Not yet recruiting

Conditions: Disorder of teeth and supporting structures, unspecified, (2) ICD-10 Condition: M958||Other specified acquired deformities of musculoskeletal system,

Registration Number: CTRI/2024/10/075097

Lead Sponsor: Dr Bini KK

Brief Summary: The aim of the study is to comparatively evaluate skeletal, dental and dentoalveolar changes after maxillary skeletal expansion using two different designs of tooth bone-borne expanders in adolescent patients by Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). 24 patients will be recruited based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and randomly allocated to intervention/ comparator groups. After achieving maxillary skeletal expansion, primary and secondary outcomes will be evaluated.
