Active clinical trials for "Tooth Wear"

Clinical trials of bite splint use and night time tooth grinding have not been performed. Consequently, there are no definitive outcome measures or efficacy standards that can be applied to large clinical trials. The present preliminary trial will determine what objective measures can be used to evaluate efficacy. The outcome variables will fall into four categories: (1) fabrication efficacy, (2) compliance, (3) functional efficacy, and (4) user satisfaction. The immediate goals will: (1) focus on the over-the counter SOVA night guard, (2) conduct tests under controlled clinical conditions using the 'gold standard', the acrylic 'bite splint' or 'orthotic', hereafter called the "Michigan bite splint", to compare the performance and efficacy of the SOVA night guard. Subsequent studies will be able to use the outcome variables identified in this study for broader clinical trials. Specific Aim 1. To compare the SOVA night guard to the custom-acrylic Michigan bite splint in clinical laboratory conditions. Hypothesis: There will be no significant differences between the devices in terms of fabrication efficacy, functional efficacy or user satisfaction. Specific Aim 2. To compare the SOVA night guard to the custom-acrylic Michigan bite splint under ecologically relevant conditions, i.e., the home environment. Hypothesis: There will be no significant differences between the devices in terms of compliance or functional efficacy.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a minimally invasive treatment, consisting of partial polymer-infiltrated-ceramic-network (PICN) restorations, used in case of rehabilitation of advanced and generalized dental wear over a period of 5 years.

The aim of this research is to investigate the impact of dietary advice on the progression of tooth wear over 6 months using a randomised clinical trial design. Participants with severe tooth wear will be recruited. Half of those patients will receive a detailed dietary advice and the other half will be receive standard of care dietary advice. Moulds will be made of their mouths at the original appointment and 6 months later. These moulds will be scanned and superimposed to see if there is any difference in their level of tooth wear

LAVA Ultimate composite restorations will be used as restorative material to reconstruct severely worn dentitions.

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the wear of enamel opposed by Newly Introduced Gradient Monolithic Zirconia compared to that of enamel opposed by Full Strength Monolithic Zirconia

Tooth wear is a physiological process occurring from normal functioning of the dentition throughout lifetime.

Clinical performance of indirect adhesive restorations - onlays, overlays- luted with light-cured composite resin will be evaluated over three years.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the antagonist enamel wear of two processing options of Celtra duo crowns (polished and glaze fired) restoring posterior teeth in comparison with sound enamel wear at baseline and 6 months

Clinical performance of indirect adhesive restorations - onlays, overlays- luted with light-cured composite resin will be evaluated.

The aim of this study is through a randomized clinical trial, double blind, splith-mouth, evaluate the retention rate of restorative protocols of Non-carious cervical lesion. The presence of gingival displacement with a retraction cord (yes or no) and the category of adhesive system (etch-and-rise and self-etching) will be evaluated. Data will be collected, tabulated and submitted to statistical analysis.
