The effects of corticotomy and piezocision in orthodontic canine retraction: a randomized controlled clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aims of this study were to evaluate the efficacy of alveolar corticotomy (AC) and piezocision (PZ) in accelerating maxillary canine retraction, and their effects on multiple bone remodeling expression in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). A split-mouth, randomized controlled clinical trial was performed at the Department of Orthodontics of Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Eligibility criteria included orthodontic need for first maxillary premolars extractions, followed by canine retraction. Fifty-one adult patients were recruited and randomly assigned to 3 groups (allocation ratio 1:1:1). Random allocation of surgical or control interventions to each side of the maxillary arch was also conducted: G1 - AC × Control, G2 - PZ × Control, and G3 - AC × PZ. Both the definition of the group and the decision of the experimental or control sides were randomized by the software. Intraoral digital scans were performed before, 7 and 14 days after the beginning of canine retraction, and subsequently, at every 14 days until a maximum period of 6 months. GCF samples were collected before, and 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks. The primary outcome consisted in the cumulative distal movement of the canines and was measured by digital model superimposition. The secondary outcome consisted in GCF bone remodeling samples that were quantified in a multiplex immunoassay. The measurements examinator was properly blinded.

Results

Forty-seven patients, 19 males and 28 females, were analyzed (mean age 20.72, SD = 6.66, range 15 to 38). Statistically significant differences in canine distal movement between AC and control in G1 were not observed (p > 0.05). In G2, PZ showed lower cumulative incisal and cervical measurements than control from the 2nd to the 24th week (p < 0.05). In G3, PZ showed a lower cumulative incisal and cervical measurements than AC from the16th to the 24th week (p < 0.05). In all groups, differences on biomarkers expression occurred at specific timepoints (p < 0.05), but a distinct pattern was not observed.

Conclusions

AC and PZ were not effective to accelerate maxillary canine retraction and did not induce a distinct pattern of biomarker expression.

Project description:BACKGROUND:To evaluate the effectiveness of two minimally invasive surgical procedures in the acceleration of canine retraction: piezocision and laser-assisted flapless corticotomy (LAFC). METHODS:Trial design: A single-centre randomized controlled trial with a compound design (two-arm parallel-group design and a split-mouth design for each arm). PARTICIPANTS:36 Class II division I patients (12 males, 24 females; age range: 15 to 27 years) requiring first upper premolars extraction followed by canine retraction. INTERVENTIONS:piezocision group (PG; n = 18) and laser-assisted flapless corticotomy group (LG; n = 18). A split-mouth design was applied for each group where the flapless surgical intervention was randomly allocated to one side and the other side served as a control side. OUTCOMES:the rate of canine retraction (primary outcome), anchorage loss and canine rotation, which were assessed at 1, 2, 3 and 4 months following the onset of canine retraction. Also the duration of canine retraction was recorded. Random sequence: Computer-generated random numbers. Allocation concealment: sequentially numbered, opaque, sealed envelopes. Blinding: Single blinded (outcomes' assessor). RESULTS:Seventeen patients in each group were enrolled in the statistical analysis. The rate of canine retraction was significantly greater in the experimental side than in the control side in both groups by two-fold in the first month and 1.5-fold in the second month (p < 0.001). Also the overall canine retraction duration was significantly reduced in the experimental side as compared with control side in both groups about 25% (p ≤ 0.001). There were no significant differences between the experimental and the control sides regarding loss of anchorage and upper canine rotation in both groups (p > 0.05). There were no significant differences between the two flapless techniques regarding the studied variables during all evaluation times (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Piezocision and laser-assisted flapless corticotomy appeared to be effective treatment methods for accelerating canine retraction without any significant untoward effect on anchorage or canine rotation during rapid retraction.

Project description:Aim One of the major difficulties in orthodontic treatment is the lengthy course of therapy, particularly in situations involving extractions. Hence, various methods for accelerating tooth movement rate had been devised. Flapless corticotomy is one of those methods. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of flapless laser corticotomy (FLC) compared to the conventional retraction (CR) method on the rate of canine retraction. Methods A split-mouth, randomized controlled trial included 56 canines from 14 patients (12 females and two males) with a mean age of 20.4 ± 2.5 years, who were complaining of bimaxillary protrusion requiring extraction of four premolars. All canines were randomly assigned to four groups (maxillary FLC, maxillary control CR, mandibular FLC, and mandibular control CR). Randomization was performed by creating two equal, random computer-generated lists with a 1:1 allocation ratio-one list for the right side and one for the left. The allocation concealment was achieved using opaque sealed envelopes until the time of intervention. FLC was applied on the experimental sides before canine retraction by drilling six holes penetrating 3 mm into the bone on the mesial and distal sides of the canines. Subsequently, all canines were retracted employing closed coil springs to deliver a force of 150 g using indirect anchorage from temporary anchorage devices (TADs). All canines were assessed at T0 (before retraction), T1 (one month after retraction), T2 (two months), and T3 (three months) using three-dimensional (3D) digital models. Additionally, canine rotation, molar anchorage loss assessed using 3D digital models, root resorption assessed using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), probing depth, plaque, gingival indices, and pulp vitality were all evaluated as secondary outcomes. It was possible to blind only the outcome analysis expert (single-blinded). Results The measurements of canine retraction during the follow-up period from T0 to T3 were 2.46 ± 0.80 mm and 2.55 ± 0.79 mm in maxillary FLC and control groups, respectively, and 2.44 ± 0.96 mm and 2.31 ± 0.95 mm in mandibular FLC and control groups, respectively. The results demonstrated a statistically non-significant difference in the distance of canine retraction between the FLC and control groups at all time points. Moreover, no differences were observed between groups in canine rotation, molar anchorage loss, root resorption, probing depth, plaque, gingival indices, and pulp vitality (p > 0.05). Conclusion In the FLC procedure performed in this study, the rate of upper and lower canine retraction could not be accelerated and no significant differences were observed between FLC and control groups in canine rotation, molar anchorage loss, root resorption, periodontal condition, and pulp vitality.

