About this study

Official title: Dose Use of Rigid Fixation After Removing the Distraction Device Reduce the Anterior-posterior Relapse or Not?

patients were enrolled by the inclusion criteria and were undergo lefort 1 maxillary osteotomy. after the latency phase the distraction was done in anterior- posterior vector. patients were divided by randomized allocation in 2 groups. in group 1 the distractor was removed after consolation phase, and in group 2 fixation devices were placed immediately after removal of distractors. data regarding relapse were analyzed by lateral cephalogram X-ray taken in 3 different phases of the trial. change of occlusal plane and the "A point" of the cephalometric analysis were determined as reference point of the study.

Read the detailed description

All patients were undergo maxillary Lefort 1 osteotomy with intra oral distractors bilaterally. The latency phase was considered 5 days for all of them. Distraction was done in the anterior- posterior vector with 1 mm/day rate. In group 1 distraction devices were removed after finishing distraction and a 3 months consolation, in group 2 fixation devices (4 L shaped miniplates with 16 screws) were placed immediately after removing distractors.

The amount of horizontal and vertical relapse were determined in the "A point" 2 years after finishing distraction.

By using lateral cephalogram X-ray as a raw data base, taken in 3 occasions: preoperatively, immediately after finishing consolation phase and removing distractor with placing fixation devices or without them and 2 years postoperatively in every subject. Relevant skeletal points were determined and digitized to evaluate 2-dimensional skeletal changes during and after surgery and to subsequently determine the amount of relapse. The same X-ray machine and settings were used for all cephalograms.Patients were stabilized in the lateral Cephalogram unit (Planmeca, ProMax, Helsinki-Finland) using Cephalostat. With the position of the patients with their head oriented at 90 degree angle to the X-Ray beam at a distance of 5ft from the tube. The jaws were in maximum intercuspation, tip of the tongue behind the upper incisor teeth and lips in relaxed position. The receptor (CR, Konica Minolta medical imaging, USA) was placed 15 inches from the head. This is a standard under which all cephalometric radiographs are taken. It ensures that radiographs, taken in different times, are directly comparable.

Radiographic exposures were 60-80 Kvp, 10-15 mA, and 16-32 sec, and repeated for each case in three occasions.

The radiographs were processed in laser readout processor special for mentioned CR system. PACS. A DICOM system used for saving and transferring the images.

All Lateral cephalograms were traced by hand and digitized, superimposed and evaluated by the same examiner. The tracings were rechecked by another examiner.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

    in the intervention group, 4 L shaped titanium mini plates with 16 screws were fixed immediately after distraction phase and removal of distraction ossteogenesis to prevent the relapse after distraction

What is being measured

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

  1. "A point" of lateral cephalometry X-ray

    "A point" is used to determine the horizontal and vertical relapse

    Measured: 2 years after finishing the distraction

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. occlusal plane

    changes in occlusal plane is determine to assess the amount of relapse

    Measured: 2 years after distraction is finished

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing mini plate in people with Cleft Palate and Maxillary Hypoplasia, run by Shiraz University of Medical Sciences at 1 site in Iran.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 30 Jan 2015. 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 Iran. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

"A point" of lateral cephalometry X-ray (time frame: 2 years after finishing the distraction). 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 30 Jan 2015.
