Summary

54 patients who need extraction-based treatment of the maxillary first premolars with subsequent retraction of the maxillary canines will be divided randomly into three groups in this trial. The prolonged duration of the treatment period can cause many side effects such as white spots, caries, periodontal diseases, and pain and discomfort. So many efforts have been made to reduce the treatment time. Many procedures have been introduced to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement, which can category as surgical or non-surgical. Piezocision is a minimally invasive surgical method for accelerating orthodontic tooth movement and shortening treatment time. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is one of the physical acceleration methods that have contributed to decreasing treatment time.

There are three groups:

The first group (control group): the canine retraction in this group will be performed in conventional method.

The second group (Experimental group): the canine retraction in this group will be performed in association with piezocision.

The third group (Experimental group): the canine retraction in this group will be performed in association with low-level laser therapy.

Conditions

  • Class II Malocclusion

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Piezosurgery

Three vertical incisions will be made (3-mm depth and 8-10 mm length) after anesthesia. The cuts will be performed mesial and distal the upper canine as well as at an equal distance from the upper canine and 2nd premolar.

OTHER

Low-level laser therapy

GaALAs diode laser (wavelength: 810 nm and exposure time of 10 seconds\\point) will be applied around the upper canine in 10 sites from buccal and palatal.

DEVICE

Traditional treatment

The canine retraction in this group will be performed in conventional method. Closed nickel-titanium coil springs applying 150 g of force per side will be used for retraction of the upper canine.
