Efficacy and Periodontal Parameters in Self-ligating Brackets Alone or With Corticotomy vs Conventional Brackets

NCT04950829 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 57

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Patients who have severe crowding on the upper jaw that requires two first premolars extraction will be enrolled in this trial. The different types of brackets, such as self-ligating brackets and conventional brackets, and the various acceleration methods, such as corticotomy, have different effects on the orthodontic treatment time and the periodontal tissues. So, this study will assess and compare the overall leveling and aligning time and the changes in periodontal indices between patients with severe crowding, treating with self-ligating brackets associated with flapless corticotomy versus conventional brackets alone versus self-ligating brackets alone.

There are three groups:

The first group (control group): the patients in this group will be treated using conventional brackets alone.

The second group (Experimental group): the patients in this group will be treated using self-ligating brackets alone.

The third group (Experimental group): the patients in this group will be treated using self-ligating brackets associated with flapless corticotomy.

Conditions

  • Crowding of Anterior Maxillary Teeth

Interventions

DEVICE

Conventional brackets

These brackets are used in a conventional way, where the orthodontist used to apply elastic parts to engage the arch to the slot of the brackets.

DEVICE

Self-ligating brackets

These brackets do not need to use elastic parts to engage the arch to the brackets. The orthodontist can use sliding caps to open and close the slots of these brackets.

PROCEDURE

Self-Ligating Brackets with flapless corticotomy

These brackets do not need to use elastic parts to engage the arch to the brackets. The orthodontist can use sliding caps to open and close the slots of these brackets. Flapless corticotomy will be performed in order to stimulate acceleration in tooth movement during the orthodontic treatment in this group only.
