About this study

Official title: A Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing MARPE Effect With/Without MOP in Management of Skeletal Transverse Deficiency in Non-growing Patients

This study compares the effect of MARPE (mini-implant assisted rapid palatal expansion) versus MARPE+ MOP (Micro-osteo-perforation) on nasal airway and maxillary transverse deficiency in non-growing patients.

Read the detailed description

All participants with skeletal transverse deficiency with unilateral or bilateral cross-bite aging 20-25 years were treated by expansion of maxillary arch as a first phase of treatment with one expander screw which was anchored to mini-implants placed in the palatal region (Mini-implant assissted rapid palatal expansion; MARPE). The patient's bone support in the anterior area of the palate was examined on CBCT. Micro-osteoperforation (MOP) was done along of medial palatine raphe in the intervention group. Control-group is the same of the intervention group but without micro-osteo-perforations.

Being tested
MARPE with MOP, MARPE without MOP

What participants receive

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

  • MARPE with MOPProcedure or surgery

    mini-screw assisted rapid palatal expansion with micro-osteoperforation

  • MARPE without MOPProcedure or surgery

    mini-screw assisted rapid palatal expansion without micro-osteoperforation

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of days till diastema appearance

    (days)

    Measured: about 1 month

  2. Amount of skeletal expansion

    (mm)

    Measured: about 1 month

  3. Pain experience during activation of expander by visual analogue scale ( VAS)

    VAS: 0 ( no pain), 10 (unbearable pain)

    Measured: about 1 months

  4. Skeletal, Dental & Nasal readings

    from CBCT and scanned models measured in degrees \& mm

    Measured: measured before treatment and after 6 month of treatment

  5. Stability of correction of transverse deficiency

    by measuring the same CBCT transverse reading and by superimposition of the scaneed models at the end of the research

    Measured: about 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MARPE with MOP and MARPE without MOP in people with Maxillary Transverse Deficiency, 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 7 inclusion and 8 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 Jul 2024. 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?

Number of days till diastema appearance (time frame: about 1 month). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT06502041, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Jul 2024.
