Evaluation of the Rate and Type of Orthodontic Tooth Movement When Injecting Platelet-rich Plasma During Mini-implant-based Segmented En-masse Retraction of Upper Anterior Teeth: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating PRP injection and En-masse retraction of upper anterior teeth for Class II Division 1 Malocclusion. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study aims to assess the effect of PRP on the rate and type of OTM during en-masse frictionless retraction of maxillary anterior teeth using a segmental arch technique. Thirty adult patients exhibiting class II division 1 malocclusion requiring upper first premolar extractions followed by en-masse retraction will participate in the study. They will be randomly and equally distributed into the PRP group (G1) and the control group (G2). The injection of PRP will be performed pre-retraction. The rate of orthodontic tooth movement will be assessed clinically by measuring the extraction space with a digital caliper. The cephalometric radiographs will evaluate the type of OTM at the beginning of en-masse retraction (T0) and at the middle of en-masse retraction (T1).
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The PRP will be prepared according to a well-established technique and then injected into the palatal mucosa of the upper anterior teeth before retraction.
The anterior teeth will be moved backward in an en-masse retraction way using a frictionless method. The anterior teeth will be manipulated as one block. Coil springs will be stretched between the power arms (in the anterior area) to the miniscrews placed in the posterior area bilaterally.
