Effect of Surface Sealant Application on Clinical Performance Occlusal Restorations
40 participantsStarted 2014-07-01
Plain-language summary
The aim was to evaluate the clinical performance of HEMA-containing and HEMA-free all-in-one self-etch adhesives with and without a surface sealing process with a nanohybrid composite in occlusal caries restorations. The hypothesis is that the HEMA-containing and HEMA-free all-in-one self-etch adhesive and the surface sealing process would significantly effect clinical performance of occlusal restorations.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* patients who received four direct Class I composite restorations, those with good oral hygiene with no active periodontal or pulpal diseases, whose permanent first or second molar required restorations for occlusal carious lesions with neighboring teeth and were in occlusion with antagonist teeth, and were willing to return for follow-up examinations as outlined by the investigators.
Exclusion Criteria:
* patients with uncontrolled parafunction, those presenting with poor oral hygiene and disinterested in or refused oral hygiene instructions, molars and premolars with carious lesions on a surface other than the occlusal surface and in continuity with the occlusal cavity, pulp exposure during caries removal procedure or cavities with the risk of pulp exposure, having spontaneous pain or sensitivity to percussion, and patients with periodontal or gingival disease.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
