Summary

The time required for orthodontic traction of impacted canines after surgical exposure is a particularly troubling clinical problem because it prolongs the orthodontic treatment duration. During traction process, several complications could result in alveolar bone loss, root resorption of the adjacent teeth, ankylosis, discoloration, loss or vitality and gingival recession. Accordingly, and due to the lack of studies concerned with accelerating the traction movement of the impacted canines, we conducted this study to evaluate the effectiveness of some surgical interventions (corticotomy and Piezocision) in increasing the rate of orthodontic traction movement. We also aimed to evaluate dentoalveolar changes associated with the use of such accelerating procedures compared with the conventional traction method.

Conditions

  • Impacted Tooth With Abnormal Positioning

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Corticotomy

A corticotomy procedure will be applied with some osteoperforations during the surgical exposure of the impacted canine. Then this will be followed after 8 weeks with another surgical stimulation using piezosurgery.

PROCEDURE

Traditional traction of the impacted canine without corticotomy

In this group of patients, the traction of the impacted canine will be performed traditionally without the involvement of additional surgical intervention.
