简要总结
This clinical trial investigates relative benefits (clinical effectiveness and quality of life) of two extraction patterns when lower first permanent molars (FPM) are extracted in children The study objectives are to determine whether compensating extraction of upper FPMs following loss of lower FPMs in children is of benefit. The particular benefits being investigated are related to the resulting occlusion, patient experience and oral health related quality of life. The follow up will extend over a period of 5 years or until the patient is 14 years of age - whichever is earlier.
详细描述
The study has been designed as a randomised controlled clinical trial. The control group will have the normal standard intervention receiving routine patient care with the normal practice of upper and lower extractions, whilst the intervention group will have removal of the lower tooth but no upper extraction. Study recruitment will take place over an 18 month period and will be based in the Dundee Dental Hospital Orthodontic and Paediatric Dentistry Departments. Patients are referred to this department from their General Dental Practitioner.
Consent of the patients will be carried out by the attending dentists who will have received training on the study design and protocol, including RGF and consenting patients for clinical trials.
Data will be collected contemporaneously using the Case Report Forms. Additional data which will be collected for the purposes of the study will include COHQoL questionnaires and measurements from 3D images of models of the teeth.
At subsequent 1 year and five year review visits dental study 3D models will be repeated, and the CRF completed together with the COHQoL questionnaire for that visit.

研究组 & 干预措施
Compensatory Extraction
Patients allocated to this group, both the upper FPM and lower FPM teeth will be extracted.
干预措施: Extraction of upper and lower FPM teeth (Procedure)
No Compensatory Extraction
Patients allocated to this group, only the lower FPM tooth will be extracted.
干预措施: Extraction of lower FPM tooth (Procedure)
结局指标
主要结局
Extent of tipping of the lower second permanent molars
时间窗: 5 year
The primary outcome measure is extent of tipping of the lower second permanent molar, with a favourable outcome being a degree of tipping less than 15°, and unfavourable outcome being greater than 15°. Participants will be allocated into 'favourable' or 'unfavourable' outcome groups when comparing study models, cast from dental impressions taken at baseline with 1 year and 5 year follow up or when the patient reaches 14 years of age, whichever is first.
次要结局
- position of the upper FPMs with regard to over-eruption(1 year and 5 year)
- residual spacing between the lower second permanent molar and the lower second premolar*;(1 year and 5 year)
- American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) scores(1 year and 5 year)
- the type of anaesthetic used during procedures(at baseline only)
- dental or orthodontic treatment carried out during the follow-up period(1 year and 5 year)
- Child and Parent Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) scores(1 year and 5 year)
