Effect of Bilateral Distalization of Upper First Molars in a Group of Patients After Extraction of Maxillary Second Molars

February 16, 2023 updated by: Hosam Abdullah Mohamed Zaza, Future University in Egypt

Effect of Bilateral Distalization of Upper First Molars in a Group of Patients After Extraction of Maxillary Second Molars Using Infra Zygomatic Mini Implants: A Prospective Clinical Trial

There is a scarcity in the current literature regarding such appliance and its effect on distalizing the first maxillary molar in absence of the second molar. Therefore, this study was made to evaluate the effect of bilateral distalization of upper first molars in a group of patients after extraction of maxillary second Molars using infra zygomatic mini implants.

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The appliances available for distalization used to be mainly extraoral distalizing appliances which depended entirely on patient cooperation and compliance. Even after the emergence of intra-oral distalizing appliances they had adverse dentoalveolar effect such as anchorage loss and flaring of the upper anterior teeth. Thus, this study was made in order to evaluate the efficiency of our proposed appliance in the treatment of Class II patients while avoiding the adverse effects mentioned above.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

16 years and older (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Intra-oral Distalizing Appliance

Two infra zygomatic mini-implants will be placed Bands will be cemented to upper first molars. The inner bow (1.2mm) is a modified version of the inner part of a conventional face bow. Two hooks were soldered onto the inner bow distal to the lateral incisor teeth regions, and U loop at 1st premolar region, and bends acting as mesial stop will be bent in front of the maxillary first molars.

Orthodontic force 300 mg per side Will be delivered by Niti closed coil spring which is attached from infra zygomatic mini screw to the hook soldered to the wire framework.
Device: Intra-Oral Distalizing Device
The inner bow (1.2mm) is a modified version of the inner part of a conventional face bow. Two hooks were soldered onto the inner bow distal to the lateral incisor teeth regions, and U loop at 1st premolar region, and bends acting as mesial stop will be bent in front of the maxillary first molars. The anterior component of the inner bow is 3 mm free from the labial surface of anterior teeth

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
linear distalization of maxillary 1st molar.
Time Frame: Up until Class I Molar Relation (a maximum of 8 months regardless)
Efficiency of the proposed appliance to induce distalization of the upper 1st molar measured on Scanned dental casts as well as cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in millimetres.
Up until Class I Molar Relation (a maximum of 8 months regardless)
Rate of maxillary 1st molar Distalization in mm/ month.
Time Frame: Up until Class I Molar Relation (a maximum of 8 months regardless)
Efficiency of the proposed appliance to induce distalization of the upper 1st molar measured on Scanned dental casts with a monthly follow up in millimetres.
Up until Class I Molar Relation (a maximum of 8 months regardless)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Changes in Intermolar width in mm.
Time Frame: Up until Class I Molar Relation (a maximum of 8 months regardless)
Effect of the proposed appliance on the transverse Dental changes in the upper buccal segment through scanned dental cast in millimetres
