NCT04902456

Brief Summary

There is scarcity in literature regarding the effectiveness of friction and frictionless mechanics during ''En-masse retraction''technique on anchorage loss of posterior segment in orthodontic patients with maxillary protrusion. Moreover there is deficiency in studies measuring the patient pain and satisfaction regarding the different techniques of retraction. The aim of the current study is to evaluate the effects of friction versus frictionless mechanics, implemented during "En-masse retraction", on anchorage loss. Additionally, assessment of both techniques regarding their rates, effects on root resorption as well as patient satisfaction.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Anchorage loss

    Digitally scanned dental models taken pre and post completion of retraction will be measured by identifying landmarks and reference lines and planes ( measured in mm )

    from pre to post retraction/intervention ( an average of 6-8 months )

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Retraction Rate

    from pre to post retraction/intervention ( an average of 6-8 months )

  • Molar Rotation

    from pre to post retraction/intervention ( an average of 6-8 months )

  • Pain of Intervention

    from pre to post retraction/intervention ( an average of 6-8 months )

  • Anterior teeth extrusion/intrusion

    from pre to post retraction/intervention ( an average of 6-8 months )

  • Anterior teeth torque

    from pre to post retraction/intervention ( an average of 6-8 months )

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Power Chain and Crimpable hook for En-masse retraction

EXPERIMENTAL

Retraction will start on a 0.017x0.025" Stainless Steel wire using elastomeric chain ( force applied will be 212 g per side ) extending between the crimpable hooks and the miniscrew

Procedure: Power chain and Crimpable hook fro En-masse Retraction

T-loop

EXPERIMENTAL

Closing retraction T-loops will be fabricated using 0.017x0.025" TMA wire. The loop will be positioned halfway the extraction space and the canine.

Procedure: T-loop

Interventions

Eligibility Criteria

Age14 Years - 24 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Orthodontic patients (both genders)
  • Age range (14-24)
  • Patients requiring 1st premolars extraction followed by ''En-masse retraction'' (Bimaxillary Protrusion or Class II division 1 cases).
  • Patients with fully erupted permanent teeth (not necessarily including the 3rd molar).
  • Cases requiring maximum anchorage during anterior segment retraction.
  • Cases with minimal crowding (2-3) mm

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients suffering from any systemic diseases interfering with tooth movement.
  • Patients with extracted or missing permanent teeth. (except for third molars).
  • Patients with badly decayed teeth.
  • Patients with any parafunctional habits (i.e. Bruxism, tongue thrusting, mouth breathing, etc....).
  • Patients with previous orthodontic treatment
