Study summary

Clinical performance of indirect adhesive restorations - onlays, overlays- luted with light-cured composite resin will be evaluated over three years.

Read the detailed description

Indirect adhesive restorations are indicated in large Class II defects, replacement of large compromised existing restorations or endodontically treated teeth where cuspal protection is required. The need to perform adhesive restorations of posterior teeth is not only linked to esthetic purposes, but also have possibility of strengthening the remaining tooth structure. Indirect technique decreases polymerization shrinkage, reduces microleakage and also improves the marginal seal when comparing direct resin composites. Furthermore, it provides improved physical and mechanical properties, ideal occlusal morphology, more precise control of proximal contours and contacts. Indirect adhesive restorations are classically delivered with an adhesive procedure including dual-cure cement. Updated approaches now include the use of composite resins as luting agent.

This study will be carried out as a prospective study, with assessment of the restorations after three years. PASS 11 Software was used to calculate the sample size. At least 77 indirect adhesive restorations will be included for this study. Patients referred to Istanbul Okan University Faculty of Dentistry between 2016-2017 who had returned for the baseline recall and at least one year recall after the treatment will be invited for eligibility to participate in the study. 83 indirect adhesive restorations in at least 60 patients will be included. The patients who will not meet all the inclusion criteria will be excluded from the study. A signed informed consent form will be obtained from all patients before beginning the study.

Restorations will be evaluated clinically and radiographically according to FDI World Dental Federation criteria over 3-year period. Three main groups- esthetic, functional, biological properties- and their sub-categorizes of FDI World Dental Federation criteria will be scored on a scale of 1 to 5. Statistical analysis will be performed using R (v.3.5.3) Software and the SIGN.test function in the BSDA package (p \<0.05).

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Indirect restorations luted with light-cured composite resin.

    Subjects for the study will be identified from patients who had treated with indirect adhesive restorations onlay or overlay during the period 2016 to 2017 was performed at Istanbul Okan University Faculty of Dentistry by an experienced clinician. Local anesthesia was applied if necessary. After caries and/or failed restorations were removed, the preparations were performed according to defined principles for adhesive onlays/overlays. At least one cuspal coverage was required for each restoration. All undercuts were eliminated using composite resin. Following the cavity preparation, immediate dentin sealing was applied and polymerized prior to impression taking. Indirect restorations were designed and fabricated with CEREC system. Surface treatments and clinical protocols were performed under manufacturer's instructions. Adhesive cementation with composite resin procedure was carried out with the rubber-dam isolation.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. FDI World Dental Federation criteria

    Restorations will be evaluated clinically using dental explorer, mirror, dental loupe and radiographically according to FDI World Dental Federation criteria over 3-year period. Two calibrated observers who are not involved in the placement of the restorations are responsible for the evaluations. Esthetic properties: Surface lustre, surface staining, marginal staining, color match and translucency, esthetical anatomical form Functional properties: Fracture of material and retention, marginal adaptation, occlusal contour and wear, approximal anatomical form, radiographic examination, patient's view. Biological properties: Recurrence of caries, erosion, abfraction, tooth integrity, periodontal response, adjacent mucosa, oral and general health.

    Time frame: at 3 years

Started Dec 2019 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jun 2020, 5 months after the start.

Of 458 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Dental Caries, half reached primary completion within 16 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 31. This study's planned 5 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 486 studies reached it within 15 months; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 31.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 5, 2020, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
