Zirconia Reinforced Glass Ionomer in MIH

March 17, 2024 updated by: Hams Hamed Abdelrahman

Effectiveness Of Zirconia Reinforced Glass Ionomer Used In Alternative Restorative Treatment In Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial And Finite Element Analysis)

Molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a qualitative enamel defect, in which molars and incisors involved are prone to post-eruptive enamel breakdown leading to sensitivity, and caries. Atraumatic/Alternative Restorative Treatment (ART) is a minimally invasive procedure. It can be very beneficial in managing MIH-affected molars in communities with limited access to dental care. Zirconia-reinforced GI was recently introduced. It is claimed to serve as a long-term temporary restoration until a more permanent restoration is placed

Study Overview

Status

Status

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.

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
88

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

7 years to 10 years (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

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
Change in clinical success rate
Time Frame: at 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months

It will be assessed using Modified ART criteria, restorations receiving a score of:

(0) Restoration is present and satisfactory OR

(1) Restoration is present, slight defect at the cavity margin of less than 0.5 mm; no repair is needed.

will be considered successful, and any other score will be considered a failure.
at 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 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
Change in pain
Time Frame: at 1 week, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months
Pain will be recorded using VAS Using a visual analog scale (VAS), the subjects were instructed how to point to the position of the line between faces to indicate how much painthey might feel. In this system, the total scores range from 0 to 100 based on measuring the distance in millimeters from the left end bar to the mark made by the child on the 10 cm line anchored by happy to sad faces, with a higher score indicating more severe pain.
at 1 week, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months
Change in sensitivity
Time Frame: at 1 week, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months
sensitivity will be recorded using VAS by performing air blast test Using a visual analog scale (VAS), the subjects were instructed how to point to the position of the line between faces to indicate how much pain they might feel. In this system, the total scores range from 0 to 100 based on measuring the distance in millimeters from the left end bar to the mark made by the child on the 10 cm line anchored by happy to sad faces, with a higher score indicating more severe pain.
at 1 week, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months
Finite element analysis
Time Frame: 12 months
Performance of both Zirconomer and HVGI-Equia Forte under dynamic occlusal loads will be assessed using Finite Element Analysis using ANSYS software.
