Comparison of Posttreatment Periodontal Status of Palatally Impacted Canines Aligned by Conventional Versus Accelerated Minimally-invasive Corticotomy-assisted Orthodontic Traction Treatment: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Fixed appliances and Corticotomy for Impacted Canine. Completed, enrolled 46 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Impacted canine causes many problems for patients, such as damage to the adjacent teeth roots, effects on gingival tissues, aesthetic problems, difficulty, and prolonged orthodontic treatment duration. Therefore, solutions to accelerate the movement of impacted canines with the help of surgical procedures to reduce treatment time will be investigated, such as intra-operative alveolar perforations and piezocision. We also aimed to evaluate periodontal changes associated with such accelerating procedures compared with the conventional traction method.

Interventions
Metal brackets with a straight-wire prescription will be used. Patients will be treated conventionally.
Patients will be treated in conjunction with a surgical intervention using metal brackets with a straight-wire prescription. Corticotomy (alveolar perforation and piezocision) will induce acceleration in canine traction movement during the orthodontic treatment in only one group.
