About this study

Official title: Does Double (Fixed and Removable Orthodontic Retention) With Regular Monitoring Prevent Undesired Tooth Movement?

The goal of observational study is to learn about the stability of orthodontic treatment results in orthodontic patients during retention phase of treatment.

Read the detailed description

The aim of the present study was to three-dimensionally analyze tooth movement in retention phase of treatment and wherever double effectively retention prevents it.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Intraoral scanDiagnostic test

    On the day of debonding, directly following retainer bonding, intraoral scans were performed (T0), using 3Shape Trios 4 (3Shape, Copenhagen, Denmark). The scans were repeated after a month. The patients were invited for repeating the scans after 1 (T1), 3 (T2) and 6 months (T3).

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Study groupFrom all the patients meeting the inclusion criteria every third patients was randomly chosen and invited to participate in the study. Written informed consent was obtained from every participant. Thus 100 patients have agreed to participate. All fixed retainers (stainless steel braided rectangular wire) were bonded in both arches by the same experienced clinician, who subsequently made impression for thermally formed splints and delivered them on the day of debonding. The effect of each of the procedures was verified by two independent experienced clinicians. On the day of debonding, directly following retainer bonding, intraoral scans were performed (T0). The patients were invited for repeating the scans after 1 (T1), 3 (T2) and 6 months (T3). The displacements were assessed by superimposition of the scans. The patients were recommended to wear removable retainers 22h/day. They were instructed to immediately report a failure and to apply immediately to the office in case of failure.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Intraoral scan

What is being measured

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

  1. Tooth displacement in mm

    Measurement obtained by comparing superimposed scans

    Measured: One month after debonding

  2. Tooth displacement in mm

    Measurement obtained by comparing superimposed scans

    Measured: Three months after debonding

  3. Tooth displacement in mm

    Measurement obtained by comparing superimposed scans

    Measured: Six months after debonding

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Failure rate

    Registration wherever the retention failure occured

    Measured: Six months of observation

  2. Compliance rate

    Registration of patients attending to scheduled visits

    Measured: Six months of observation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Malocclusion, run by Pomeranian Medical University Szczecin at 1 site in Poland.

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 5 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 23 Nov 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 Poland. 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?

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?

Tooth displacement in mm (time frame: One month after debonding). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 23 Nov 2022.
