Clinical trials: Tooth Movement Techniques
Healthy, Maxillary First Premolar Tooth Extraction
Gingival Crevicular Fluid Characterization During Orthodontic Treatment
During Orthodontic tooth movement, teeth are moved through alveolar bone under applied forces. The applied mechanical loading force must be transferred to the alveolar bone via periodontal ligament (PDL).
- Conditions
- Healthy, Maxillary First Premolar Tooth Extraction, Canine Retraction
- Trial name
- NCT04226469
- Testing
- Tooth movement
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 15 people, healthy volunteers welcome
- Sponsor
- University of Illinois Chicago
Non-Pharmacological Pain Management, Orthodontic Discomfort
TENS Device Use for Discomfort Relief During Orthodontic Tooth Movement
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Transcutaneous Electric Nerve Stimulation (TENS) device works to reduce discomfort during orthodontic treatment, by using orthodontic separators to mimic the discomfort of braces.
- Trial name
- TENS OTM (NCT07687810)
- Testing
- TENS Device
- Where
- United Arab Emirates
- Volunteers
- 44 people, healthy volunteers welcome
