Official title
Evaluation of Dentoalveolar Changes Following Maxillary Incisor Intrusion Using Utility Arch Assisted With Micro-osteoperforations in Deep Bite Cases: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Overview
Study will be directed to evaluate the dentoalveolar changes following maxillary incisor intrusion using utility arch assisted with micro-osteoperforations in deep bite cases.
Detailed description
Micro-osteoperforations (MOPs) are a new, simple, and minimally invasive technique to accelerate tooth movement. The biologic mechanism behind MOPs is to increase the cytokine expression that leads to increased bone resorption, the catabolic phase of tooth movement, in the direction of tooth movement. Transmucosal holes in cortical bone are made to trigger bone remodeling changes for faster tooth movement and decrease root resotption.
Interventions
- Procedure Micro-osteoperforations
Using utility arch with micro-osteoperforations (MOPs). The biologic mechanism behind MOPs is to increase the cytokine expression that leads to increase bone resorption and the catabolic phase of tooth movement in the direction of tooth movement. Transmucosal holes in cortical bone are made to trigger bone remodeling changes for faster tooth movement at the apices above maxillary incisors to evaluate the amount of movement and amount of root resorption. - Device Utility arch
Patients will receive utility arch for intrusion of maxillary incisors without micro-osteoperforations.
Primary outcome measures
- Amount of root resorption [Time frame: Up to 6 months or correction of deep bite]
- Marginal bone level changes [Time frame: Up to 6 months or correction of deep bite]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Amount of intrusion of maxillary incisors [Time frame: Up to 6 months or correction of deep bite]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
