NCT03308851
Lead Sponsor
Université de Montréal
Brief Summary

The primary objective of this research is to compare the rate of canine retraction following the osteoperforation and piezocorticision procedures in cases of first premolar extractions. The secondary objectives are to compare the second order movement of the canine (tipping), the amount of root resorption associated with the procedures, the inflammation process by measuring the inflammatory markers in the gingival crevicular fluid, the loss of posterior anchorage by measures on the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) 3-dimensional radiograph and on the casts and to evaluate the pain level and the impact on quality of life following each procedure using the questionnaire of the visual analogue scale (VAS) of pain.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rate of canine retractionFrom the time of force application until the distal of the canine touches the mesial of the second premolar. We estimate the time frame to be up to 24 weeks. Measures will be taken at two week intervals.

The speed at which the canine is moved in the space of the extracted premolar.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Level of painDaily, for 7 days following extraction of premolars and piezocorticision and osteoperforation procedures

Measure of the level of pain using a visual analogue scale of pain questionnaire ranging from 0-10.

Concentration of IL-1 in the gingival fluid sampleMeasures are taken immediately before the periodontal procedures, then at 1,3,8 weeks and when the distal of the canine touches the mesial surface of the second premolar which can take up to 24 weeks.

Measure of the concentration of IL-I using the Luminex technique.

Amount of tippingThe measure is taken when the distal of the canine touches the mesial of the second premolar. We estimate the time frame to be up to 24 weeks

The angulation of the long axis of the canine at the end of the retraction.

Amount of root resorptionThe measure is taken when the distal of the canine touches the mesial of the second premolar. We estimate the time frame to be up to 24 weeks

The total reduction in volume of the root of the canine caused by the canine retraction measured on the cone beam computed tomography.

Amount of posterior loss of anchorageThe measure is taken when the distal of the canine touches the mesial of the second premolar. We estimate the time frame to be up to 24 weeks

Measure of the amount of anterior movement of the posterior teeth during the retraction of the canine.

Concentration of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) in the gingival fluid sampleMeasures are taken immediately before the periodontal procedures, then at 1,3,8 weeks and when the distal of the canine touches the mesial surface of the second premolar which can take up to 24 weeks.

Measure of the concentration of RANKL using the Luminex technique.

Concentration of osteoprotegerin (OPG) in the gingival fluid sampleMeasures are taken immediately before the periodontal procedures, then at 1,3,8 weeks and when the distal of the canine touches the mesial surface of the second premolar which can take up to 24 weeks.

Measure of the concentration of OPG using the Luminex technique.
