About this study

Official title: Assessment of Root Parallelism Following Orthodontic Treatment in Adolescent vs Adult Patients Treated With Maxillary First Premolar Extraction: Observational -Analytical Study

Panoramic radiographs of finished orthodontic cases will be collected after fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Then the collected data will be divided into two groups according to age either adolescent (12-18 years old) or adult group (after 18 years old).

in the panoramic views the long axes of canines and second premolar will be traced digitally using Digital softwares (microDicom vierwer Simeo Antonov Stoykov 0.7.7) \& (IC Measure 2.0.0.161).

The objective of this study is to assess the root parallelism between maxillary canines and second premolars in adolescents versus adults group of patients requiring maxillary first premolar extraction during the orthodontic treatment.

Being tested
first premolar extraction and complete canine retraction.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Frequency of Root Paralellism, 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 3 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 28 Oct 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?

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?

Frequency of Good Root Parallelism (time frame: 8 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 NCT04139174, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 28 Oct 2019.
