Summary

The purpose of this pilot clinical trial is to evaluate whether alveolar-decortication has the potential to reduce orthodontic treatment time following surgical exposure of palatally impacted canines.

Conditions

  • Palatally Impacted Canines

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Alveolar-decortication.

Following surgical exposure of the impacted tooth, the surgeon will prepare small holes (perforations) and/or grooves in the cortical bone surrounding the exposed tooth as well as in the buccal bone.
