Clinical Trial Summary

- To compare patients who will undergo orthodontics treatment involving upper premolar extraction for space of time whether with or without corticotomy by Piezotome. - Assess the safety of both methods of retraction in regard to the quality of the surrounding periodontium and roots of anterior teeth. - Monitor postoperative pain.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• On the basis of the diagnosis of the malocclusion, individuals who have Class I and Class II malocclusions and requiring extraction of premolars and retraction of anterior teeth will be selected (maxillary/mandibular or both).
• Good oral hygiene, healthy gingiva and no evidence of bone loss as seen in radiograph.
• Healthy systemic conditions.
• No previous orthodontic treatment.
• Patient needs to be in permanent dentition (hence, we need to define their age range).

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patient with systemic disease.
• Patient having any signs of active periodontal disease.
• Patients on long-term corticosteroid therapy.
• Persons taking medications that slows down bone metabolism.
• Craniofacial anomalies.

Intervention

Procedure:
• piezotome assisted orthodontic tooth movement
Surgical procedure After local anesthesia, vertical interproximal incisions will be done under the interdental papilla, on the labial aspect of upper arch using a blade No. 15. The incisions will be kept minimal. The incisions go though the periosteum, which permit the blade to reach to the alveolar bone. A Piezo surgical knife will be used to make the cortical alveolar incision through the gingival incisions to a depth of approximately 3mm. As we will not use bone graft so we don't need use suturing after cortication. We give patient antibiotic and analgesic cover.
