Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Disturbances in tooth eruption,

• Registration Number: CTRI/2021/02/031065
• Lead Sponsor: O Sobitha

Brief Summary

This was a randomized controlled trial having a parallel-arm design with an identical allocation ratio of one to one. All the patients were bonded with MBT prescription 0.022x0.028 inch slot (3M

unitek) brackets. The patients in group A and group B receives 0.016-inch Cu NiTi and 0.0175-inch Multi-stranded Stainless steel respectively at the initial appointment which is denoted as T0. The Little’s irregularity index was employed to assess the anterior crowding, Intercanine width, Interpremolar width and Intermolar width. at pre- treatment (T 1 ) and post-treatment (T 2 ) stage after 6 weeks.  Each of the recruited subject in the study were provided with a specifically designed Visual analogue scale (VAS) diary. They were requested to note the intensity of perceived pain (using the terms ‘0’- no pain to ‘100’- the highest pain) on a 10 cm VAS in the first month, at various time periods such as 4hours, 24hours, 3days, 1week,  1 month and 6 weeks.