Project description:This clinical trial compared the time to complete the levelling and alignment stage with flapless piezocision procedure in the treatment of severe maxillary malocclusion with premolar extraction cases. Two-arm parallel group randomized controlled trial was performed at the Orthodontics Unit of Universiti Sains Malaysia, Malaysia. Sixteen patients with severe anterior maxillary crowding (Little's irregularity index: 7-9 mm) and required bilateral first premolars extraction was recruited. The participants were randomly assigned to a study group according to a simple randomization method using a sealed envelope mentioned about the group name. Both groups were treated with fixed orthodontic appliance using the 0.022-in. slot of McLaughlin Bennett Trevisi prescription brackets. The piezocision group received flapless piezocision corticotomy about 4-5 mm in length and 3 mm depth on the labial mucogingiva between the roots of six anterior teeth. The number of days since treatment started, Little's irregularity index, gingival recession, pocket depth, pulp vitality, patient perception of the pain and satisfaction level were recorded before the treatment, at about 1 month and 2 months post-treatment, and at the completion of the levelling and alignment stage. The overall time to complete levelling and alignment stage was significantly shorter in the piezocision group than the control group (mean difference = 31.5 days, 95% CI 6.5, 56.5; p = 0.018). Greater reduction in Little's irregularity index and faster alignment rate in the first 2 months were found in the piezocision group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). No changes in the gingival recession, pocket depth, and pulp vitality in both groups were observed. Patients who received piezocision surgery experienced no or mild pain and were satisfied with the treatment. Flapless piezocision corticotomy is an effective adjunct that shortens treatment time during levelling and alignment stage without any adverse effects on the teeth and surrounding tissues. It is also painless, acceptable and satisfactory to the patients.Trial registration: ACTRN12621001350819.

Project description:BackgroundNo randomized controlled trial (RCT) has compared flapless piezocision-assisted corticotomy in the extraction-based orthodontic decrowding of lower anterior teeth with the conventional treatment in terms of pain, discomfort and acceptability. Therefore, the aim of this trial was to compare piezocision-based orthodontic decrowding of lower anterior teeth following premolar-extraction with the conventional orthodontic treatment regarding levels of pain, discomfort, and patients' satisfaction.MethodsA parallel-group RCT was conducted on 34 patients with severely crowded lower anterior teeth. Subjects were randomly allocated to either the experimental (ExpG) or the control group. Piezoelectric corticotomies were performed on the labial surfaces of the alveolar bone in the anterior region in the ExpG. Levels of pain, discomfort, swelling, difficulties of mastication, swallowing and jaws movement limitation were recorded on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at 1, 7, 14 and 28 days. In the ExpG, patients were also asked to rate their level of satisfaction following acceleration. Two-sample t tests were employed to detect significant differences.ResultsNo statistically significant differences were found between the two groups at one day following treatment commencement regarding pain, discomfort, difficulties of mastication, swallowing and limitation in jaws movement (P = 0.082, 0.367, 0.062, 0.446, 0.359; respectively). However, a statistically significant difference was found between the two groups regarding the perception of swelling at the first-day assessment (P = 0.011). No statistically significant differences were detected between the two groups at 7 days regarding the five previously mentioned variables. There was a drop down to zero level at two weeks and four weeks following treatment onset for all variables. The level of satisfaction in the ExpG had a mean value of 86.47 (±22.47) and all patients were positive towards recommending the surgical intervention to a friend.ConclusionsNo significant differences in the levels of pain and discomfort were found between the ExpG and the control group for all variables except for the perception of swelling at one day following intervention. Patient-centered outcomes revealed a high level of acceptance and satisfaction with this technique.Trial registrationThis trial was registered at Clinical Trials.gov (Identifier NCT02975765 ).
