be considered as primary outcome the survival of the restoration evaluated after 6, 12, and 24 months by two trained examiners. The carious lesions progression will be evaluated after 24 months of follow-up. The time of the treatments and the cost of the materials will be considered to estimate the cost-efficacy of each treatment. The discomfort reported by the participant will be measured after each procedure following the Wong-Baker scale. For the primary outcome, Kaplan-Meier survival and the Long-Rank test will be used in order to compare the two groups. Cox regression will be performed in order to evaluate thee influence of explanatory variables on the outcome.

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.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

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

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

4 years to 8 years (CHILD)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with carious lesion of occlusoproximais in primary molars

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients will be excluded with special needs, using orthodontics devices and/or systemic diseases which may affect the oral cavity.
  • Also, teeth with pulp exposure, spontaneous pain, mobility, presence of abscess or fistula next to the tooth, teeth with restorations, sealants or enamel formation defects will also be excluded.

ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: HVGIC restoration with pre-etching
Pre-etching of the surface with polyacrylic acid for 10 s, followed by HVGIC restoration.
Procedure: HVGIC restoration with pre-etching
Pre-etching of the surface with polyacrylic acid for 10 s, followed by washing and drying the cavity with cotton balls; and fill with HVGIC, inserted into the cavity with the aid of an insertion spatula and adapted to the cavity by the digital pressure technique.
EXPERIMENTAL: HVGIC restoration with non pre-etching
HVGIC restoration without the pre-etching of the surface.
Procedure: HVGIC restoration with non pre-etching
Restoration with HVGIC, inserted into the cavity with the aid of an insertion spatula and adapted to the cavity by the digital pressure technique.

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
Survival of restorations
Time Frame: 24 months
Comparing the survival of HVGIC restorations without pre-etching with HVGIC restorations with pre-etching by clinical assessment using a criteria proposed by Roleveld et al., 2006.
24 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Caries lesion progression will be evaluated by comaparison of radiograph immediately after the restoration
Time Frame: Immediately after the restoration and 24 months
The caries lesion progression will be evaluated by comaparison of radiograph immediately after the restoration and after 24 months.
Immediately after the restoration and 24 months
Cost-efficacy
Time Frame: 24 months.
The duration of the treatments (time of treatment) and the cost of the materials used will be considered for the estimation of the cost-efficacy of the treatments by a ratio - cost/efficacy, being efficacy considered the tooth survival.
24 months.
Discomfort regarding the treatment options by a Wong-Baker FACES pain rating scale
Time Frame: Immediately after the treatment
Children-reported discomfort regarding the treatment options by a Wong-Baker FACES pain rating scale. The scale present 6 different faces since "very happy" until "very sad" with the treatment.
