Clinical Performance of Novel Coconut Based Restorative Material.

Pakistan60 participantsStarted 2026-06-01

Plain-language summary

A triple-blind, parallel group, randomized trial with an allocation ratio of 1:1. Participants randomly allocated into two groups A and B. In group A, nano-reinforced glass ionomer restoration will be utilized while in group B, glass ionomer restoration without nanoparticles was used. Parameters of clinical performance measured will be: A. Surface structure B. Anatomical shape C. marginal adhesion. Clinical performance of Restorations will be assessed with4-level Ryge's scale at baseline, after 1, 3 and 6 months. The numerical Ryge's scale will be used for comparison of quality of restoration in subsequent control clinical examinations and tracking its changes over time. Parameters will be evaluated on standardized scale 0-3. Restorations that will be rated 0 (very good - ideal condition) and 1 (satisfying - requiring minor corrections) will be considered clinically acceptable. Restorations with rating 2 (need for deferred replacement of the restoration) or 3 (unacceptable - restoration needs to be replaced immediately) will be considered clinically unacceptable.

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.

What they're measuring

Measure clinical behavior of restorations with the use of a 4-level Ryge's scale having 0-3 standardized scale. Parameters measured will be; 1. Surface structure 2-. Anatomical shape 3. marginal adhesion

Timeframe: 6 months
