Effect of Maxillary Third Molar Extraction vs. Non-extraction on Distalization of First Molars in a Group of Adolescent Patients

NCT05647720 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 22

Last updated 2022-12-12

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

There is a scarcity in literature regarding the influence of maxillary third molar on distalization . This study aimed to compare the influence of unerupted maxillary third molars and their extraction on the bilateral distalization of upper first molars using the infra-zygomatic gear distalizer

Conditions

  • Class II Malocclusion

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Distalization combined with upper third molars extraction

After surgical extraction of unerupted upper third molars, the maxillary first molars were distalized using a labial bow with two soldered crimpable hooks distal to the upper lateral incisors. The labial bow fitted in the flying tube of the upper first molar bands. It was anchored bilaterally to the infra-zygomatic mini-implant by closed coil spring that applied a force of 300gm on each side

PROCEDURE

Distalization without upper third molars extraction

The maxillary first molars were distalized , without extracting upper third molars, using a labial bow with two soldered crimpable hooks distal to the upper lateral incisors. The labial bow fitted in the flying tube of the upper first molar bands. It was anchored bilaterally to the infra-zygomatic mini-implant by closed coil spring that applied a force of 300gm on each side
