Flapless Laser Corticotomy

Details and patient eligibility

About

This study is conducted to evaluate the effects of flapless laser corticotomy on the rate of canine retraction.

Enrollment: 14 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Full complement of teeth with no congenitally missing teeth except 3rd molars.
• Minor or no crowding cases requires four premolars extraction, canine retraction & maximum anchorage with bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion.
• No history of previous orthodontic treatment
• Clinically healthy patients with no history of drug intake and\or no history for any systemic illness, syndromes, craniofacial deformities.
• Vital teeth with normal periodontium and no root resorption.
• Adequate oral hygiene; probing depth values not exceeding 3 mm across the entire dentition; adequate thickness of the attached gingiva (1-2 mm).
• No radiographic evidence of bone loss.

Exclusion criteria

• Systemic disease that might have affected bone formation or density, such as osteoporosis, hyperparathyroidism, or vitamin D deficiency.
• Presence of any local or systemic surgical contraindication.
• Extracted or missing permanent tooth/teeth except for 3rd molars.
• Facial asymmetry

14 participants in 4 patient groups

Maxillary flapless laser corticotomy group

Experimental group

Description:

Flapless laser corticotomy will randomly be assigned to one side of the 14 maxillary arches (experimental side) before canine retraction.

Maxillary control group

Active Comparator group

Description:

Canine retraction will be done on the other side without Laser corticotomy .

Treatment:

Treatment:

Other: Flapless laser corticotomy

Other: Canine retraction

Mandibular control group

Active Comparator group

Description:

Canine retraction will be done on the other side without Laser corticotomy .
