NCT06875037 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 40

Last updated 2025-03-20

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Patients will be screened in the Orthodontics Department of the Faculty of Dentistry, Damascus University, and those who meet the inclusion criteria will be included. Then, the initial diagnostic records (diagnostic plaster casts, intra- and extra-oral photographs, and radiographs) will be studied to ensure the selection criteria are accurately met.

This study aims to compare two groups of patients with Class II malocclusion. Experimental Group: Patients in this group will undergo maxillary canine retraction using the traditional sliding technique with fixed appliances, supplemented by electrical current stimulation.

Control Group: Patients in this group will undergo maxillary canine retraction using the traditional sliding technique with fixed appliances, without any acceleration method.

Conditions

  • Class II Division 1 Malocclusion

Interventions

DEVICE

Electric stimulation removable appliance

The device will be used with the fixed appliance to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement (i.e., canine retraction).

PROCEDURE

Traditional orthodontic fixed appliance without accleration

The traditional method of canine retraction will be employed using fixed appliances. No additional appliances will be used to activate orthodontic tooth movement.
