King Abdulaziz University

Status: Completed

Conditions: Accelerate Tooth Movement

Treatments: Procedure: piezotome assisted orthodontic tooth movement

Study type: Interventional

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT03180151

078-16

Details and patient eligibility

About

• To compare patients who will undergo orthodontics treatment involving upper premolar extraction for space of time whether with or without corticotomy by Piezotome.
• Assess the safety of both methods of retraction in regard to the quality of the surrounding periodontium and roots of anterior teeth.
• Monitor postoperative pain.

Enrollment: 26 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 26 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• On the basis of the diagnosis of the malocclusion, individuals who have Class I and Class II malocclusions and requiring extraction of premolars and retraction of anterior teeth will be selected (maxillary/mandibular or both).
• Good oral hygiene, healthy gingiva and no evidence of bone loss as seen in radiograph.
• Healthy systemic conditions.
• No previous orthodontic treatment.
• Patient needs to be in permanent dentition (hence, we need to define their age range).

Exclusion criteria

• Patient with systemic disease.
• Patient having any signs of active periodontal disease.
• Patients on long-term corticosteroid therapy.
• Persons taking medications that slows down bone metabolism.
• Craniofacial anomalies.
