Clinical Trial for Avulsed and Replanted Peranent Teeth
- A Request for Patients
Referrals are invited of suitable children who have avulsed and had replanted a permanent tooth or teeth. The trial will look at the success of two follow up protocols. Children can be accepted onto the trial where the initial replantation and splinting has been carried out by a general dental practitioner, community dentist or within a hospital setting (A and E or Maxillofacial surgery).
The study is a multi-centred randomised controlled trial involving five centres (Leeds, Glasgow, Belfast, Newcastle and Eastman, London). Please refer the child, to the nearest centre, as soon as possible after the emergency treatment (replantation and splinting), since to be included in the trial they must be seen within ten days. Each patient requires five visits to the participating dental hospital over a period of one year where all follow up treatment for the avulsed tooth will be provided.
For more detail of the inclusion criteria or any other information please contact Peter Day on 07963 054090 or p.f.day@leeds.ac.uk or the Principal investigator at each centre. As this is a paediatric study only children under the age of 16 will be admitted.
Suitable children will be consented by staff at the dental hospital. Those children referred but unwilling or not fulfilling the inclusion criteria will not prejudice the care they receive.
Please see the downloadable documents on the right for further information.
