Effect of Provisional-Crown Surface Coating on Biofilm Formation

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Auto polymerizing poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA), and light initiated resin modified PMMAs, are commonly used for fabricating provisional restorations (PRs) during prosthetic treatment 1. Biofilm accumulated on these PRs may cause caries and inflammation of the surrounding tissue, tempering the outcome of the final restoration 2. Plaque adherence to temporary restorations was significantly increased compared with the untreated reference teeth 3. Biologic and physical properties of the various materials used as PRs were studied extensively 4-8 whereas their interaction with bacterial biofilm in vivo and ex vivo is less characterized.

One improvement in provisional restorative materials is the use of liquid polish. It is claimed that these materials gives a high luster finish to provisional bis-acryl restorations and processed acrylic appliances, reduces or eliminates costly and time consuming polishing steps and can be used on all types of direct and indirect restorations and appliances.The effect of liquid polish coating or resin bonding coating on biofilm formation on PRs was not reported.

The effect of liquid polish coating or resin bonding coating on biofilm formation on PRs was not reported. In this study we intend to measure, in vivo early biofilm formation on PMMA PRs with and without resin coatings. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
