External Root Resorption and Periodontal Status During Retraction of the Upper Anterior Teeth

NCT06873490 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 34

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This RCT will include 34 patients requiring en-masse retraction of upper anterior teeth after maxillary first premolars extraction.

Patients accepted into the study will be randomly assigned to one of two groups in a 1:1 allocation ratio: the electrically stimulated en-masse retraction group (ESER) and the conventional en-masse retraction group (CER). In both groups, the upper anterior teeth will be retracted en masse by applying 250 g of force on each side using closed nickel-titanium coil springs. Mini-implants will be used to provide the maximum anchorage.

The outcomes of the study will be the external apical root resorption (EARR) and the periodontal status of the upper anterior teeth during the treatment stages.

Conditions

  • Class II Division 1 Malocclusion

Interventions

DEVICE

Electric stimulation removabel device

The device will be used to stimulate orthodontic tooth movement through a specific design used to deliver the current to the mucosa around the teeth being retracted.

PROCEDURE

Traditional retraction method.

In this intervention, the upper anterior teeth will be retracted together backward using the traditional retraction method. No acceleration devices will be used in conjunction with this procedure.
