Summary

* To compare patients who will undergo orthodontics treatment involving upper premolar extraction for space of time whether with or without corticotomy by Piezotome. * Assess the safety of both methods of retraction in regard to the quality of the surrounding periodontium and roots of anterior teeth. * Monitor postoperative pain.

Conditions

• Accelerate Tooth Movement

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	piezotome assisted orthodontic tooth movement	Surgical procedure 1. After local anesthesia, vertical interproximal incisions will be done under the interdental papilla, on the labial aspect of upper arch using a blade No. 15. 2. The incisions will be kept minimal. 3. The incisions go though the periosteum, which permit the blade to reach to the alveolar bone. 4. A Piezo surgical knife will be used to make the cortical alveolar incision through the gingival incisions to a depth of approximately 3mm. 5. As we will not use bone graft so we don't need use suturing after cortication. 6. We give patient antibiotic and analgesic cover.
