Trial summary

This study was conducted to compare the rate of second molar protraction, level of Interleukin1-β in gingival crevicular fluid, periodontal health (gingival index, plaque index, and periodontal pocket depth) and perception of pain in patients treated by molar protraction with piezocision vs control (no piezocision).

About this study

Official title: Mandibular Second Molar Protraction Assisted by and Piezocision

This study was conducted to compare the rate of second molar protraction, level of Interleukin1-β in gingival crevicular fluid, periodontal health (gingival index, plaque index, and periodontal pocket depth) and perception of pain in patients treated by molar protraction with piezocision vs control (no piezocision).

Read the detailed description

Twenty-six subjects (39 Molars) who presented with at least one extracted mandibular first molar were selected to participate in the study. The subjects were subdivided into one of 3 groups as follows: group 1 consisted of 18 molars (13 molars from patients with bilateral first molar extraction space and 5 molars from patients with unilateral first molar extraction space) where piezocision was performed immediately before molar protraction; group 2 consisted of 21 molars (13 from patients with bilateral first molar extraction space and 8 molars from patients with unilateral first molar extraction space) where molar protraction was performed with no piezocision; group 3 consisted of 21 molars (group 2 subjects where piezocision was carried on after 3 months of molar protraction with no piezocision. After reaching 0.019X0.025" SS arch wire, NiTi coil spring was used for space closure (protraction force was 150g) attached from the lower second molar hook to the head of the mini-screw. Piezocision was performed by making 2 vertical incisions mesial and distal to the extraction space. Piezotome was inserted in the incisions previously made and bone cuts were done with a length up to mucogingival line and depth of 3 mm.

Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) sample was obtained from the mesiogingival side of the lower second permanent molar with use of Periopaper. GCF sample was repeated 1 day, 1 week and 4 weeks after molar protraction with piezocision or with no piezocision. Pain was assessed using visual analog scale (VAS). Patients were requested to report the level of pain for 7 consecutive days.

What participants receive

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

  • PiezocisionProcedure or surgery

    Piezocesion was performed by making 2 vertical incisions mesial and distal to the extraction space. Piezotome was inserted in the incisions previously made and bone cuts were done with a length up to mucogingival line and depth of 3 mm.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of second molar protraction

    measured in mm/month from onscreen dental cast

    Measured: up to 3 months

  2. Changes in the level of of Interleukin1-β

    detected in Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF)

    Measured: Immediately before protraction/piezocision, 1 day, 1 week and 4 weeks after protraction/piezocision

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Anchorage loss

    Distal movement of second premolar in mm per month

    Measured: Each month up to 3 months

  2. Pain Perception: Visual analogue scale (VAS)

    Assessed using visual analog scale (VAS) where 0 = no pain and 10 = worst pain. The participants filled out questionnaire to assess the pain intensity and interference after second molar protraction with or without piezocision on 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 days of intervention.

    Measured: Every day up to 7 days

Model description
Three models:- * Split mouth design where piezocision will be performed on the right of left side of the patient in bilateral first molar extraction space subjects. * comparison between 2 groups of subjects; one group where protraction is done with piezocision and the other group where protraction was done with no piezocision. * third part where the same side of space receives the 2 interventions. Molar protraction started with no piezocision for 3 months followed by piezocision and protraction for another 3 months,

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Piezocision in people with Acceleration of Tooth Movement and Piezocision, run by Jordan University of Science and Technology.

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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 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?

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 second molar protraction (time frame: up to 3 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 20 Dec 2018.
