Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM)

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

In orthodontics, conventional fixed appliances, usually consisting of prefabricated components, require step-by-step adjustment in order to move teeth in the planned direction.

May treatment be improved with customized archwires?

Study hypotheses:

- By using CAD/CAM in planning and fabrication of customized archwires, unnecessary tooth movements can be avoided and teeth can be moved on their direct path to the intended position.

- The application of CAD/CAM improves reproducibility, efficiency, and quality of orthodontic treatment.

Clinical Trial Description

In orthodontics, conventional fixed appliances, usually consisting of prefabricated components, require step-by-step adjustment in order to move teeth in the planned direction. At the moment there is no tool, that allows to predict the treatment result. Using conventional orthodontic treatment methods the orthodontist approaches the final result using the trial-and-error-method, bending the wires in each appointment until both, patient and orthodontist are satisfied. Usually there is only a general treatment plan, but not a detailed treatment plan of each tooth movement. This leads to a longer treatment time and causes more costs. Besides the probability of side effects (such as caries root resorption) increases with the duration of the treatment.

In this case the chosen technology is called SureSmile(R)(by OraMetrix). SureSmile allows the collection 3D-data intraorally and from plaster models, it gives a possibility of computer aided treatment planing (Computer Aided Design) and the manufacturing of customized archwires (Computer Aided Manufacturing).

This new technology promises to reduce the time and effort of an orthodontic treatment providing predictability and quality also minimizing negative side effects.

This technology could - using this diagnostic 3D-system - help to understand orthodontic movement and basic principles of the remodeling of the periodontium and to improve orthodontic mechanics. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
