Clinical Trial Summary

This clinical trial is a national multicenter randomized controlled trial performed in parallel groups aiming to validate a treatment that preserves pulp vitality of mature permanent posterior teeth through partial removal of carious tissue and restoring tooth structure using a simple filling in one session, thus delaying premature tooth aging.

Two successive randomizations will be performed (allocation ratio 1:1); firstly for the type of excavation carried out (partial vs. complete caries removal) and secondly for the nature of the adhesive used (antibacterial adhesive vs. non-antibacterial adhesive). The second randomization will not be carried out for teeth requiring endodontic treatment after the first randomization.

The study's primary objective will be to compare, at 1 year of follow-up, the efficacy (binary success criteria) of partial caries removal versus complete caries removal in occlusal or proximal deep lesions of mature permanent posterior teeth (bicuspids and molars except third molars). Secondary objectives will include the comparison, at 1 year of follow-up, of the efficacy (binary success criteria) of an antibacterial two-step self-etch adhesive versus a traditional non-antibacterial two-step self-etch adhesive. Another secondary objective will be to compare, at two and three years of follow-up, the efficacy of partial versus complete caries removal.

The primary outcome is the success of the caries removal protocol at one year, measured according to 5 FDI criteria, while the secondary outcome is the contribution of the functional and biological dimensions of the 5 FDI criteria items to determining success or failure of the treatment. The outcome of success will be the same for all objectives, primary and secondary.

Related Conditions & MeSH terms


Intervention

Procedure:
A one-step partial caries removal procedure for the treatment of deep carious lesions in posterior permanent teeth.
Instruments and procedures: Soprolife® (Acteon, La Ciotat, France) dental imaging device to detect dentinal infection status. The green-black light indicates infected dentin, red indicates infected/affected dentin and green indicates healthy dentinal tissue. Sterile round bur under water spray coolant followed by final excavation with hand instruments The clinician will remove the superficial necrotic and demineralized dentin with complete excavation of the peripheral demineralized dentin, avoiding excavation close to the pulp. Hand instruments will be used for final excavation following clinical criteria guidelines (color of residual dentin and probe resistance) and taking in to consideration the color data obtained by the Soprolife® camera. The operator will stop excavating when the dentin close to the pulp appears red (for infected dentin).
A complete caries removal procedure for the treatment of deep carious lesions in posterior permanent teeth.
Instruments and procedures: Idem partial excavation arm. In the complete excavation arm, the operator will stop excavating when the dentin close to the pulp appears green (for healthy dentin tissue) using the Soprolife® camera, leaving no infected or affected dentin.
Device:
The application of an antibacterial dental adhesive (ClearfilTM SE Protect, Kuraray Dental).
Enamel and dentin will be conditioned according to the manufacturer's instructions. Both antibacterial and conventional adhesives are two-steps bonding systems. The first step consists of the application of a primer to the enamel and dentin for 20 seconds (which allows the completion of etching and priming procedures). The second step consists of the application of the antibacterial adhesive and its light curing for 10 seconds.
The application of a conventional dental adhesive (ClearfilTM SE Bond, Kuraray Dental)
Idem antibacterial dental adhesive arm. A conventional dental adhesive will be used instead of an antibacterial.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Probability of success in arm P (Partial Caries Removal) compared to arm C (Complete Caries Removal) using a composite criteria of success summarized as a binary success criteria (cf. description below) Cases will be considered as successful if each of the 5 following criteria described by the World Dental Federation (FDI) present a score of 3 or less:
Fracture of material and retention (item 5)
Marginal adaptation (item 6)
Radiographic examination (including apical pathologies) (item 9)
Post-operative sensitivity and tooth vitality (item 11)
Recurrence of caries (item 12) Criteria 5, 6 and 9 are functional criteria while criteria 11 and 12 are biological criteria.
Considering a score of 4 or 5 as failure means that a re-intervention on the tooth (score 4) would be considered as a failure in the context of this study.
Adverse events will be recorded and reported as general safety outcomes.
