Summary

This study aimed to evaluate the levels of pain, discomfort, and functional impairment associated with traditional corticotomy and flapless corticotomy in the retraction of upper anterior teeth.

40 patients requiring extraction of maxillary first premolars and maximum anchorage to retract the upper anterior teeth will participate in the study. They will be divided randomly into two groups: flapless corticotomy (20 patients) and traditional corticotomy (20 patients).

Conditions

  • Class II Division 1 Malocclusion

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Traditional corticotomy

A flap covering the alveolar process will be elevated. Perforations will be done using surgical burs, and then the flap will be returned, and sutures will be performed.

PROCEDURE

Flapless corticotomy

Some incisions will be made in the mucosa of the alveolar process. Then these incisions will allow the working head of the piezotome to cut the bone in grooves. The whole procedure will not require flap elevation and replacement.
