Clinical Evaluation of a Universal Adhesive in Noncarious Cervical Lesions

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Cervical Lesions
Interventions
Procedure: Self etch enamel etching
Procedure: selective etch protocol
Device: Adhese Universal
Registration Number
NCT02172664
Lead Sponsor
Indiana University
Brief Summary

The purpose of this prospective clinical trial will be to evaluate the efficacy of an FDA approved and marketed universal dental adhesive formulation in adult noncarious cervical lesions using self-etch and selective etch approaches.

The hypothesis is that using a selective enamel etch with this universal adhesive will enhance the restoration margin performance.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this prospective clinical trial will be to evaluate the efficacy of a newly formulated universal dental adhesive formulation in adult noncarious cervical lesions using self-etch and selective etch approaches.

Thirty-three patients with at least two non-carious cervical lesions will receive one restoration utilizing the self-etch universal adhesive with no separate enamel etching and another restoration utilizing the universal adhesive and a a selective etch protocol in which in which enamel is etched with 37% phosphoric acid.

After a screening/baseline visit at which the restorative procedures listed above will conducted, the patient will be seen at recall visits after approximately 6, 12 and 24 months to observe sensitivity, retention, marginal discoloration and marginal adaptation.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Retention of Restorations6, 12, 24 months

The primary outcome measure will be restoration retention. In these non-retentive dental lesions, the adhesive will be the only mode of retention. Failure of the adhesive would result in loss of the restoration.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Restoration Margins Marked as Stained or Discolored6, 12, 24 months

The secondary outcome measure was the presence of discoloration of restoration margins as determined by blinded evaluators.
