Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this split mouth trial is to compare mean canine retraction with one Micro-osteo-perforation (MOP) against three MOPs among Class II division I orthodontic patients after one month of intervention.


Clinical Trial Description

One of the main concerns for orthodontists and patients who seek orthodontic therapy is the prolonged treatment time. A commitment of about 18-24 months makes decision making difficult for many patients. The prolonged treatment time is also a potential factor leading to complications like white spot lesions, root resorption, gingivitis and periodontitis. Different techniques to speed up tooth movement have been used in orthodontics. Micro-osteo-perforations is one of the new ways to expedite tooth movement. Previous trials of MOP (Micro-osteo-perforations) to expedite tooth movement had certain shortcomings including the lack of details of randomization. Further studies with variation in the number and frequency of MOPs over a longer duration were recommended. It also raises a curiosity if reducing the number of MOPs would be equally effective in accelerating the canine retraction. Hence, the purpose of this split mouth trial was to investigate the effect of number of MOPs on the rate of canine retraction. The objective of this split mouth trial is to compare mean canine retraction with one MOP against three MOPs among Class II division I orthodontic patients after one month of intervention. STUDY DESIGN: Split-mouth parallel arm randomized control trial. ;
