Crowding Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effect of Corticision on Perceived Pain and Discomfort for Patients With Crowded Lower Anterior Teeth: Randomized Clinical Trial
The duration of orthodontic treatment is one of the exacerbation causes of orthodontic pain.
Several methods have been suggested to reduce the duration of orthodontic treatment
classified to surgical and non-surgical methods.
Researches used minimally invasive surgical methods like corticision, piezocesion,
micro-osteoperforation, and piezo-puncture indicated that most of these methods can
accelerate dental movement by 20 - 40% without causing additional pain as a result of using
those methods. Applying corticision on the lower anterior teeth using a surgical blade and a
hammer may accelerate tooth alignment during orthodontic treatment. This study consists of
two groups, patients will be randomly assigned to one of these two groups.
Pain is defined as an unpleasant emotional sensory experience associated with actual or
potential harm. It was mentioned as one of the most common complaints related to orthodontic
treatment, and around 65-95% of patients undergoing orthodontic treatment suffer from various
degrees of pain.
Corticision is one of the minimally invasive surgical procedures that is not associated with
flap lifting. It was used to accelerate tooth movement in animals and case report studies.
Its application on humans may aggravate their fear and anxiety towards the pain that may
accompany this technique.
No study in the literature has been searched in patient perception of pain, discomfort,
levels of acceptance and satisfaction accompanied corticision application, but in this study,
these previous variables accompanied corticision technique have been studied on crowded lower
anterior teeth cases which are one of the most common types of malocclusion.
