Effects of Micro-osteoperforation on the Maxillary First Molar Distalization

the study aimed to evaluate the effect of different types of Micro-osteoperforation on the rate of distal movement of maxillary first molars as a primary out come. Besides, it was aimed to study secondary effect on the first molars by evaluating root resorption, bone density, and level of the pain during performing the procedures.

About this study

in the study, investigators tried to evaluate two methods to accelerate tooth movement by comparing them with control group. the first method was to apply one-time micro-osteoperforation. the second method was to apply the micro-osteoperforation repeatedly till reaching the end of the phase one treatment.

Treatment and study plan

micro-osteoperforation

Procedure

flapless small punctures in the bone at direction of tooth movement to accelerate the movement.

Primary outcomes

  1. rate of maxillary first molar distal movement

    Time frame: through study completion, an average 1 year

Secondary outcomes

  1. decrease in length of maxillary first molars in mm.

    Time frame: through study completion, an average 1 year

    the change in the lengths of roots of maxillary first molars in mm.

  2. bone density

    Time frame: through study completion, an average 1 year

    bone density around the first molar

  3. pain perception questionnaire

    Time frame: through study completion, an average 1 year

    evaluate the pain perception to the intervention
