About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Mini and Macro-esthetics Following En- Masse Retraction Versus Two Step Retraction in Maxillary Protrusion Cases: A Randomized Clinical Trial

There's a scarcity in literature concerning mini-esthetics specially maxillary gingival display changes following en-masse retraction and two-step retraction. The purpose of this study is to determine, In orthodontic patients with maxillary protrusion, which technique of retraction will result in better esthetics upon smiling following en-masse retraction or two step retraction mechanics.

Read the detailed description

This study will be conducted in order to evaluate which technique of retraction will provide better outcome regarding mini and macro esthetics. In terms of mini esthetics, posed smiles will be analyzed to evaluate maxillary gingival display, as well as the analysis of smile arc, buccal corridor, inter-labial gap. In terms of macro esthetics, frontal and profile poses will be assessed to evaluate the nasolabial angle, mentolabial angle and upper and lower lip protrusion/ E- plane.

Being tested
En-masse retraction, Two step Retraction

What participants receive

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

  • En-masse retractionProcedure or surgery

    Power chain and Crimpable hook for En-Masse Retraction Retraction will start on a 0.017"x0.025" Stainless steel wire using elastomeric chain (force applied will be 200 g per side) extending between the crimpable hooks and the miniscrew

  • Two step RetractionProcedure or surgery

    Retraction of canine started on a 0.017"x0.025" Stainless steel wire using elastomeric chain (force applied will be 150 g per side)followed by anterior teeth retraction on 0.017"x0.025" Stainless steel wire using elastomeric chain (force applied will be 160 g per side) extending between the crimpable hooks and the mini-screw.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
En-Masse RetractionExperimentalSix anterior teeth (en-Masse) retracted using a crimpable hook distal to the upper lateral incisor and a power chain
Receives: Procedure: En-masse retraction
two step retractionExperimentalSix anterior teeth are retracted by two step technique by canine retraction followed by four anterior teeth retraction using a crimpable hook distal to the upper lateral incisor and a power chain
Receives: Procedure: Two step Retraction

What is being measured

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

  1. Mini-esthetics including

    Evaluation of (maxillary gingival display, Smile arc, buccal corridor) from social smile photograph Evaluation of (inter-labial gap) from At Rest photograph All primary outcome characteristics will be measured before and after retraction (measured Linear/ horizontal/ vertical in millimeters) by Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 software.

    Measured: From pre to post retraction (an average of 6 - 8 months)]

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Macro-esthetics evaluation of profile photograph including

    1. Nasolabial angle. 2. Mentolabial angle. 3. Incisors Inclination (Angular measurement in degrees). 4. Upper lip protrusion/ E- plane. 5. Lower lip protrusion/ E- plane. (Linear measurement in millimeters.) Cephalometric radiographs and Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 software

    Measured: upto 6 months from the start of orthodontic treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing En-masse retraction and Two step Retraction in people with Bimaxillary Protrusion, run by Future University in Egypt at 1 site in Egypt.

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 6 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 9 Dec 2021. 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 Egypt. 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.

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?

Mini-esthetics including (time frame: From pre to post retraction (an average of 6 - 8 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 9 Dec 2021.
