Summary

This study aims to evaluate and compare the skeletal, dental and soft tissue changes, the levels of pain and discomfort and the effect on periodontal health and teeth vitality associated to traditional corticotomy and flapless corticotomy in the retraction of upper anterior teeth.

40 patients requiring extraction of maxillary first premolars and maximum anchorage to retract the upper anterior teeth will participate in the study. They will be divided randomly into two groups : flapless corticotomy (20 patients) and traditional corticotomy (20 patients). Pre-retraction, corticotomy will be performed in the maxillary anterior segment. The skeletal, dental and soft tissue changes will be performed using lateral cephalometric radiographs which will be obtained pretreatment, pre and post en-masse retraction of the anterior teeth and we will also use the dental casts to evaluate the dental changes.

Conditions

  • Class II Div 1 Malocclusion
  • Protrusion, Incisor

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Flapless corticotomy surgical intervention will be conducted

Piezocision will be used to perform the procedure

PROCEDURE

Traditional corticotomy

Here the surgery involves elevation of flaps and then conducting the surgical intervention using piezo-surgery cutting saws.
