Summary

Evaluation of Maxillary Segmental Distalization Using Infrazygomatic versus Palatal Digitally Printed Skeletal Anchored Appliances.

Detailed description

Ethical approval All selected patients will be informed about the aims and characteristics of the study, the potential risks and benefits and the option of withdrawing from it whenever they desire. Then all patients will sign the informed consent document. All patients will be informed about the results after finishing. All selected patients' personal data and details will be held and handled confidentially and privately in the orthodontic department, faculty of dentistry, Mansoura university. Trial design Patients will be randomly allocated into two groups as follow: 1. First group: Buccal segmental digitally printed maxillary distalizer (infrazygomatic mini-implant IZC). 2. Second group: palatal segmental digitally printed maxillary distalizer. The buccal segmental distalizer will take the anchorage from infrazygomatic miniscrews. The distalizer will be composed of digitally printed metal shell which is bonded to the palatal surface of the whole posterior segment. Transpalatal arm will connect the two sides to avoid buccal tipping during distalization. The distalization will be done by placing chain elastics from the miniscrews to the hook present in the mesial aspect of the appliance. The palatal segmental distalizer will take anchorage from miniscrews placed in the anterior palate. The appliance will be bonded to the palatal surface of the posterior segment and containing two anterior and two posterior hooks. The distalization will be performed by using chain elastics between the anterior and posterior hooks. Force: 300-350 gram per side which will be measured using force gauge. A follow-up session will be scheduled every 3weeks, and the appliance will be removed in both groups after the patient reach a Class I relationship. For each patient, two lateral cephalograms will be obtained: one preoperatively and another after completion of distalization.
