Brief Summary

Prolonged orthodontic treatment increases the risc of caries, periodontal problems and root resorption. Many different techniques were developed to shorten the treatment time. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of micro-osteoperforations (MOP) performed in the alignment stage. Twenty eight patients with mandibular arch discrepancy will be included in this research. After the patients are informed about the study they will be requested to sign the consent form.. At the beginning of the treatment routine orthodontic records (photographs, dental models and radiographs) will be taken and the gingival pocket measurements will be made. The twenty eight patients will be randomly divided in two groups. In the first group, 3 or 4 micro-osteoperforations will be made in the parts of the gingiva nearby the discrepancy by perforating the keratinized or non-keratinized mucosa and reaching the alveolar bone under local anesthesia. In the further appointments the traditional aligning procedures will be used and controls will be made every 7-9 days. In the other group 20 patients will be treated in the traditional way and controls will be made each month. Every patient will be requested to answer questions related to treatment comfort and other problems like pain within the first week after each activations. The records will be repeated after the leveling phase. Tooth movement rate will be calculated according to the measurements made on dental casts. Measurements related to cephalometrics and gingival thickness will be evaluated. The results of two groups will be compared in terms of tooth movement rate, gingival thickness, pain and patient comfort.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Rate of Mandibular Teeth Alignment

    tooth movement rate (mm/month) was calculated. From the initiation of the treatment to the completion of alignment stage (approximately 6 months). All tooth movement rate measurements were performed in each month.

    From the initiation of the treatment to the completion of alignment stage (approximately 6 months)

Study Arms (2)

micro-osteoperforation

EXPERIMENTAL

Propel device (ABD) Micro-osteoperforations were performed in the keratinized tissue. Micro-osteoperforations were 1.5 mm in diameter and 3-7 mm in depth.
