About this study

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if the timing of tooth extractions (before or after initial orthodontic treatment) affects pain levels in patients who need bilateral extractions of first premolars in the upper jaw. The participants in this study are patients who require these extractions as part of their orthodontic treatment.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Read more
  1. Does extracting teeth before starting orthodontic treatment result in different pain levels compared to extracting teeth after alignment?
  2. How do pain levels change over time after the extractions in each group?

Researchers will compare Group A (patients who have extractions before orthodontic treatment) to Group B (patients who have extractions after initial alignment) to see if the timing of the extractions affects pain levels.

Participants will:

Undergo tooth extractions either before or after initial alignment based on their group.

Rate their pain on an 11-point numerical rating scale at various times (2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours after extraction, and then daily for a week).

    In this randomized clinical trial, 44 patients were recruited who needed bilateral extractions of first premolars in upper arches. Patients were divided into two groups based on the timing of extractions. Group A needed extractions before alignment while Group B needed extractions for retraction of anterior teeth. Group A was sent for extractions first while Group B went for orthodontic bonding and banding procedures for orthodontic treatment. After series of aligning wires (0.014, 0.016, 17x25, 19x25 Heat activated NiTi and 19x25 SS) patients from group B were sent for extractions. For pain assessment, an 11-point numerical rating scale (NRS) were given to record pain intensity at 2, 4, 8, 12 and then 24 hours after extraction for the next 7 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of prior engagement of tooth with orthodontic appliance on post extraction pain among orthodontic patients in people with Orthodontic Extraction and Orthodontic Treatment, run by Universiti Sains Malaysia at 1 site in Pakistan.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 3 Sep 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 Pakistan. 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?

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?

A comparative assessment of post extraction pain in orthodontic patients to evaluate the effects of early engagement of tooth with orthodontic wires. (time frame: 2.6 years). 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 3 Sep 2024.
