NCT ID: NCT06414863 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Palatal Expansion Technique

Effects of Invisalign Palatal Expander System

Start date: May 10, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Invisalign Palatal Expander system ingrowing patients. This study compares the treatment outcomes of Invisalign Palatal Expander system to conventional treatments through randomized controlled trial.

The Effectiveness of Early Intervention to Correct the Position of PDC:s

PDC
Start date: February 12, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Approximately 2-3% of children will have problems with one or both of their permanent or 'adult' canine teeth in the upper jaw. These canine teeth sometimes fail to erupt properly, because they are displaced into the roof of the mouth or palate. These are known as palatally displaced canines, PDC, (Brin et al., 1986, Ericson and Kurol, 1987). In addition to failing to erupt, displaced teeth can cause problems, such as damage to the roots or displacement of the neighbouring teeth (Ericson and Kurol, 1988a, Ericson and Kurol, 2000, Falahat et al., 2008). It has been suggested that if the primary ('baby' or 'milk') canine is extracted at an appropriate time in a child with a suspected palatally displaced canine, then the displaced tooth might spontaneously correct its position (Ericson and Kurol, 1988b) and the extraction of the baby canine when a clinician suspects that the adult canine is displaced has become accepted clinical practice (Short, 2009). This appears to be on the basis of one report of a series of 35 children who received the intervention and no control group (Ericson and Kurol, 1988b). Two recent systematic reviews have examined the evidence for the effectiveness of removal of the primary canine with the aim of correcting the eruption path of a palatally displaced canine. A recent systematic review published in The Cochrane Library in 2021 (Benson et al., 2021) noted that the evidence for any intervention to correct the eruption path of a displaced permanent canine is weak and further research is required. Numerous problems with the reported studies were identified by both reviews. Other authors have suggested that using a RME (Rapid Maxillary expansion) or headgrear (EOT) to create sufficient space within the dental arch for the permanent canine tooth will encourage the tooth to erupt (Baccetti et al., 2011). This approach might be less traumatic to a child who may have had no experience of dental treatment, other than routine check-ups. If either or both approaches are shown to be effective then their widespread use would be advantageous to both the child and the healthcare provider, because the need for an operation, under general anaesthetic, to uncover the tooth and extensive brace treatment to straighten the tooth will be avoided.

NCT ID: NCT05543460 Recruiting - Malocclusion Clinical Trials

Miniscrew-assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion With and Without Corticopuncture

Start date: August 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Rapid palatal expansion aims at skeletally correcting the transverse maxillary deficiency by applying forces to separate the mid-palatal suture. In adult patients, the separation of the mid-palatal suture may not be possible due to its increased interdigitation. Miniscrew-assisted rapid maxillary expansion (MARPE) was proposed to transmit the forces directly to the mid-palatal suture through palatal miniscrews in addition to the anchor teeth. However, some non-growing patients may not respond favorably to MARPE. Hence, the use of corticopunctures as an adjunct to MARPE was recently proposed to overcome the increased resistance of the sutures in adult patients. The study aims to assess and compare the skeletal and dental effects of miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion with and without corticopunctures in non-growing patients.

NCT ID: NCT04354116 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Cleft Lip and Palate

MARPE in Patients With Cleft Lip and Palate

Start date: January 10, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The objective of this randomized controlled study will be to evaluate the dental and skeletal effects of maxillary protraction with a facemask, associated with MARPE and Class III elastics in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (CLP) with maxillary retrusion, compared to HYRAX type maxillary expanders. The investigators will examine differences in treatment times, along with skeletal, dental and soft tissue changes.
