Summary

This study will compare the techniques of piezocision and alveolar corticotomies in accelerating orthodontic retraction movement of canines. In a second phase, this clinical trial will evaluate the effectiveness of micro-osteoperforations in accelerating the retraction of maxillary incisors.

Detailed description

The first phase will consist of a split-mouth study in patients who require the extraction of the first premolars to correct malocclusion. The canine will be retracted using corticotomy and piezocision surgical techniques, as well as without any intervention, being this the control side. In addition, it will be evaluated the inflammatory biomarkers present in the gingival crevicular sulcus during the dental movement, as well as data related to pain and discomfort. The second phase will evaluate the effects of micro-osteoperforations in the retraction of maxillary incisors. The following parameters will be evaluated in the upper arch: anteroposterior incisors and first molars displacement, space closure, inclination and length of central incisors.

• Orthodontic Tooth Movement

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Piezocision	The first maxillary premolars will be extracted with orthodontic purpose. After 3 months of extraction, the orthodontic alignment and dental leveling will be obtained and a 0.016x0.022 stainless steel wire will be placed, as well as orthodontic mini-implants (Morelli®, Sorocaba, SP, Brazil). The retraction of the canines will begin using closed nickel-titanium spring (120g). The piezocision surgery will be performed only in one side of the mouth. Three vertical piezo-incisions will be performed near the edentulous region and mesially to the canine root, in the vestibular alveolar cortical bone with the Ultrasonic instrument (BS1 insert Piezotome ™, Satelec Group Acteon Merignac, France) in depth of 3 mm. The intraoral digital scans will be performed with 7 and 14 days after the start of retraction, and then 14 in 14 days to a maximum period of 6 months. The patients will be advised to take analgesics (paracetamol or dipyrone) only if necessary.
PROCEDURE	Corticotomy	The first maxillary premolars will be extracted with orthodontic purpose. After 3 months of extraction, the orthodontic alignment and dental leveling will be obtained and a 0.016x0.022 stainless steel wire will be placed, as well as orthodontic mini-implants (Morelli, Sorocaba, SP, Brazil).The retraction of the canines will begin using closed nickel-titanium spring (120g).The corticotomy surgery will be performed at the day of begining of canine retraction only in one side of the mouth.A mucoperiosteal flap will be raised from the extraction region to the mesial of the canine.Perforations will be performed using a number 2 spherical drill bit in low speed handpiece under irrigation, only in the cortical none depth.The intraoral digital scans will be performed with 7 and 14 days after the start of retraction, and then 14 in 14 days to a maximum period of 6 months.The patients will be advised to take analgesics (paracetamol or dipyrone) only if necessary.
DEVICE	Control Side	The first maxillary premolars will be extracted with orthodontic purpose. Fixed orthodontic appliance will be bonded (0.022x0.025 slot with MBT prescription in incisors and Standart in the other teeth) with a power arm welded in the bracks upper canines brackets. After 3 months of extraction, the alignment and dental leveling will be obtained and a 0.016x0.022 stainless steel wire will be placed, as well as orthodontic mini-implants (Morelli®, Sorocaba, SP, Brazil) between the roots of the second premolars and molars. At that time an intra-oral digital scan will be performed. The retraction of the canines will begin using closed nickel-titanium spring (120g of force) from the power arm to the mini-implant. No surgery will be done at this side. The intraoral digital scans will be performed with 7 and 14 days after the start of retraction, and then 14 in 14 days to a maximum period of 6 months.
PROCEDURE	Micro-osteoperforations	All micro-osteoperforations will be performed only once time in the experimental group on the same day of the installation of the upper incisors' retraction mechanics. Perforations will be performed with an individualized surgical guide and a 1.6 mm diameter stainless steel surgical drill perpendicular to the alveolar bone, 3 mm deep on the buccal surface, and 5 mm, on the palate. The depth of the perforations will be controlled and standardized by a cursor developed and patented by the research group. Two micro-osteoperforations will be aligned vertically distally from each upper incisor. Due to the proximity of the roots in the cervical third, only the most apical perforation will be performed between the two central incisors. The first perforation will be performed 6 mm away from the gingival margin, and the second, 5 mm from the first, in the vertical direction.
