Trial summary

Prolonged orthodontic treatment increases the risc of caries, periodontal problems and root resorption. Many different techniques were developed to shorten the treatment time. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of micro-osteoperforations (MOP) performed in the alignment stage. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Efficiency Of Micro-osteoperforation During Alignment Stage

Prolonged orthodontic treatment increases the risc of caries, periodontal problems and root resorption. Many different techniques were developed to shorten the treatment time. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of micro-osteoperforations (MOP) performed in the alignment stage.

Twenty eight patients with mandibular arch discrepancy will be included in this research. After the patients are informed about the study they will be requested to sign the consent form.. At the beginning of the treatment routine orthodontic records (photographs, dental models and radiographs) will be taken and the gingival pocket measurements will be made.

The twenty eight patients will be randomly divided in two groups. In the first group, 3 or 4 micro-osteoperforations will be made in the parts of the gingiva nearby the discrepancy by perforating the keratinized or non-keratinized mucosa and reaching the alveolar bone under local anesthesia. In the further appointments the traditional aligning procedures will be used and controls will be made every 7-9 days. In the other group 20 patients will be treated in the traditional way and controls will be made each month. Every patient will be requested to answer questions related to treatment comfort and other problems like pain within the first week after each activations. The records will be repeated after the leveling phase. Tooth movement rate will be calculated according to the measurements made on dental casts. Measurements related to cephalometrics and gingival thickness will be evaluated. The results of two groups will be compared in terms of tooth movement rate, gingival thickness, pain and patient comfort.

Read the detailed description

Twenty eight patients who have crowding in mandibular arch will be included in the study.

At the beginning of the study, routine orthodontic records and gingival measurements will be taken.All the records will be repeated after alignment stage.

Clinical periodontal parameters including plaque index, gingival index, pocket depth and bleeding were measured with Williams periodontal scaler (Hu Friedy®, Chicago, IL, USA).

Gingival thickness will be recorded with a ultrasonic device (Pirop® Ultrasonic Biometer A- Scan, Echo-Son, Krancowa, Poland) Irregularity index will be calculated for each patient using dental casts. After bracket placement; twenty eight patients will be randomly allocated to treatment and control groups (fourteen patients in each group) While micro-osteoperforations will be applied to treatment group, the control group will receive no additional treatment.

Each patient will be asked to fulfill a questionnaire to evaluate patient satisfaction and ease of operation.

The data was analyzed statistically and the level of statistical significance was determined as p ≤ .05.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Rate of Mandibular Teeth Alignment

    tooth movement rate (mm/month) was calculated. From the initiation of the treatment to the completion of alignment stage (approximately 6 months). All tooth movement rate measurements were performed in each month.

    Measured: From the initiation of the treatment to the completion of alignment stage (approximately 6 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing micro-osteoperforation and conventional fixed appliance treatment in people with Crowding of Teeth, run by Izmir Katip Celebi University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Oct 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Jan 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of Mandibular Teeth Alignment (time frame: From the initiation of the treatment to the completion of alignment stage (approximately 6 months)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03652454, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Oct 2022.
