Efficacy of Injectable Vitamin C on Accelerating Canine Movement: A Clinical Study
- Registration Number
- NCT03260829
- Lead Sponsor
- Cairo University
- Brief Summary
efficacy of the injectable vitamin C to reduce the time of canine traction
- Detailed Description
Objective. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role and efficiency of the locally injected vitamin C in the enhancement of the palatally impacted canine movement.
Design. Twelve adult patients with unilateral palatally impacted canines were included in this study. The enrolled patients were randomly allocated into the study groups; control group; orthodontic traction and he test group: orthodontic traction enhanced by intraepidermic vitamin C injection. The study duration was 12 months.
