Not Applicable
Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Malocclusion, Angle Class I
Registration Number
NCT06627829
Lead Sponsor
The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to quantitatively investigate the radiographic changes of alveolar bone, and gingival tissue changes of the mandibular anterior teeth in experimental group A receiving SFOT using freeze-dried allograft with a collagen membrane, experimental group B receiving SFOT using particulate xenograft covered by a collagen membrane and control group receiving only orthodontics therapy.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in volume of three dimensional bonefrom baseline to endpoint (Alignment visit, approximately 4 months after the start of orthodontics treatment)
Change in horizontal bone thickness at the 3mm point from Cementoenamel junction (CEJ) (crestal level) on the mandibular incisorsfrom baseline to endpoint (Alignment visit, approximately 4 months after the start of orthodontics treatment)
Change in horizontal bone thickness at the 6mm point from CEJ (middle level) on the mandibular incisorsfrom baseline to endpoint (Alignment visit, approximately 4 months after the start of orthodontics treatment)
Change in horizontal bone thickness at the 9mm point from CEJ (apical level) on the mandibular incisorsfrom baseline to endpoint (Alignment visit, approximately 4 months after the start of orthodontics treatment)
Change in volume of three dimensional soft tissuefrom baseline to endpoint (Alignment visit, approximately 4 months after the start of orthodontics treatment)
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in vertical bone level (VBL)from the CEJBaseline, at alignment (approximately 4 months after the start of orthodontics treatment).
Change in probing depth (PD)Baseline, at alignment (approximately 4 months after the start of orthodontics treatment).

PD is the distance from CEJ to base of gingival pocket

Change in clinical attachment level (CAL)Baseline, at alignment (approximately 4 months after the start of orthodontics treatment).

CAL is the distance between CEJ and base of the pocket

Change in width of keratinized tissue (WKT) at alignmentBaseline, at alignment (approximately 4 months after the start of orthodontics treatment).
