About this study

Official title: Effect of Modified Twin Block in Skeletal Class II Growing Females With Mandibular Deficiency: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The aim of this study is to evaluate the treatment effects of conventional twin block appliance versus modified twin block appliance in the treatment of patients in growing stage having skeletal class II division 1 with mandibular deficiency.

Read the detailed description

in this randomized controlled trail there are 2 groups , the first group will receive modified twin block appliance ,in the second group will receive conventional twin block appliance . the follow up period will be 9 months till mandibular growth occur . the assessment will be through a questionnaire on the number of hours the appliance is worn each day , and another questionnaire assessing the difficulty of speech and aesthetics . Also by, photographs, x-rays and study models preoperative and post operative.

Being tested
twin block appliance, modified twin block appliance
Medical subject headings
Malocclusion, Angle Class II

What participants receive

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

  • twin block applianceDevice

    Also called mandibular functional appliance

    a functional appliance that enhances mandibular growth in growing patients made from vaccum sheets (esthetic)

  • modified twin block applianceDevice

    a convetional twin block functional appliance that enhances mandibular growth in growing patients

What is being measured

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

  1. enhancing mandibular skeletal growth

    it will be assessed by measuring the incremental growth by quick ceph (mm)

    Measured: 9 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. dentoalveolar changes

    quick ceph (mm)

    Measured: 9 months

  2. Improvement of soft tissue profile

    quick ceph (mm)

    Measured: 9 months

  3. Patient's compliance

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing twin block appliance and modified twin block appliance in people with Class II Division 1 Malocclusion, run by Cairo 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 7 inclusion and 6 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 3 Dec 2018. 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?

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?

enhancing mandibular skeletal growth (time frame: 9 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 3 Dec 2018.
