Prevention of Spontaneous Dental Abscesses in Children With X-linked Hypophosphatemia : a RCT

Phase 3
Not yet recruiting
Conditions
X-linked Hypophosphatemia (XLH)
Interventions
Device: adhesive system
Device: fluoride varnish
Drug: flowable composite
Registration Number
NCT04872907
Lead Sponsor
Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
Brief Summary

This study is a prospective, randomized, single-blind, split-mouth, national multicenter trial, comparing the efficacy of a self-etch adhesive system combined (SAM) with a flowable composite to that of a fluoride varnish for the prevention of spontaneous dental abscesses in children with XLH. For each patient, according to randomization, one side of the oral cavity is treated with the experimental treatment (application of the adhesive system to healthy anterior and posterior temporary teeth, and application of the flowable composite to healthy posterior temporary teeth), and the other side with the active comparator (fluoride varnish). The application process for both treatments is similar and will be renewed every 6 months (visits at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months) systematically for the SAM and the varnish, and in case of partial or total loss of the composite.

Detailed Description

X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a vitamin D-resistant familial rickets resulting from a mutation of the PHEX gene. One of the major clinical disorders is dental pulp necrosis, which results in "spontaneous" dental abscesses not related to carious lesions or trauma. These abscesses, which occur in about 67% of children with XLH, can lead to serious complications: loss of teeth, disorders of masticatory, phonetic and aesthetic functions, disorders of occlusion and alveolar-dental development, cervicofacial cellulitis, consequences on the psychological development of the child. this study is the first randomized controlled trial for the prevention of these abscesses.

Primary objective is to evaluate whether a non-invasive adhesive technique, combining the application of a self-etch adhesive system (SAM) to all faces (smooth, proximal and occlusal) of all temporary teeth (anterior and posterior) and a flowable composite applied in the grooves of the posterior temporary teeth, is effective in preventing the development of spontaneous abscesses in children with XLH, compared to the application of a fluoride varnish.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
presence of spontaneous dental abscesses24 month after inclusion

Spontaneous dental abscesses is defined at least one of the following criteria, in the absence of cavities or dental trauma:

- Clinical criterion: Clinical vestibular, lingual or palatal gingival abscess , or Fistulized abscess, or Fistula, or Head and neck cellulitis .

- Radiological criteria: Pathological bone radiolucency (periapical or interradicular), visible on a retro-alveolar image.

The occurrence of at least one spontaneous abscess (binary criterion) will be evaluated for each of the treated sites (4 quadrants per child, corresponding to 2 quadrants on each side of the oral cavity). Only abscesses occurring on a tooth with a history of abscess and free from abscess at inclusion will be considered. Abscesses occurring on a tooth with a carious lesion will not be considered.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Correlation beween the occurrence of spontaneous abscesses and the age at which 1alpha-(OH)D3 was initiated24 month after inclusion
infectious complication24 month after inclusion

infectious complication is defined as :sepsis, cavernous sinus thrombophlebitis, mediastinitis, necrotizing fasciits, brain abscess, purulent melting of eye
