Clinical Trial Summary

Thirty-eight patients requiring extraction of maxillary first premolars will participate in the study. They will be divided randomly into two groups: an en-masse retraction group and a two-step group. In each group, anterior teeth retraction will be initiated after completion of the leveling and alignment phase via closed nickel-titanium coil springs applying 150 g of force per side, Mini-implants will be used as an anchor unit in the en-masse retraction group, and TPA in the two-step's retraction group. The levels of pain, discomfort, and functional impairments will be self-reported using a validated questionnaire with a 4-points Likert scale.


Description:

Pain associated with orthodontic treatment is one of the undesirable complications, which negatively affects the patient's cooperation. Pain may occur due to the pressure on the periodontal ligaments induced by orthodontic forces. The perception of pain is affected by many factors related to the patient, such as age, gender, and any previous treatment experiences, which are negatively or positively reflected in the patient's cooperation. As for the factors related to the type of orthodontic treatment provided. The levels of pain and discomfort vary with the different anchorage systems used during orthodontic treatment. Several methods have been proposed to assure good anchorages, such as headgear, transpalatal arch (TPA) with or without a Nance button, lingual arches, bonding of second molars, or intermaxillary elastics, and recently mini-implants. The use of mini-implants has recently become more common. The mini-implants have been used to secure absolute anchorage in en-mass retraction, canine retraction, total arch distalization, and anterior teeth intrusion. The most common usage is en-mass retraction of anterior teeth.

Study Design


Intervention

Device:
Mini-implants
En masse retraction of upper anterior teeth will be applied where mini-implants will be used as an anchor unit. Anterior teeth retraction will be initiated after completion of the leveling and alignment phase via closed nickel-titanium coil springs applying 150 g of force per side.
Transpalatal arche (TPA)
Two-step retraction of upper anterior teeth will be applied where transpalatal arches (TPAs) will be used as an anchor unit. Teeth retraction will be initiated after completion of the leveling and alignment phase via closed nickel-titanium coil springs applying 150 g of force per side.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change in the levels of discomfort or pain The degree of pain and discomfort that patients feel will be determined using their answers to the following question (question 01):
Do you have pain at the site of the mini-implants/transpalatal arch? ' The four-point scale will be adopted to measure the degree of pain.
Time 1: after 24 hours; Time 2: on the 3rd day; Time 3: on the 7th day; Time 4: on the 14th day; Time 5: after 1 month
Primary Change in the levels of swelling The degree of swelling that patient feel will be determined using their answers to the following question (question 02):
' Do you have a sense of swelling at the site of the mini-implants/transpalatal arch?' four-point scale will be adopted to measure the degree of swelling.
Time 1: after 24 hours; Time 2: on the 3rd day; Time 3: on the 7th day; Time 4: on the 14th day; Time 5: after 1 month
Primary Change in the levels of chewing difficulties The degree of chewing difficulties that patients feel will be determined using their answers to the following question (question 03):
' Do you have difficulty chewing ' four-point scale will be adopted to measure the degree of chewing difficulties.
Time 1: after 24 hours; Time 2: on the 3rd day; Time 3: on the 7th day; Time 4: on the 14th day; Time 5: after 1 month

' Do you avoid specific types of speech (e.g., on the phone) ' Four-point scale will be adopted to measure the degree of chewing difficulties.
Time 1: after 24 hours; Time 2: on the 3rd day; Time 3: on the 7th day; Time 4: on the 14th day; Time 5: after 1 month
