Trial summary

PRP from 5 ml blood was prepared and 60 units were injected into the buccal vestibule of patient before initiating canine retraction using NiTi coil spring. Pre and post cervical, incisal and mid distances were measured using Vernier calliper. Read more about this study

About this study

PRP from 5 ml blood was prepared and 60 units were injected into the buccal vestibule of patient before initiating canine retraction using NiTi coil spring. Pre and post cervical, incisal and mid distances were measured using Vernier calliper.

Read the detailed description

Platelet rich plasma was prepared using patients own blood. The production of PRP began with a 6-mL homologous blood sample that was withdrawn from the donor via venupuncture. One milliliter of the blood sample was set apart to determine the concentration of platelets and leukocytes in whole blood. The remaining 5 mL was mixed with an anticoagulant (3.8%, 1-mL sodium citrate) to prevent clotting. The blood sample was centrifuged at 113 g for 5 minutes to separate the plasma containing the platelets from the red cells. The plasma was drawn off the top and centrifuged for an additional 2 minutes at 3772 g to separate the platelets. Suitable platelet concentrations were achieved by the resuspension of PRP with plasma (high platelet concentration, 5 times the concentration in whole blood).

What participants receive

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

  • platelet rich plasmaBiological

    Platelet rich plasma was prepared using patients own blood. 60 units of PRP was injected on one side of the arch using insulin syringe. Each patient served as his/her own control (the side with PRP injected) and experimental group (the side without PRP injected). Whether the right or left side served as control or experimental was determined by lottery method. Patients were recalled after 4 weeks and the measurements were repeated again between lateral incisors and canines at mid, cervical and incisal of the teeth and their mean was recorded.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing platelet rich plasma in people with Tooth Movement, run by Armed Forces Institute of Dentistry, Pakistan at 1 site in Pakistan.

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 2 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 22 Jan 2020. 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 Pakistan. 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

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?

canine movement in mili meters (time frame: 1 month). 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 22 Jan 2020.
