No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The impaction of maxillary canines is a challenge for orthodontists. Recently, new methods have been proposed to accelerate canine withdrawal. The associated dental changes between the conventional and accelerated methods of canine traction have not yet been assessed.

Conditions

  • Impaction of Tooth

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Corticotomy

During the surgical exposure phase in the acceleration group, the cortical bone will be perforated around the exposed canine crown (6-8 holes) wherever possible-this procedure aims to accelerate the withdrawal movement of the impacted canine. A 1 mm round bur will be used to create circular holes (1 mm in diameter, 1-2 mm in depth, and spaced about 1.5 mm apart). After two months of the surgical exposure, the second acceleration procedure will be performed. Two or three vertical incisions (8 mm height) will be made using a surgical scalpel at the buccal side of the impaction area. The cortical cuts (2-3 mm in depth, 1 mm in width, and spaced about 2 mm apart) will be performed using a flapless piezosurgery technique along the vertical lines.

PROCEDURE

Conventional traction

The canines will be withdrawn using conventional methods without any surgical acceleration.
