Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this research study is to assess the clinical effectiveness of the procedure of a minimally invasive alveolar microperforation procedure to achieve accelerated tooth movement in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. "Accelerated tooth movement" means that using the PROPEL™ device may help complete your treatment with braces on one side of your mouth sooner than would be expected if the device were not to be used.


Clinical Trial Description

Following informed consent and satisfying the screening/enrollment assessments, a panoramic and periapical radiograph of the teeth designated for micro-osteoperforation treatment is to be taken. Prior to the intervention the subjects will swish 5cc of chlorhexidine for one minute, twice. Micro-osteoperforation, PROPEL™, is conducted under local or topical anesthesia AFTER the subject is banded and bonded. The procedure will be randomized to either the left or right side in each subject. Following the procedure, Chlorhexidine rinses are to begin twice a day for a week.

The subjects will be advised to take Tylenol only in case of significant pain. Subjects will be seen four to six weeks after completion of treatment for the first follow-up. Subjects will be followed up with a telephone consult 24 hours after micro-osteoperforation is performed. They will be asked if any pain medication was taken after being dismissed from the research center and if so, they will be asked the name and dose of medication taken.

Study will conclude at the 6 month follow up visit or when space on the treating side is closed. ;
