Each dentist will place 20 amalgam restorations either unlined (control), or lined with calcium hydroxide cement, rmgi cement, or sealed with a resin bonding agent (total - 640).\n\nPre-operative radiographs and pulp testing will be performed and measurement of cavity size to assess the remaining dental thickness. The pulp status and symptoms will be recorded at 6, 12, and 24 months. Post-operative sensitivity will be recorded by the patient at 1, 3, 7, 14 and 28 days using a visual analogue scale and diary. The dentists will be trained and calibrated to use United States Public Health Service criteria and the condition of the restoration will be assessed at 12 and 24 months.\n\nFor each lining option, one product and one admixed amalgam will be provided for use by all the dentists. Training and instruction will be given on the application of the liners and on amalgam condensation to increase standardisation.\n\nThe collected data will be assessed to identify any association between the outcome variables and the pre-treatment tooth condition or lining material used using logistic regression (α=0.05).'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Healthy adults over 18 years\n* Presence of one or more carious cavities extending beyond the outer 1/3 of the dentine\n* Able to give valid consent to participate in study\n* Willing to receive an amalgam restoration in a target tooth\n* Teeth free from pain\n* Teeth with vital pulps\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Replacement restorations\n* Psychiatric conditions or medication which may affect pain perception.\n* Cavities limited to the outer ⅓ of dentine.\n* Teeth with existing symptoms or sensitivity\n* Patients under 18 years\n* Non-vital teeth\n* Allergy or idiosyncratic reaction to the study materials\n* Inability to return for review\n* Fractured or cracked teeth\n* Pregnancy or breast-feeding'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT02435459', 'briefTitle': 'The Effect of Different Lining Strategies on Amalgam Restorations', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University of Birmingham'}, 'officialTitle': 'The Effect of Different Lining Strategies on Amalgam Restorations', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'RG_12-054'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'PLACEBO_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'No lining', 'description': 'No lining material placed under amalgam dental restoration', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: No lining']}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Calcium hydroxide cement', 'description': 'Placement of calcium hydroxide cement under amalgam dental restorations', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: Calcium Hydroxide cement']}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Bonding agent', 'description': 'Placement of Resin bonding agent under amalgam dental restorations', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: Resin Bonding Agent']}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'RMGI cement', 'description': 'Placement of rmgi lining under amalgam dental restorations', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: RMGI cement']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'No lining', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'description': 'No lining material placed under amalgam dental restorations', 'armGroupLabels': ['No lining']}, {'name': 'Calcium Hydroxide cement', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'description': 'placement of lining material under amalgam dental restorations', 'armGroupLabels': ['Calcium hydroxide cement']}, {'name': 'RMGI cement', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'description': 'placement of lining material under amalgam dental restorations', 'armGroupLabels': ['RMGI cement']}, {'name': 'Resin Bonding Agent', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'description': 'placement of lining material under amalgam dental restorations', 'armGroupLabels': ['Bonding agent']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': 'B4 6NN', 'city': 'Birmingham', 'state': 'West Midlands', 'status': 'RECRUITING', 'country': 'United Kingdom', 'contacts': [{'name': 'Dominic A Stewardson, PhD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'd.a.stewardson@bham.ac.uk', 'phone': '0121 4665489'}, {'name': 'Kirsty B Hill, PhD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'K.B.Hill@bham.ac.uk', 'phone': '0121 4665488'}], 'facility': 'University of Birmingham, School of Dentistry', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 52.48142, 'lon': -1.89983}}], 'centralContacts': [{'name': 'Dominic A Stewardson, PhD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'd.a.stewardson@bham.ac.uk', 'phone': '0121 4665489'}, {'name': 'Kirsty B Hill, PhD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'K.B.Hill@bham.ac.uk', 'phone': '0121 4665488'}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Dominic A Stewardson, PhD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'University of Birmingham, School of Dentistry'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'University of Birmingham', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'collaborators': [{'name': 'Shirley Glasstone Hughes Trust Fund', 'class': 'UNKNOWN'}], 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Senior Lecturer in Restorative Dentistry', 'investigatorFullName': 'Dominic Stewardson', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'University of Birmingham'}}}}
