Which fillings and crowns survive two years in a Child's mouth?
NCT ID NCT07827833
First seen Sep 18, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026
Summary
Many young children with extensive tooth decay or special health needs receive full-mouth dental repair under general anesthesia. Dentists use a mix of fillings, crowns, and other materials, but little is known about how well each option holds up over time. This study follows 180 children for two years after their dental rehabilitation to record which restorations fail, why they fail, and which materials perform best.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If researchers learn which materials hold up best, dentists could choose fillings and crowns that last longer and spare children repeat visits and repeat anesthesia.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it cannot prove one material causes better outcomes than another. Results may reflect the specific children treated and the skills of the clinicians involved, and they may not apply to every dental practice.

Who is studied
The study population will consist of children aged 3-6 years who require comprehensive full-mouth dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia because of extensive dental caries and/or extensive restorative treatment needs. Participants will receive restorative and full-coverage dental treatments as part of routine clinical care, with the selection of restorative materials and treatment methods determined by the treating clinician according to the child's clinical needs. Participants will be prospectively followed for 24 months to evaluate the clinical performance, survival, and failure rates of the restorations placed during dental rehabilitation.

Inclusion Criteria: * Children requiring comprehensive/full-mouth dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia because of extensive dental treatment needs. * Children receiving restorative and/or full-coverage dental treatments as part of routine clinical care. * Children whose parents provide written informed consent for participation and follow-up. * Children whose planned treatment allows clinical evaluation of the restorations for the intended 24-month follow-up period. * Children whose parents or legal guardians are willing and able to attend the scheduled follow-up visits for up to 24 months. Exclusion Criteria: * Children for whom the planned dental rehabilitation cannot be completed because of medical or anesthetic considerations. * Children with systemic or medical conditions that are expected to substantially affect oral healing, caries progression, or restoration survival. * Children unlikely to attend or complete the scheduled 24-month follow-up. * Children with inadequate clinical records or insufficient baseline information required for assessment of restoration outcomes.
