Clinical Trial Summary

The long time needed for orthodontic treatment is considered one of the biggest obstacles that make patients refuse to undergo orthodontic treatment. It also has many disadvantages including higher caries rates, gingivitis, and root resorption. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of two new noninvasive methods (Low-Level Laser Therapy and Corticopuncture) in accelerating orthodontic tooth movement for the implant supported En-Masse retraction of the six maxillary anterior teeth.


Clinical Trial Description

This study will be a randomized controlled trial with a 1:1:1 allocation ratio. Sample size was calculated using Minitab version 15. 36 Participants recruited from patients attending the Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at Damascus University with class II division 1 malocclusion that indicates the extraction of first maxillary premolars will be randomly assigned into one of three groups: Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) group, flapless corticopuncture group, or control group. Titanium mini-implants (1.6 mm diameter and 7 mm length) will be inserted between the maxillary second premolar and first molar at approximately 8-10 mm height above the archwires below the mucogingival junction. After complete leveling and alignment of the maxillary dental arch, which will be defined by passive insertion of 19*25 inch S.S. archwire, the retraction stage of the six maxillary anterior teeth will begin. ;
