Clinical Trial Summary

To evaluate the effect of the low power density 940nm diode laser in the total relief of dental crowding during the alignment phase and the perception of pain in patients who initiate orthodontic treatment.


Description:

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of the low power density 940nm diode laser in the total relief of dental crowding during the alignment phase and the perception of pain in patients who initiate orthodontic treatment. Design: Randomized clinical trial. Setting: orthodontic treatment from the Orthodontic postgraduate course at the CIEO University (CIEO), located in the city of Bogotá, Colombia Participants: 50 randomized subjects, 25 per group, seen during the alignment phase with ages between 20 and 40 years, male or female, with all lower permanent teeth or at least 36 to 46, with Little's irregularity index 3mm to 6mm, without prior orthodontic treatment, periodontally stable, non-smokers and who voluntarily agreed to participate in the study by signing the informed consent. Patients with a history of long-term medications that interfere with bone metabolism and / or pain synthesis (bisphosphonates, anti-inflammatory or analgesic drugs and hormonal supplements, with systemic diseases (Diabetes, hyperthyroidism, disease with bone metabolism) were excluded. , pregnant women, infants and patients who, during the alignment phase, require the implementation of metal ligatures, springs to expand spaces and lace back uses in the technique. Intervention: group 1 irradiated with low power laser (940nm) and. Group 2: it was simulated that they were irradiated. The therapeutic laser was applied for a time of 10 seconds on the buccal surfaces of the teeth and 10 seconds on the lingual surfaces of the teeth, both at the gingival level and at the apical level in scanning mode, on the day of cementation of the appliance and subsequently every fifteen days for 3 months. Main outcome measures: total relief of dental crowding measured through the little index in digital models and pain perception through the visual analog scale. Randomization: Four patients were randomized with the randomized blocks technique. Blinding (masking): The patients participating in the clinical trial, the statistician, the students and the study operators who are going to measure Little's irregularity index will be blinded to the interventions, except the principal investigator.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Total relief of dental crowding This was measured as the resolution of anterior crowding in the lower arch calculated by the difference of Little's irregularity index, the distance in millimeters between the contact points from mesial of the canine to mesial of the contralateral canine in the lower arch in the digitized models in each of the established times. Perfect alignment from the mesial aspect of the left canine to the mesial aspect of the right canine would theoretically have a score of 0, with greater crowding represented by greater displacement and thus a higher index score. 3 months
Secondary Pain perception by means of the visual analog scale that represents the intensity of the pain in a line from 0 to 10. At one end there is the phrase "no pain" and at the opposite end "the worst pain imaginable". A value of less than 4 on the VAS means mild or mild-moderate pain, a value between 4 and 6 implies the presence of moderate-severe pain, and a value greater than 6 implies the presence of very intense pain. 3 months
