Summary

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of using full thickness mucoperiosteal flap (FTMPF) elevation only versus low level laser therapy (LLLT) on acceleration of orthodontic tooth movement.

Conditions

  • Mesial Movement of Teeth

Interventions

PROCEDURE

elevation of full thickness mucoperiosteal flap

A free gingival sulcular incision was done from the distal surface of maxillary second premolar to the mesial side of the maxillary canine. A releasing oblique incision was done including the interdental papilla between maxillary canine and lateral incisor extending to the mucogingival junction just beyond the attached mucosa. The flap reflection extended beyond the canine root apex. A FTMPF reflection was done with mucoperiosteal elevator. Free sulcus incision was done to allow elevation of palatal mucosa by tunneling technique on the palatal gingiva of maxillary canine.

DEVICE

low level laser therapy

LLLT was done using a diode soft laser (Epic X, BioLase, USA). It is a semiconductor diode soft laser. Active medium is In-Ga-As with 940nm wave length. LLLT protocol was using active laser tip (bleaching tip)
