evaluation of pain intensity by Visual Analogue scale.minimum 0 and maximum value 10.
1st 48 hour after intervention (from the time of distractor placement until the end of the 2nd day)
pain intensity
evaluation of pain intensity by Visual Analogue scale.minimum 0 and maximum value 10
during each activation of the distractor,(up to 1 minute during moving the key of distractor)
pain intensity
evaluation of pain intensity by Visual Analogue scale. minimum 0 and maximum value 10
up to 6 hours on the four activations group and up to 12 hours on two activations group.
pulp vitality
vitality by Electric pulp tester.positive reading is better
before and after canine retraction (up to one month)
