About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Quantity of Distal Movement of the Upper Canine and Molar Using Class II Elastics With and Without Sliding Jig in a Period of 3 Months

THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY IS COMPARE THE QUANTITY OF DISTAL MOVEMENT OF THE UPPER CANINE AND MOLAR USING CLASS II ELASTICS WITH AND WITHOUT SLIDING JIG IN A PERIOD OF 3 MONTHS

Read the detailed description

To achieve a Class I canine relationship at the end of the alignment and leveling phase, different intraoral devices have been used. These include intermaxillary class II elastics, which retract the upper and protract the lower arch, generating extrusive forces at the anchorage sites. Its upper distalizing action is exerted to the canine bracket and transmitted through the posterior teeth where the upper molar does not receive a direct force. The sliding jig is an auxiliary addition that exerts force to the molar by an elastic hanged in a jig between the lateral and the canine in class II; such mechanism decreases the vertical adverse effects of the elastics wearing while directing the distalizing force to the molar.

A randomized, unblinded, clinical trial comparing 30 units of analysis (hemi arches) in which were placed sliding jig or stand alone elastics were perform.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. CT analysis for comparison of distal movement of upper canine and molar using class II elastics

    CT were taken to compare the quantity of distal movement of the upper canine and molar using class II elastics alone.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Class II elastics and Sliding Jig and Class II elastic alone in people with Malocclusion, run by Universidad de Antioquia at 1 site in Colombia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jul 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Colombia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

CT analysis for comparison of distal movement of upper canine and molar using class II elastics (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Jul 2012.
