Non-invasive Caries Management: Clinical Study

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Clinical trial to compare non-invasive and minimally-invasive therapies on the progression of the caries lesions. Clinical investigation of resin infiltration versus sodium fluoride (5% NaF) varnish application.

Clinical Trial Description

Dental caries is the most globally prevalent disease that affects thousands of adults and children. Caries is a biofilm‐mediated, sugar‐driven, multifactorial, and dynamic disease that results from the imbalance between demineralization and remineralization of the dental hard tissues. Preventing the onset of the disease should be the primary goal; however, once the disease is present efforts should be made by both patient and clinician to successfully reestablish the mineralization balance by the use of preventive and/or minimally-invasive methods when possible. The sodium fluoride (5% NaF) varnish is one of the most common therapies used as a non-invasive approach for caries prevention and remineralization; and, the resin infiltration materials are indicated for the minimal intervention of non-cavitated occlusal and proximal caries. The minimal intervention has been considered the new concept of caries management. Although several studies discussing minimal intervention or non-intervention are available, there is a lack of published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) providing data about the use of non-invasive therapies on incipient lesions, and its correlation with the patient's caries risk. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy non-invasive and minimally-invasive therapies on the progression of the caries lesions considering the patient's caries risk.

This study will be conducted in the province of Ontario, Canada. A total of thirty patients (15 to 50 years old), who present with a minimum of two incipient proximal carious lesions on the proximal surfaces of posterior teeth (non-cavitated lesions identified as small, faint radiolucent areas seen on the intra-oral radiographs) will be asked to participate in this study. The radiologic assessment of incipient lesions will be performed by a dental radiologist, blinded to the selected treatment groups, by comparison of the radiographs imaging over time. ;

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.
