Comparison Between Two Methods in the Acceleration of the Retraction of Upper Canines

Evaluation of the Efficiency and Efficacy of Flapless Cortico-alveolar Perforations Using Mechanical Drills Versus Traditional Corticotomy in the Retraction of Upper Canines: a Three-arm Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 51 (actual)
• Sponsor: Damascus University · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 27 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

Patients at the Orthodontic Department of University of Damascus Dental School will be examined and subjects who meet the inclusion criteria will be included. Then, initial diagnostic records (diagnostic gypsum models, internal and external oral photographs, as well as radiographic images) will be studied to ensure that the selection criteria are accurately matched. The aim of this study is to compare flapless bone cutting by mechanical drills to evaluate the acceleration of the retraction of upper canines versus traditional bone cutting by piezo-surgery in comparison with a control group without bone cutting after extraction of upper first premolars in class II type I patients.

Conditions

• Malocclusion, Angle Class II, Division 1

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Cortico-alveolar perforations	Mechanical drills will be used on a handpiece
PROCEDURE	Traditional Corticotomy	Piezo-surgery will be employed following flaps' elevation.
