RecruitingPhase 1Ages 5 Years - 14 YearsAllUniversity of Southern California
๐Ÿ’ฌ

In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Background: Sealants are a great tool in the prevention of caries in the pediatric population. It has been shown that up to 71% of occlusal decay is preventable after a single sealant application in a fissure, and thus is the standard of care due to difficulty for pediatric patients in hygiene, diet, and overall home care until manual dexterity increases. Purpose: This prospective randomized case control study aims to look at the longevity of sealants with bonding agent cured prior to sealant placement vs those with uncured bond. The study will be performed by USC graduate pediatric personnel. Methods: A split mouth prospective randomized control study will be performed on pediatric dental patients at Long Beach Memorial's Children's Dental Health Clinic and USC Pediatric Dental Clinic, placing sealants with cured bond on half of a mouth and sealants with uncured bond on the contralate

For example a child with #30 and #19 present will qualify for the study. Exclusion Criteria * Any tooth with previous sealant placement * Children who are allergic or intolerant to sealant material * Children who cannot tolerate a dental suction isolation system, such as DryShield isolation * Children who do not complete a prophy cup polish. * Children who present with banded or bracketed molars * Patients or Parents who cannot fully understand an English or Spanish Consent/ Assent form. Withdrawal Criteria * Patients can withdraw voluntarily at any time. * Any tooth which has progression of caries beyond ICCMS Category 3 will be withdrawn from the study. These teeth will be treated with appropriate restorative dental treatment according to the standard of care. * Any qualifying tooth that subsequently requires a restoration due to trauma will be withdrawn from the study. * Any patient with an adverse reaction to treatment will be withdrawn.
