简要总结
Various malocclusions require the extraction of the first premolars and retraction of the canines with the need for maximum anchorage. If the canines are pulled into the extraction space using the molar teeth for support, unwanted tooth movement occurs. This study aims to evaluate the effect of temporary anchorage devices and power arms, which are auxiliary orthodontic appliances in reducing undesirable tooth movements.
详细描述
In orthodontic patients who require overjet correction, increased facial convexity, or relief of severe crowding, dental extraction followed by canine retraction is indicated. In conventional orthodontic treatment, the molars are used for anchorage and reinforced with intra-oral or extra-oral appliances. Although effective, this produces unwanted side effects where the molars move mesially and rotate, taking up some of the extraction space. As the canines move into the extraction space they tip backward requiring further uprighting. Power arms are vertical metal extensions placed in the canine brackets. They direct the force to the center of resistance of the tooth to allow bodily movement and prevent canine tipping. Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) are minimally invasive, small screws, inserted in the jaw bones to act as anchorage units instead of the molars.
This study aims to evaluate the effect of the TADs and power arms on the efficiency of canine retraction including the rate of canine retraction and canine tipping as well as mesial molar drift and rotation.
The null hypothesis is that the use of the power arm and the TADs have no effect on the canine retraction rate.
This study is a single-arm, single-center study. Twenty quadrants in 10 adult patients will be selected from the Orthodontic Outpatient Clinic at the Future University in Egypt.
Orthodontic records will be collected including study models, intra- and extra-oral photographs and cone beam computed tomograms.
