Study Overview
Brief Summary
Assessment of dental changes associated with an eight-unit extended maxillary fixed retainer in 3D. monitoring PDL response and evaluation of patient's satisfaction ,quality of life and speech with extended maxillary fixed retainer
Detailed Description
single-arm prospective clinical trial will be conducted to assess of dental changes associated with an eight-unit extended maxillary fixed retainer in 3D. monitoring PDL response and evaluation of patient's satisfaction ,quality of life and speech with extended maxillary fixed retainer.
. Twenty-six patients who finished the active orthodontic treatment phase (14-28 years) will be recruited upon complying with the inclusion criteria. Eight-unit extended maxillary fixed retainer will be bonded to palatal surface of maxillary incisors, canines and first premolars, PDL assessment will be carried out and patient acceptance to the appliance through the valid questionnaire then the patients will be followed up for 6 months to document 3D post-treatment changes.

Arms & Interventions
Fixed retainer group
test group who undergoes retention using extended maxillary fixed retainer
Intervention: Extended maxillary fixed retainer (Device)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
lateral cephalometric changes assessment
Time Frame: 6months follow up
evaluation of the changes of axial inclination of upper incisors before bonding fixed retainer and 6 months after bonding the retainer through measuring the axial inclination changes of upper incisors(u1-sn angle( upper 1 relation to cranial base ) , interincisal angle( angle between upper and lower incisors ) ,u1- FH angle( angle between upper incisor and Frankfort horizontal plane ) ,u1 to palatal plane angle (angle between upper incisor to palatal plane ), u1 to occlusal plane(angle between upper incisor and occlusal plane )
Evaluation of dental changes
Time Frame: 6 months follow up
3D Evaluation of the dental changes associated with an eight unit extended maxillary fixed retainer by superimposition of STL files before bonding and 6 months after bonding fixed retainer which is bonded directly after completion of active orthodontic phase, the changes in teeth position will be assessed by linear differences between the first stl and final stl file after superimposing them using medit software , on demand software ,creating linear measurement that calculate how teeth moved in antroposterior plane , transverse and vertical planes
Secondary Outcomes
- PDL response through probing depth assessment(6 months follow up)
- Plaque assessment(6 months follow up)
- Gingival bleeding assessment(6 months follow up)
- Gingival assessment(6 months follow up)
