About this study

This study will aim to evaluate the effect of skeletally anchored extrusion arch on the dentofacial structures in patients with anterior open bite (AOB).

Read the detailed description

This study will be a prospective clinical study. All the patients will be treated with 0.022 inch slot Roth metal brackets. Orthodontic bands will be cemented to the maxillary first molars. Both maxillary and mandibular teeth, will be sectionally leveled and aligned with superelastic Ni-Ti archwires.

A buccal stiff sectional wire from the first molar to the canine will be added for anchorage reinforcement. Extrusion will be done by inverting a 0.017 × 0.025-inch Connecticut intrusion archwire and inserting it in the molar auxiliary tubes upside-down and miniscrew will be tied to the molar bands to act as additional indirect anchorage.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean change in the overbite and overjet "Amount of open bite closure". -Measurements will be done on pretreatment and posttreatment digital study models in millimeters(mm)

    Amount of open bite closure measurement will help to know the effect of skeletally anchored extrusion arch on the treatment of anterior open bite

    • Mean change will be measured on pretreatment and posttreatment digital study models by measuring the vertical linear distance between the mesiodistal midpoint of the incisal edge of the uppermost vertically erupted upper central incisors and a horizontal plane projected on the lower central incisor(overbite) in millimeters(mm).
    • Also mean change will be measured on pretreatment and posttreatment digital study models by measuring the horizontal linear distance between the incisal edge of the most protruded upper central incisor and a frontal plane projected on the lower central incisor (overjet) in millimeters (mm).

    • This outcome will help to know the effect of skeletally anchored extrusion arch on the dentofacial structures in patients with anterior open bite.
    • Measurements will be done on pretreatment and posttreatment lateral cephalometric radiographs:
    • SNA(°)/SNB(°)/ANB(°) will show changes in skeletal antero-posterior relationship between maxilla and mandible.
    • MP(Me-GO)-SN(°)/Palato-mandibular plane(°)/FH-OP(°)/FH-PP(°)/Gonial angle(°) will show skeletal vertical changes.
    • Occlusal plane- SN (°) will show dental vertical changes.
    • L1-MP(°)(IMPA)/U1-PP(°)/Interincisal angle(°) will show dental incisor inclination.
    • Nasolabial angle(°) will show Soft tissues changes.

    Measured: one year

  5. Skeletal, dental and soft tissues changes . Measurements will be done on pretreatment and posttreatment lateral cephalometric radiographs in millimeters (mm)

    • This outcome will help to know the effect of skeletally anchored extrusion arch on the dentofacial structures in patients with anterior open bite.
    • Measurements will be done on pretreatment and posttreatment lateral cephalometric radiographs:
    • Witts(mm) will show changes in skeletal antero-posterior relationship between maxilla and mandible.
    • ALFH(ANS-Me)(mm)/A-ANS(mm)/N-Me(mm)/Co-GO(mm) will show skeletal vertical changes.
    • U6-PP(mm)/U1-pp(mm)/L6-MP(mm)/L1-MP(mm) will show dental vertical changes.
    • U1-Eplane(mm)/L1-Eplane(mm) will show Soft tissues changes.

    Measured: one year

  6. Change in the smile of the patients through measuring mean change in the lenght of the upper lip, amount of incisors and gum exposure. Measurements will be done on pretreatment and posttreatment photographs in millimeters (mm).

    This outcome will help to know the effect of extrusion of the anterior teeth on the smile of the patients.

    Pretreatment and posttreatment extraoral photographs will be taken, including a close-up photograph with a ruler while the patient is smiling.

    Measured: one year

  7. Stability of the treatment after 1, 2 and 3year(s) through measuring mean change in the overbite. Measurements will be done on digital study models in millimeters(mm)

    This outcome will help to know the stability of the technique of using of skeletally anchored extrusion arch in the treatment of anterior open bite patients.

    -stability will be measured on posttreatment after 1, 2 and 3 years posttreatment digital study models by measuring the vertical linear distance between the mesiodistal midpoint of the incisal edge of the uppermost vertically erupted upper central incisors and a horizontal plane projected on the lower central incisor(overbite) in millimeters(mm).

    Measured: Two year, three and four year.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing extrusion of the anterior teeth in people with Anterior Openbite Malocclusion, run by Mansoura University 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 4 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 15 Mar 2023. 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?

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?

Mean change in the overbite and overjet "Amount of open bite closure". -Measurements will be done on pretreatment and posttreatment digital study models in millimeters(mm) (time frame: one year). 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 15 Mar 2023.
