About this study

Official title: The Effectiveness of Vibrational Applications On Orthodontic Treatment: A Randomized-Controlled Clinical Trial

The aim of this study is to determine whether vibrational applications, as an adjunct to orthodontic forces, increases the rate of tooth movement in patients with fixed orthodontic appliances.

Read the detailed description

Nineteen patients who had class 2 division 1 malocclusion or severe crowding and needed first premolar extractions as a treatment modality were included to the study. The patients were divided into two groups, 8 in control and 11 in the study. The subjects assigned to study group were applied suplementary vibrational forces for 20 min/daily. 3-dimensional digital models were generated just before canine distalization and after space closure by 3Shape TRİOS R700 (3Shape Inc., Copenhagen, Denmark) device. The linear measurements between molars and canines were evaluated. The results were assessed with SPSS 23.0 programme (lBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, NY, USA). The amount of tooth movement for all samples were measured twice by the responsible investigator at one week interval. Interclass correlation coefficient-ICC was used to asses intraobserver accuracy and reliability.Mann- Whitney U test was used to assess treatment effect in terms of time to reach canine distalization. Correlation between measurements were described with Spearman Correlation Coefficient. Interclass correlation was 95%, which is in the range of excellent measurement agreement.

What is being measured

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

  1. canine retraction rate

    İnitial measurements were conducted after levelling stage and prior to retraction of the canine tooth. Linear measurements were performed between mesial edges of molar tubes and distal edges of canine brackets. Due to using TADs as direct anchorage it is considered that the molars remained constant during the retraction process. After retraction stage, measurements were performed between the mesial edges of the molar tubes and the distal edges of the canine brackets, and the monthly tooth movement rates were detected according to the difference between initial and second measurements.

    Measured: 6 months

  1. the compliance data on device use

Model description
Subjects were randomly allocated to either the AcceleDent group or the control group. The randomization was achieved by coin-tossing by one investigator. This method is equivalent to tossing a coin for each subject that enters a trial, such as Heads = control group, Tails = AcceleDent group.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Acceledent in people with Control Group and Acceledent Group, run by Akdeniz University.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 11 Jun 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

canine retraction rate (time frame: 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 NCT04206267, 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 11 Jun 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
