The long time needed for orthodontic treatment is considered one of the biggest obstacles that make patients refuse to undergo orthodontic treatment. It also has many disadvantages including higher caries rates, gingivitis, and root resorption. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of two new noninvasive methods (Low-Level Laser Therapy and Corticopuncture) in accelerating orthodontic tooth movement for the implant supported En-Masse retraction of the six maxillary anterior teeth.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Duration of en-masse retraction of the six maxillary anterior teeth | Assessment will be performed by calculating the time required from the beginning of the six maxillary anterior teeth retraction till the completion of this procedure | The months required to complete the retraction procedure will be recorded, which is expected to be occur within four months | |
Primary | Rate of en-masse retraction of the six maxillary anterior teeth | Assessment will be performed on study models by dividing the distance that the six maxillary anterior teeth moved during retraction to the time required to retract them to their ideal positions. | The calculation of the rate of retraction will be done once the retraction procedure has finished which is expected to occur within four months | |
Secondary | Maxillary first molar anchorage loss | Assessment will be performed on study casts by calculating the amount of mesial drifting of the maxillary molar (if any) in millimeters before and after retraction | This outcome will be measured one day before upper incisors' retraction initiation (T0) and immediately after the completion of retraction (T1) which is expected to occur in 4 months | |
Secondary | Root resorption | Assessment will be performed by subtracting the root length of each maxillary anterior tooth after retraction from its length before starting retraction procedure. | A CBCT image will be taken one day before the six maxillary incisors retraction initiation (T0) and immediately after the completion of retraction (T1) which is expected to occur in 4 months | |
Secondary | Changes in the gingival indices | Assessment will be performed clinically using the WHO probe | This outcome will be measured one day before the six maxillary incisors retraction initiation (T0) and immediately after the completion of retraction (T1) which is expected to occur in 4 months | |
Secondary | Change in tooth vitality (the response of the pulp tissue toward external stimuli) | Tooth vitality will be evaluated for each tooth of the six maxillary anterior teeth using Ethyl Chloride applied by a cotton roll on each tooth, which will indicate negative response (no vitality) or positive response (vital pulp) | This outcome will be measured one day before the six maxillary anterior teeth retraction initiation (T0) and immediately after the completion of retraction (T1) which is expected to occur in 4 months | |
Secondary | Changes in the levels of pain and discomfort | Assessment will be performed using questionnaires that include Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for each question, the scale has a minimum scale of 0 (no pain or discomfort) and a maximum scale of 100 (maximum pain or discomfort). | These levels will be assessed at: one day, one week, two weeks, and four weeks following the intervention | |
Secondary | Change in the Oral Health Related Quality of Life associated with anterior teeth retraction. | Assessment will be performed using the OHIP-14 questionnaire; which is a questionnaire that include 14 questions regarding different aspects of problems that might be associated with retraction (discomfort, stress, chewing difficulties, ...). the patient could choose the answer from a five-point Likert scale (Never, Hardly ever, Occasionally, Fairly often, Very often) | The OHIP-14 will be assessed immediately after application, after 1, 7, 14, and 28 days of the six maxillary anterior teeth retraction initiation |
