Surgical Approach to Accelerate the Orthodontic tooth movement

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Subjects undergoing Orthodontic treatment for esthetic reasons, but all subjects will be healthy as per our inclusion criteria

Brief Summary

This split-mouth design will compare the rate of orthodontic tooth movement with micro - osteoperforation. The study contains 30 subjects in experimental group . Three micro-osteoperforations will be performed with lance pilot drill, in the extraction site distal to canine just before retraction . The level of alveolar bone density will be measured  at T1 (1 week) and T2 (1 month) time interval . The GCF biomarkers for orthodontic tooth movement will be measured at 0,7,14,21 and 28 days. The treatment duration will be of 4 months / till the completion of canine retraction.

  • Only those patients were included in which atraumatic 1st premolar extraction was done.
  • The performance of MOPs and canine retraction was done at least 4 months after the extraction procedure to remove the bias due to the RAP induced due to extraction.
