No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This experimental study will evaluate the effect of combined treatment with low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) and functional appliances (twin-block) on the correction of class II malocclusion, compared with the control group treated with functional appliances (twin-block) only.

The study sample will consist of 40 patients with class II malocclusion. The sample will be allocated randomly into two groups: control group and experimental group.

The functional appliance (twin-block) will be applied for all patients, while the low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) will be applied for the experimental group only. The skeleto-dental changes occurring after functional treatment will be assessed using cephalometric radiographs; pre and post- treatment changes for each group will be evaluated individually, and the two groups will be compared.
