Damascus University

Status: Completed

Conditions: Crowded Teeth; Malocclusion, Angle Class I

Treatments: Procedure: periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics

Study type: Interventional

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT03659097

Details and patient eligibility

About

Patients at the Orthodontic Department of University of Damascus Dental School will be examined and subjects who meet the inclusion criteria will be included. Then, initial diagnostic records (diagnostic gypsum models, internal and external oral photographs, as well as radiographic images) will be studied to ensure that the selection criteria are accurately matched.

The aim of this study is to compare two groups of patients with moderate crowding of the lower anterior teeth First group (Experimental): the patients in this group will be treated with orthodontic fixed appliances + surgery to the alveolus of the lower anterior teeth in order to induce remodeling of the bony structures and enhance orthodontic movement.

Second group (Control): the patients in this group will be treated using fixed appliances with any acceleration method.

Enrollment: 38 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 28 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

• No congenitally missing or extracted teeth (except for the third molars).

Exclusion criteria

• Bi-maxillary severe dental protrusion.
