NCT02475785

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if the Forsus Fatigue resistant Device appliance with direct skeletal mini plates anchorage is capable of achievement of skeletal mandibular effects while preventing the excessive proclination of the lower incisors at the end of the treatment when compared to the conventional Forsus Fatigue resistant Device appliance applied to the upper and lower dental arches in female patients with skeletal Class II malocclusion

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • correction of the skeletal Class II profile

    This outcome will be detected through measurement of the mean change in the effective mandibular length and position from baseline data that when increased will result in a decrease in profile convexity. This measurement will be done after FFRD removal and correction of the sagittal relationship. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images will be used for analysis of this outcome where changes in effective mandibular length (Co-Gn) will be measured in mm

    expected average of 10 months

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Dento-alveolar side effects

    expected average of 10 months

  • Angle of soft tissue convexity

    expected average of 10 months

  • Position of lips and Chin

    expected average of 10 months

Study Arms (3)

FFRD and mini plates group

EXPERIMENTAL

Upper will be bonded, levelled and aligned until reaching 0.019 x 0.025 ss archwires. 2 Y shaped mini plates will be inserted in the mandibular symphysis Insertion of the FFRD with Direct application over the mandibular mini plates

Device: FFRD and mini plates group

conventional FFRD

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Upper and lower arches will be bonded, levelled and aligned until reaching 0.019 x 0.025 ss archwires. Insertion of FFRD with application over the lower archwire

Device: Conventional FFRD

untreated control group

NO INTERVENTION

Patients will be observed for an average duration of 6-8 months

Interventions

FFRD direct loading over mini plates inserted in the mandibular symphysis

Also known as: Mini plates anchored FFRD
FFRD and mini plates group

FFRD inserted between maxillary and mandibular arches with the pushrods placed distal to mandibular canines

Also known as: Dental anchored FFRD
conventional FFRD

Eligibility Criteria

Age10 Years - 13 Years
Sexfemale
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsChild (0-17)

You may qualify if:

  • Skeletal Angle Class II division 1 malocclusion with a deficient mandible. (SNB ≤ 76°)
  • Horizontal or neutral growth pattern. (MMP ≤ 30°)
  • Increased overjet (min 5 mm) with Class II canine relationship. (minimum of half unit)
  • Mandibular arch crowding less than 3 mm.
  • At the time of insertion of the FFRD, the patients had to be in the "Middle Phalanx of the Middle finger" stage G or H (MP3 G or MP3 H stage) according to Rajagopal.

You may not qualify if:

  • Systemic Disease.
  • Any signs or symptoms or previous history of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) as clicking, crepitus, pain, limitation or deviation.
  • Extracted or missing upper permanent tooth/teeth (except for third molars).
  • Facial Asymmetry.
  • Para-functional habits.
  • Severe proclination or crowding that requires extractions in the lower arch.
