What is being measured

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

  1. rate of molar distalization

    rate of distalization of the maxillary first molars will be evaluated using direct clinical assessment and cast analysis according to standardized methods.

    Measured: from start of treatment until study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Distalization in people with Class II Division 1 Malocclusion, run by Al-Azhar University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 1 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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

Contact Ahmed T Hussein, doctoraa (01008748904, AhmedAli.209@azhar.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

rate of molar distalization (time frame: from start of treatment until study completion, an average of 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 19 Jul 2022.
