NCT03782766

Brief Summary

This study was conducted to compare the rate of second molar protraction, level of Interleukin1-β in gingival crevicular fluid, periodontal health (gingival index, plaque index, and periodontal pocket depth) and perception of pain in patients treated by molar protraction with piezocision vs control (no piezocision).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Rate of second molar protraction

    measured in mm/month from onscreen dental cast

    up to 3 months

  • Changes in the level of of Interleukin1-β

    detected in Gingival crevicular fluid (GCF)

    Immediately before protraction/piezocision, 1 day, 1 week and 4 weeks after protraction/piezocision

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Anchorage loss

    Each month up to 3 months

  • Pain Perception: Visual analogue scale (VAS)

    Every day up to 7 days

Study Arms (3)

piezosurgery

EXPERIMENTAL

group 1 consisted of 18 molars (13 molars from patients with bilateral first molar extraction space and 5 molars from patients with unilateral first molar extraction space) where piezocesion was performed immediately before molar protraction

Procedure: Piezocision

No piezocision

NO INTERVENTION

group 2 consisted of 21 molars (13 from patients with bilateral first molar extraction space and 8 molars from patients with unilateral first molar extraction space) where molar protraction was performed with no piezocesion

Late piezocision

OTHER

group 3 consisted of 21 molars (group 2 subjects where piezocession was carried on after 3 months of molar protraction with no piezocesion.

Procedure: Piezocision

Interventions

PiezocisionPROCEDURE

Piezocesion was performed by making 2 vertical incisions mesial and distal to the extraction space. Piezotome was inserted in the incisions previously made and bone cuts were done with a length up to mucogingival line and depth of 3 mm.

Model Details: Three models:- * Split mouth design where piezocision will be performed on the right of left side of the patient in bilateral first molar extraction space subjects. * comparison between 2 groups of subjects; one group where protraction is done with piezocision and the other group where protraction was done with no piezocision. * third part where the same side of space receives the 2 interventions. Molar protraction started with no piezocision for 3 months followed by piezocision and protraction for another 3 months,
