Effect of Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound Applied on Temporomandibular Joint Region on Functional Treatment of Class II Malocclusion: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Twin-block and LIPUS (Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound) for Malocclusion, Angle Class II. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This experimental study will evaluate the effect of combined treatment with low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) and functional appliances (twin-block) on the correction of class II malocclusion, compared with the control group treated with functional appliances (twin-block) only. The study sample will consist of 40 patients with class II malocclusion. The sample will be allocated randomly into two groups: control group and experimental group. The functional appliance (twin-block) will be applied for all patients, while the low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) will be applied for the experimental group only. The skeleto-dental changes occurring after functional treatment will be assessed using cephalometric radiographs; pre and post- treatment changes for each group will be evaluated individually, and the two groups will be compared.
