Effectiveness of SARPE With 3 and 2-Segment Technique: A Randomized Clinical Trial

A study testing 2-Segment SARPE and 3-Segment SARPE in people with Maxillary Hypoplasia, run by Federal University of São Paulo at 1 site in Brazil.

Unknown status

Status not confirmed. The sponsor has not verified this record for over two years, so it may be out of date.

Trial summary

A few studies state that 3-segment SARPE has the following advantages: a) higher level of expansion symmetry; b) higher level of stability of the expansion achieved; and c) faster bone healing. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Surgically Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion (SARPE) With 3 and 2-Segment Technique: A Randomized Clinical Trial

A few studies state that 3-segment SARPE has the following advantages: a) higher level of expansion symmetry; b) higher level of stability of the expansion achieved; and c) faster bone healing. The investigators hypothesize that 2-segment SARPE is as effective as 3-segment SARPE concerning treatment and/or quality of life in daily practice.

Read the detailed description

32 healthy, literate adult patients (male and female) with 7-millimeter transverse maxilla deficiency bilaterally distributed will participate in this study.

The participants will be assigned randomizable in equal number to undergo either 3-segment or 2-segment SARPE.

Individuals that a) have undergone maxilla surgery previously; b) have craniofacial anomaly;and c) have dental crowding will not be enrolled.

All participants will be assessed before and after surgery for sensitivity to pressure and temperature in the innervated structures linked to the maxilla, as well as for quality of life using OHIP-49 and B-OQLQ assessment tools.

The expansion of maxilla will be assessed by superimposing tomographic images before and after surgery.

Being tested
2-Segment SARPE, 3-Segment SARPE

What is being measured

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

  1. Quality of Life

    The primary outcome chosen in this study is Quality of Life assessed through the Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionaire (OQLQ) and Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-49) currently available in Portuguese language and validated for scientific studies.

    Measured: An average of 2 weeks after expansion.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Maxillary symmetry

    The maxillary symmetry will be assessed by analyzing before and after 3D imaging obtained from computed tomography data , superimposed using the Geomagic Qualify software.

    Measured: pre-operative and an average of 2 weeks at the end of maxillary expansion.

  2. Stability of dental and osseous structures

    The stability of dental and osseous structures will be analyzed using computer-aided 3D analysis of data obtained through the scanning of dental casts using Bicam 3D scanner (Scaierman - Italy).

    Measured: pre-operative, an average of 2 weeks at the end of the expansion, 4 months, 1 and 2 years after maxillary expansion.

  3. Nasal and paranasal topographic changes

    The nasal and paranasal topographic changes will be captured using laser scanner device.

    Measured: pre-operative,an average of 2 weeks at the end of the expansion, 4 and 12 months after maxillary expansion.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 2-Segment SARPE and 3-Segment SARPE in people with Maxillary Hypoplasia, run by Federal University of São Paulo at 1 site in Brazil.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Mar 2016. 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 Brazil. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Quality of Life (time frame: An average of 2 weeks after expansion.). 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 16 Mar 2016.
