Effect of Bilateral Distalization of Upper First Molars in a Group of Patients After Extraction of Maxillary Second Molars

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Class II Malocclusion
Interventions
Device: Intra-Oral Distalizing Device
Registration Number
NCT05592977
Lead Sponsor
Future University in Egypt
Brief Summary

There is a scarcity in the current literature regarding such appliance and its effect on distalizing the first maxillary molar in absence of the second molar. Therefore, this study was made to evaluate the effect of bilateral distalization of upper first molars in a group of patients after extraction of maxillary second Molars using infra zygomatic mini implants.

Detailed Description

The appliances available for distalization used to be mainly extraoral distalizing appliances which depended entirely on patient cooperation and compliance. Even after the emergence of intra-oral distalizing appliances they had adverse dentoalveolar effect such as anchorage loss and flaring of the upper anterior teeth. Thus, this study was made in order to evaluate the efficiency of our proposed appliance in the treatment of Class II patients while avoiding the adverse effects mentioned above.

GroupInterventionDescription
Intra-oral Distalizing ApplianceIntra-Oral Distalizing DeviceTwo infra zygomatic mini-implants will be placed Bands will be cemented to upper first molars. The inner bow (1.2mm) is a modified version of the inner part of a conventional face bow. Two hooks were soldered onto the inner bow distal to the lateral incisor teeth regions, and U loop at 1st premolar region, and bends acting as mesial stop will be bent in front of the maxillary first molars. Orthodontic force 300 mg per side Will be delivered by Niti closed coil spring which is attached from infra zygomatic mini screw to the hook soldered to the wire framework.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
linear distalization of maxillary 1st molar.Up until Class I Molar Relation (a maximum of 8 months regardless)

Efficiency of the proposed appliance to induce distalization of the upper 1st molar measured on Scanned dental casts as well as cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in millimetres.

Rate of maxillary 1st molar Distalization in mm/ month.Up until Class I Molar Relation (a maximum of 8 months regardless)

Efficiency of the proposed appliance to induce distalization of the upper 1st molar measured on Scanned dental casts with a monthly follow up in millimetres.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
