Post-operative Sensitivity of a Self-adhesive Restorative Material
Jordan88 participantsStarted 2022-01-01
Plain-language summary
Adhesively restoring teeth using a resin-based composite and a modern dental adhesive is now considered a reliable, predictable, and durable procedure. However, adhering resin-based composite in conditions of suboptimal field control or complex cavity configurations remains challenging. In addition, the continuing discussions on the clinical use of dental amalgam and the feasibility of a phase out of the use of dental amalgam in the long term has become a central concern for restorative dentistry and has led to strong efforts to develop a substitute material for amalgam. With the goal of clinically shorter application times and lower technique sensitivity, the development of an advanced self-adhesive restorative tooth-colored restorative materials (ASAR) that no longer need pre-treatment with a separate adhesive have been under investigation. The aim of this study is to assess the post-operative sensitivity following restoration of teeth using a self-adhesive tooth-colored restorative material and to assess its clinical performance in comparison with conventional resin-based composite in posterior restorations

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?

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?
