About this study

Official title: Investigation of the Effects of Photobiomodulation Applications on Orthodontic Tooth Movement

Increasing the speed of orthodontic treatment is an emerging clinical problem and therefore the evaluation of the effects of photobiomodulation applications and methods on orthodontic tooth movement is considered as an important factor.

When literature studies are examined, different studies have been performed on Laser and LED applications, however, the lack of a study that evaluates and compares the effectiveness of these methods in terms of clinical and biochemical parameters.

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of laser and LED applications on tooth movement speed and to investigate the effects of these applications on the gingival fluid IL-8, OPG, RANKL. Total of 24 patients with maxillary first-premolar extraction orthodontic treatment will be included in this study, and this study will consist of 3 groups, Laser, LED and placebo group. The laser will be applied on days 0,3,7,14,21,28,35, take impression of teeth and gingival fluid samples will be collected in these days.

LED group will be given 10 minutes LED for 30 days, taken impression and DOS samples will be collected on specified days. In the placebo group, the non-active pulse laser light will be kept in the teeth and the patients will not know which group in they are. Thus, the psychological dimension of the applications will be eliminated. Sampling will be done for the placebo group on the days determined.

The investigator's project proposal consists of a total of 5 work packages; Determination of patient groups in the 1st stage and obtaining consent forms, 2nd stage Photobiomodulation applications (laser, LED, placebo application), 3rd stage orthodontic measurement and evaluation of these measurements 3D environment, taking gingival fluid samples in the 4th stage and evaluating them biochemically. In the 5th stage, statistical analysis and evaluation of the results will be done.

The data will be evaluated with SPSS 21.0.In this study, it is tried to reduce the time spent in the orthodontic treatment to close the extraction area. In this way, it will contribute to economy and time saving in terms of all orthodontic treatment physicians and physicians. It will illuminate the application of LED device which is more advantageous in terms of cost and space gain in clinical practice of physicians.

What is being measured

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

  1. Orthodontic tooth movement Change

    Measurement of orthodontic tooth movement (mm)

    Measured: 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th, 21th, 28th, 35th day

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Gingival Index Change

    Measurements of gingival index (according to Silness\&Löe) all of teeth from 6 surface. Scale ranged from 0 to 3. All data will calculated for total mouth score.

    Measured: 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th, 21th, 28th, 35th day

  2. Plaque Index Change

    Measurements of gingival index (according to Löe\&Silness) all of teeth from 6 surface. Scale ranged from 0 to 3. All data will calculated for total mouth score.

    Measured: 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th, 21th, 28th, 35th day

  3. RANKL Change

    Analyses of RANKL level in gingival crevicular fluid. The analysis will perform via ELISA. Data will present "pg/30sn"

    Measured: 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th, 21th, 28th, 35th day

  4. OPG Change

    Analyses of OPG in gingival crevicular fluid

    Measured: 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th, 21th, 28th, 35th day

  5. IL-8 Change

    Analyses of IL-8 in gingival crevicular fluid

    Measured: 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th, 21th, 28th, 35th day

  6. Bleeding on Probing Change

    Estimation of bleeding on probing. The reason for the Bleeding of Probing measurement is for the control of oral hygiene motivations in patients' follow-up.

    Measured: 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th, 21th, 28th, 35th day

  7. Periodontal Pocket Depth Change

    Measurement of Periodontal Pocket Depth (mm)

    Measured: 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th, 21th, 28th, 35th day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cheese dental laser and OrthoPulse in people with Orthodontic Tooth Movement, run by University of Gaziantep.

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 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 18 Jul 2019. 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?

Contact Merve Goymen, PhD (+905054767651, mervegoymen@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Orthodontic tooth movement Change (time frame: 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th, 21th, 28th, 35th day). 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 18 Jul 2019.
