About this study

Official title: A Comparison of the Effectiveness of Activator Versus the EF (Functional Education) Class II Standard in the Treatment of Severe Overjet in Angle Class II Division 1 Malocclusion in Vietnamese Population: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical effectiveness of reducing severe overjet in Angle Class II division 1 malocclusion between Activator and the EF (Functional Education) class II standard in treating.

Methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted on a total of ̉60 patients with an Angle Class II, division 1 malocclusion (ANB angle ≥ 4°, basic normal maxillary status), and an overjet of ≥ 6 mm in the developmental stage (CS1-CS3) who were eligible for the study. Thus, the sample consisted of 60 subjects (29 girls and 31 boys) with a mean age of 9.7 ± 1.31 years. The investigators designed the study to treat patients, randomly assigning them by lottery to receive either an activator or the EF (Functional Education) class II standard. The activator versus the EF (Functional Education) class II standard group consisted of 30 subjects (17 girls, 13 boys) and 30 subjects (12 girls, 18 boys), respectively. The changes in skeletal, dental, and soft tissue were recorded before, at 6 months of treatment. Blinding was not performed. After six months of treatment, the study's endpoint was reached.

What participants receive

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

  • Skeletal, dental, soft tissue index changes in Activator groupOther

    After being interviewed and provided by a doctor with two kinds of appliances (Activator and EF class II standard) for treating class II malocclusion, the patients choose their appliance. The patients were separated into two groups (30 in each). Group 1 was treated with an Activator appliance (Activator group), whereas Group 2 was treated with an EF class II standard appliance (EF line group)

Study groups in NCT06566027
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Skeletal, dental, soft tissue index changes in Activator groupExperimentalActivator The researcher made wax impressions of the study's patients for both the activator and treatment monitoring. The researcher instructed the patients to use the activator device for 12-14 hours daily, with a minimum requirement of 12 hours. Precise ablation of the activator created plastic surfaces that guided the process of tooth eruption.
Receives: Other: Skeletal, dental, soft tissue index changes in Activator group
Skeletal, dental, soft tissue index changes in EF class II standard groupExperimentalEF class II standard The researcher monitored the study children through therapy. The research used four types of EF class II standard appliances (Orthoplus, France). Patients were required to wear the EF class II standard device for at least 12 hours every day, including the entire night and at least 2 hours during the day.
Receives: Other: Skeletal, dental, soft tissue index changes in Activator group

What is being measured

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

  1. To compare the clinical effectiveness of reducing severe overjet in Angle Class II division 1 malocclusion between Activator and the EF (Functional Education) class II standard in treating.

    Every month, the research participants from both groups underwent regular re-examinations, during which they collected cephalometric radiographs for assessment at two specific time points: T0, before treatment, and T1 after 6 months of treatment. A Planmeca ProMax® 2D digital X-ray system (Planmeca, Poland) captured the cephalometric radiographs. The Dental Hospital used the licensed AudaxCeph program to accurately draw lines and perform measurements on the cephalometric images.

    Measured: 6 months
