Al-Azhar University

Status: Active, not recruiting

Details and patient eligibility

About

The aim of the study will be directed to evaluate the effect of micro-osteoperforation on orthodontic tooth movement during leveling and alignment of the maxillary anterior teeth.

Full description

The current study will be conducted on a group of orthodontic patients attending the out patients clinic, Orthodontic Department, Faculty of Dental Medicine (Boys), AL- Azhar University, Cairo

The patient will be randomly assigned into two equal groups:

1. Experimental group: Flapless micro-osteoperforations will be performed interproximally on the alveolar bone equidistant between upper right canine to upper left canine at every interdental alveolar bone except at the midline

   alveolar bone to prevent trauma to the soft tissue frenum before placing the initial leveling archwire.

2. Control group: leveling and alignment will be commenced without micro- osteoperforations.

Enrollment: 28 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 13 to 19 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• 1. Class 1 skeletal pattern with normal facial proportions. 2. Patients with age range between 13 -19 years. 3. Moderate crowding of maxillary anterior region assessed by Little Irregularity Index (LII) that require treatment with fixed appliance using non extraction approach.

  2. All permanent teeth erupted (excluding 3rd molars). 5. No previous orthodontic treatment. 6. Good oral hygiene with no previous periodontal surgery.

Exclusion criteria

• 1. Transverse and/or vertical skeletal dysplasia or craniofacial malformation. 2. Retained primary or missing permanent teeth in the maxillary anterior area. 3. Poor oral hygiene 4. Present or history of periodontal diseases. 5. Physical or mental disability. 6. Systemic diseases or regular use of medications that could interfere with orthodontic tooth movement.
