Deep Margin Elevation Vs Crown Lengthening

May 18, 2022 updated by: Ahmed Tarek Farouk, Cairo University

Biological Evaluation of Indirect Restorations in Endodontically-treated Posterior Teeth With Deeply Located Proximal Margins Following Deep Margin Elevation Versus Surgical Crown Lengthening: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The present clinical trial will be conducted to reject or accept the null hypothesis that in endodontically treated posterior teeth with deeply located proximal margins, will the Deep Margin Elevation will have better results from surgical crown lengthening in terms of biological criteria?

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.

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.

Experimental: Deep Margin Elevation
Procedure: Deep Margin Elevation using resin composite
After completion of the root canal treatment of the offended tooth and comprehensive evaluation of the obtained treatment, the randomly allocated patients will undergo deep margin elevation procedure where rubber dam isolation will be accomplished Followed by proper matricing and wedging ) followed by selective enamel etching for 10 seconds then universal adhesive application following the manufacturer instructions followed by application of flowable resin composite for the first 1 mm and light cured for 20 seconds according to the manufacturer recommendations followed by application of packable bulk fill composite to elevate the margins and light cured following the manufacturer instructions.
Procedure: Surgical Crown Lengthening
Participants in this group will undergo surgical crown lengthening in which an internal bevel incision will be done buccally and lingually followed by full thickness flap reflection using mucoperiosteal elevator, then interproximal bone removal will be done using end cutting bur to the planned position away from the margins by 3 mm. The flap will be displaced apically with apically positioned sutures. Postoperative instructions will be given to the patient aiming to control postsurgical complications including pain and swelling. Suture removal and assessment of the surgical site will be done after two weeks

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
