Restorations and Furcation Involvement on Molars

NCT05481580 | Unknown DMC

• 1 other identifier: Perio2
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 200
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The aim of this study will be to analyze the relationship between the presence of second class restorations (interproximal fillings) or prostheses (crowns, bridges) on molar teeth and the presence of bone resorption between the roots of the latter. Patients with this type of restorations will be identified and a non-interventional clinical and radiographic analysis will be conducted.

Conditions

Furcation Defects

Keywords

Furcation Defects; Dental Restoration, Permanent; Dental Crowns

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Presence of furcation

  The presence of bone resorption between the roots of the molar

  At the time of evaluation, the first time the patients is seen (time 0)

Study Arms (2)

Restored

Molars with a 2nd class restoration or a crown

Diagnostic Test: Periodontal probing

Non-restored

Molars with no restorations

Diagnostic Test: Periodontal probing

Interventions

Periodontal probing DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The teeth involved will be probed to assess probing depth, presence of furcation, bleeding. A radiograph will be taken to assess the length of the root trunk and the presence of root canal treatment

Also known as: Radiograph

Non-restored; Restored

Eligibility Criteria

• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Periodontal maintenance patients who have restored and non-restored molars present both with and without furcation involvement.

You may qualify if:

• Patients who have molars both with and without restorations
• Restorations presents for at least 5 years

You may not qualify if:

• Patients who do not want to undergo evaluation
• Patients who cannot undergo radiation (pregnant women)
