Effect of Low-energy Extracorporeal Shock Waves on Orthodontic Tooth Movement and Miniscrew Stability

Medical University of Vienna·interventional·Posted Sep 28, 2012·Updated Oct 12, 2015

In Brief

A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Extracorporeal shockwave therapy and ESWT placebo for Mesial Movement of Teeth and Miniscrew Stability. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The low-energy extracorporal shockwave is a scientifically approved method to activate respectively increase bone-turnover processes especially in orthopedic medicine. The aim of this clinical study is to apply this effect in orthodontic dentistry and evaluate the orthodontic tooth movement respectively miniscrew stability clinically. This randomized clinical study is carried out in orthodontic patients undergoing space closure therapy at the university clinic of dentistry. During this period the tooth movement rate as well as the miniscrew stability are evaluated consecutively chairside.
