Orthodontic Extrusion of High Risk Impacted Mandibular Third Molar

Alexandria University

Status: Completed

Conditions: Inferior Alveolar Nerve Injuries

Treatments: Procedure: Orthodontic extrusion of the impacted mandibular third molar by using the maxillary miniscrew and cross arch elastic power chain as a temporary anchorage device before extraction

Study type: Interventional

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT06538688

OEIMTM

Details and patient eligibility

About

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the usage of maxillary miniscrew and cross-arch elastics for the orthodontic traction of the impacted mandibular third molar in close proximity to the inferior alveolar nerve to decrease the chance of nerve injury

Full description

To investigate the traction of the impacted mandibular third molar away from the inferior alveolar nerve by using the orthodontic miniscrew in the maxillary bone and cross-arch elastic power chain as a temporary anchorage device before extraction to avoid injury of the nerve and neurosensory complications.

Enrollment: 9 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 19 to 40 years old
