Acceleration of Orthodontic Tooth Movement

Phase 2

Completed

• Conditions: Mild to Moderate Anterior Mandibular Segment Crowdind
• Interventions: Drug: Dihydroxycholecalciferols; Other: dimethyl sulfoxide; Other: serum

• Registration Number: NCT05560919
• Lead Sponsor: Tishreen University

Brief Summary

EVALUATION OF EFFICACY OF LOCALLY INJECTED Vitamin D3 (calcitriol or 1.25 dihidroxicolecalciferol) IN ACCELERATING ORTHODONTIC MOVEMENT Design: A randomized, controlled, crossover, double-blind clinical study including Eighteen adult , aged 15-25 years old.

Detailed Description

The rate of orthodontic tooth movement depends on two general factors: the forces used in order to cause orthodontic tooth movement and respectively the individual (biological) response of the body to these forces.

There are many methods for accelerating orthodontic tooth movement. but, every method has its disadvantages, such as pain and root absorption. Locally injected of vitamin d3 was proposed to accelerates tooth movement with minimal disadvantages, but there aren't enough clinical studies to prove this claim.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Group 1	Dihydroxycholecalciferols	Six participants were bonded with 0.022 × 0.028 inch slot brackets (Ortho Smile) using pre-adjusted edgewise appliance with 0.022 MBT prescriptions. Local periodontal injection of 1,25 DHC at weekly interval (3 times). The gingival fluid volume will measured befor and after 1-1.5 hours after first injection. the same is done visit at the second and third visits. Pain during injection and treatment will be assessed using the FLACC scale and face scale
Group 2	dimethyl sulfoxide	Six participants were bonded with 0.022 × 0.028 inch slot brackets (Ortho Smile) using pre-adjusted edgewise appliance with 0.022 MBT prescriptions. Local periodontal injection of dimethylsulfoxide at weekly interval (3 times). The gingival fluid volume will measured befor and after 1-1.5 hours after first injection. the same is done visit at the second and third visits. Pain during injection and treatment will be assessed using the FLACC scale and face scale.
Group 3	serum	Six participants were bonded with 0.022 × 0.028 inch slot brackets (Ortho Smile) using pre-adjusted edgewise appliance with 0.022 MBT prescriptions. ocal periodontal injection of serum at weekly interval (3 times). The gingival fluid volume will measured once. Pain during treatment will be assessed using the FLACC scale and face scale.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Primary Outcome Measure was the overall time needed to complete leveling and aligning (OLAT) the mandible dental arch	6 months	To calculate outcome measures, a mandible alginate impression was taken to make study casts at three time points: before insertion of the first archwire (T0), after 1 month of treatment commencement (T1), and at the end of the leveling and alignment stage (T2), represented by final archwire insertion.; LII was used to measure the change in tooth alignment on the casts. It involved measuring the horizontal linear distance among adjacent contact points of the six anterior teeth. The sum of these five measurements gave the value of the index. LII was measured using a digital caliper to the nearest 0.01 mm by the corresponding author.; OLAT was calculated by the number of days between T0 and T2.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Second Outcome Measure was leveling and alignment improvement percentage (LAIP) of the Mandible teeth throughout the leveling and alignment stage.	6 months	OLAT was calculated by the number of days between T0 and T2. LAIP was calculated by dividing the amount of change in the LII value at a specific time point (T1, T2 ; calculated by subtracting the LII value at T1, T2 from the LII value at T0) by Lll value at T0. OLAT was calculated by the number of days between T0 and T2.; LAIP was calculated by dividing the amount of change in the LII value at a specific time point (T1, T2 ; calculated by subtracting the LII value at T1, T2 from the LII value at T0) by Lll value at T0.
VAS scale	3 weeks	to measure patient pain or discomfort
