About this study

Ten adult patients requiring maxillary first premolars' extraction were enrolled in this split-mouth randomized controlled clinical trial.

Micro-osteoperforations were randomly assigned to one side of the maxillary arch at the canine-premolar region, and the contralateral side served as the control.

Mini-screws were used for anchorage reinforcement, and canine retraction was performed using nickel-titanium closed coil springs, delivering a force of 150 grams per side.

The primary outcome was the measurement of canine retraction rate throughout the study period from digital dental models obtained every 3 weeks.

The secondary outcome was the detection of possible canine tipping during retraction.

Treatment and study plan

Micro-osteoperforations (MOPs)

Other

MOPs included shallow perforations of the buccal cortical plate surrounding the tooth that requires orthodontic tooth movement, with no flap reflection was performed using a surgical bur using the special calibrated device called PROPEL

Conventional canine retraction

Other
