- Being tested
- Platelet rich fibrin
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Platelet rich fibrinBiological
Only the test side that will be intervened with i-PRF will be obtained from the upper liquid layer and will be placed in dental injectors using a 27 mm gauged needle. During the first application the amount of i-PRF will be standardized as 4 mL and injected through intra-ligamental into the disto-buccal and disto-palatal side of the canine tooth (2 mL for each side) and at the time of second intervention i.e 8th week form the baseline intramucosal injection will be administered equidistant from the maxillary canine and second premolar, 2ml on buccal side and 2ml on palatal side) after anesthetizing the region with local anesthesia (2% Lignocaine).

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
: Distance of canine retraction in millimeters / month in different groups-control, single dose PRF and multiple doses of PRF.
Measured: 5 months
Secondary outcomes (1)
Difference in root length of canine measured before and after canine retraction and compared amongst different groups
Measured: 5 month

- Randomised
- Intervention model
- Parallel groups
- Model description
- All routine history and medical records will be taken before commencing the treatment. The rate of orthodontic tooth movement and the root length of the canine will be measured using the calipers on cast model and the digital periapical X-Ray respectively using millimeter unit. All measurements will be recorded at the baseline (T0) followed by at the end of 8weeks (T1), before giving second dose of PRF, to assess single dose PRF outcomes and at end of 20 weeks (T2) to assess multiple dose PRF outcomes. Periapical x-rays to assess effect of single dose of PRF on root length will be taken at baseline (T0) just before injecting PRF and starting canine retraction and will be compared with the second periapical x-ray taken at the end of 8week (T1), just before injecting second dose of PRF.
