Trial summary

To compare patients who will undergo orthodontics treatment involving upper premolar extraction for space of time whether with or without corticotomy by Piezotome. Assess the safety of both methods of retraction in regard to the quality of the surrounding periodontium and roots of anterior teeth. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 26 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • On the basis of the diagnosis of the malocclusion, individuals who have Class I and Class II malocclusions and requiring extraction of premolars and retraction of anterior teeth will be selected (maxillary/mandibular or both).
  • Good oral hygiene, healthy gingiva and no evidence of bone loss as seen in radiograph.
  • Healthy systemic conditions.
  • No previous orthodontic treatment.
  • Patient needs to be in permanent dentition (hence, we need to define their age range).

Who cannot join

  • Patient with systemic disease.
  • Patient having any signs of active periodontal disease.
  • Patients on long-term corticosteroid therapy.
  • Persons taking medications that slows down bone metabolism.
  • Craniofacial anomalies.

About this study

  • To compare patients who will undergo orthodontics treatment involving upper premolar extraction for space of time whether with or without corticotomy by Piezotome.
  • Assess the safety of both methods of retraction in regard to the quality of the surrounding periodontium and roots of anterior teeth.
  • Monitor postoperative pain.

What participants receive

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

  • piezotome assisted orthodontic tooth movementProcedure or surgery

    Also called corticotomy assisted tooth movement

    Surgical procedure

    1. After local anesthesia, vertical interproximal incisions will be done under the interdental papilla, on the labial aspect of upper arch using a blade No. 15.
    2. The incisions will be kept minimal.
    3. The incisions go though the periosteum, which permit the blade to reach to the alveolar bone.
    4. A Piezo surgical knife will be used to make the cortical alveolar incision through the gingival incisions to a depth of approximately 3mm.
    5. As we will not use bone graft so we don't need use suturing after cortication.
    6. We give patient antibiotic and analgesic cover.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Orthodontic tooth movement groupNo interventionThis is the control group in which pateints will be treated by conventional orthodontic treatment and extraction of premolars without piezotome
Corticotomy assisted orthodontic groupExperimentalThis is the study group in which patients will be treated by conventional orthodontic treatment aided by corticotomy procedure perfumed by using a piezotome.(piezotome assisted orthodontic tooth movement)
Receives: Procedure: piezotome assisted orthodontic tooth movement

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing piezotome assisted orthodontic tooth movement in people with Accelerate Tooth Movement, run by King Abdulaziz University.

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 5 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 3 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

rate of tooth movement per time (time frame: 4 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03180151, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 Oct 2023.
