Analysis of canine retraction and anchorage loss in different facial types with and without piezocision: a split-mouth-design, randomized clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To investigate canine retraction (CR) and anchorage loss (AL) among average facial height (AFH) and high facial height subjects (HFH) with or without piezocision surgery (PS).

Materials and methods

This was a split-mouth, randomized clinical trial. Twenty-three females (aged 19.05 ± 2.95 years) who presented with Class II division I malocclusion requiring bilateral maxillary extraction and who fulfilled eligibility criteria were included and categorized into two groups: AFH (12 participants) and HFH (11 participants). Atraumatic extractions were performed 10 weeks following bonding. Before space closure, impressions were taken to fabricate models, which were scanned to generate digital models. Each participant had PS on the randomly assigned side. Space closure wa
