Effect Of Low Level Laser Therapy on the Rate of En- Masse Retraction: RCT

NCT05183451 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 32

Last updated 2022-01-10

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

There is scarcity in the literature regrading the effect of Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) on the rate of en-masse retraction. This study aims to investigate whether LLLT would affect the rate of en-masse retraction in females having bimaxillary dento-alveolar protrusion.

Conditions

  • Bimaxillary Protrusion

Interventions

PROCEDURE

En- masse retraction and LLLT

Retraction will start on a 0.019"x0.025" Stainless steel wire using NiTi closed coils (force applied will be 200 g per side) extending between the crimpable hooks and the TADs. LLLT will be applied on days 0,3,7,14 from extraction then repeated biweekly till the end of retraction.

PROCEDURE

En- masse retraction without LLLT

Retraction will start on a 0.019"x0.025" Stainless steel wire using NiTi closed coils (force applied will be 200 g per side) extending between the crimpable hooks and the TADs.
