Cervical Abrasion, Quality of Life
Conditions
Brief summary
The study will compare two different dental materials on dental lesions near the gum line that cause chronic pain on oral health related quality of life.
Detailed description
The study will compare two different dental materials on dental lesions near the gum line. One of the materials is tooth colored and the other material is white but both materials use different mechanisms to attach to the teeth and may have different outcomes. The study will determine if one material is more effective in relieving chronic pain. In addition, we will evaluate changes in oral health related quality of life after the placement of the two different dental materials.
Interventions
Application of a tooth colored filling in a non-cavitated dental lesion.
Application of a white colored filling in a non-cavitated dental lesion.

Intervention model description
One group will be treated with a tooth colored filling that will be placed near the gum line. The second group will be treated with a white colored filling that will be placed near the gum line.
Eligibility

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Global Base Changes of Pain | baseline, week1, week 2, 3 month follow up | A one survey description detailing the changes in pain over time based on the following scale: 1. -No change (or condition has gotten worse) 2. -Almost the same, hardly any change at all 3. -A little better, but no noticeable change 4. -Somewhat better, but the change has not made any real difference 5. -Moderately better, and a slight but noticeable change 6. -Better and a definite improvement that has made a real and worthwhile difference 7. -A great deal better and a considerable improvement that has made all the difference |
| Oral Health Related Quality of Life Using a Survey With 49 Questions | Baseline, week1, week 2, 3 month follow up | A survey of 49 questions to assess oral health related quality of life. The scale measured 49 questions with a yes (1) or no (0) answers with a possible range of 0-49. The more answers of yes will indicate a higher score on the survey, which describes poorer oral health related quality of life. A lower number reflects better oral health related quality of life. A maximum score of 49 is the worst outcome. |
| Brief Pain Inventory | Baseline, week1, week 2, 3 month follow up | 6 questions were used to measure pain on a sliding scale from 1-100 at each time point. The scale ranged from 1 being no pain and 100 being extreme pain. The higher the number reflects worse the pain compared to a lower number. The maximum range from the participants was 600 (maximum) and the lowest range of 0 for all questions. The data reflects the averaged sum for each time point for all patients in each arm. |

Outcome results
Brief Pain Inventory
6 questions were used to measure pain on a sliding scale from 1-100 at each time point. The scale ranged from 1 being no pain and 100 being extreme pain. The higher the number reflects worse the pain compared to a lower number. The maximum range from the participants was 600 (maximum) and the lowest range of 0 for all questions. The data reflects the averaged sum for each time point for all patients in each arm.
