About this study

Official title: Effects of a Finishing Protocol Implementation on the American Board of Orthodontics - Objective Grading System Score in Patients of Orthodontic Postgraduate Program: A Quasiexperimental Clinical Trial

This study evaluates the effects of a finishing protocol in orthodontic outcomes using ABO-OGS scores. Patients who finish orthodontic treatment and fulfill the inclusion and exclusion criteria receive a treatment using a finishing protocol and their scores are compare with 40 patients who don't receive a finishing protocol

Read the detailed description

The phase of finishing is the most demanding and detailed of all phases of the orthodontic treatment. American Board of Orthodontics- Objective Grading system is a detailed and objective method that evaluates the quality of the final outcome of orthodontic treatment. In order to evaluate and compare the effects of a protocol implementation on the ABO-OGS scores, standardize cast models and Pan X-Ray from by convenience patients of Orthodontic Postgraduate Program of University of Antioquia who finish orthodontic treatment and receive the protocol are digitized, eight variables are evaluate and ABO-OGS score is calculate. A comparison with 40 no-protocol ABO-OGS scores by convenience-selected patients is done. The protocol includes an educate residents program about finishing problems , an standardized clinical and X-ray assessment , brackets reposition and frequent clinical evaluation. The percentage of the protocol implementation is calculate in every patient and reliability test is make . The descriptive analysis and the ABO-OGS score comparison is done by Pearson or Spearman correlation.

What is being measured

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

  1. ABO-OGS Total Score

    Sum of 8 variables scores ( alignment, marginal ridge height, buccolingual inclination, overjet, interproximal contact, occlusal contacts, occlusal relationships, and root angulation ) 1: difference less than 1 mm, 2: difference between 1 and 2 mm, 3: difference bigger than 2 mm . Total score less than 20: Excellent , Total score between 20-30: Acceptable and Total Score: > 30 No acceptable

    Measured: Until 7 days after orthodontic appliances are removed

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Line Smile

    Gingival exposure in smiling photo: High: More than 2 mm of gingival exposure, Media: between 2 and O mm of gingival exposure , Low: Less than clinical crown

    Measured: Until 7 days after orthodontic appliances are removed

  2. Arch Smile

    Relationship between incisor borders and upper lower lip border in an smiling photo

    Measured: Until 7 days after orthodontic appliances are re

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?

ABO-OGS Total Score (time frame: Until 7 days after orthodontic appliances are removed). 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.
