NCT03028038

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if the injection of Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is effective in reducing alveolar bone loss that happens after each rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on the buccal aspect of the posterior teeth. 16 patients with a skeletal maxillary constriction aged between 10-16 years old will get into orthodontic treatment to widen the maxilla using Hyrax appliance. An amount of patient blood will be withdrawn and centrifuged to get PRP. Then the PRP will be injected in one half of each patient mouth in a split-mouth design, beneath the buccal periosteal of the first molars and first premolars, the halves will be chosen randomly. High resolution CBCT images will be taken before and after orthodontic treatment to analyze buccal bone thickness and height changes.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Changes in buccal alveolar bone height loss and thickness reduction amount

    Buccal alveolar bone height loss and thickness reduction amount (The incidence of Dehiscence) as a result of RME (On the intervention compared to non-intervention side) before and after expansion. Assessment will be done using CBCT before treatment (T0) and after 3 months (T2)

    Evaluation before and after RME. (after 3 months)

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Changes in the appliance supporting teeth inclination

    Evaluation before and after RME. (after 3 months)

  • Pain levels

    3 months

  • Patient acceptance

    3 months

Study Arms (2)

Platelet Rich Plasma

EXPERIMENTAL

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) will be injected beneath the buccal periosteal of the first molar and premolar in one mouth side with a split-mouth design before the beginning of Rapid Maxillary Expansion and after 7 days of it.

Drug: Platelet Rich Plasma

No Platelet Rich Plasma

EXPERIMENTAL

No Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) will be injected in the other mouth side with a split-mouth design during Rapid Maxillary Expansion.

Drug: No Platelet Rich Plasma

Interventions

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) will be injected beneath the buccal periosteal of the first molar and premolar in one mouth side with a split-mouth design before the beginning of Rapid Maxillary Expansion and after 7 days of it. High resolution cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) will be taken before treatment and after 3 months when the Hyrax is removed.

Also known as: PRP
Platelet Rich Plasma

No Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) will be injected in the other mouth side with a split-mouth design during Rapid Maxillary Expansion. High resolution cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) will be taken before treatment and after 3 months when the Hyrax is removed.
