Closed Window vs. Open Window Technique in Management of Palatally Impacted Canines
Closed Window Technique Versus Open Window Technique in Management of Palatally Impacted Canines. A Randomized Clinical Trial
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Rationale and objective: Two techniques for exposing palatally impacted canines are routinely used, the closed window technique (CWT) and the open window technique (OWT). To our knowledge, there is no evidence-based information that would suggest, which of the two techniques results in a better outcome. Our null hypothesis is that there is no difference in the outcome of exposed impacted maxillary canines after CWT or OWT.
Study design: A randomized clinical multicentre trial with a two-group design. The randomization is by canine, not by patient.
Study population: The case group consists of healthy persons of 11-17 years old who have unilateral palatally impacted canines.
Intervention: One group will be treated with the CWT and the other group with the OWT.
Main study parameters/endpoints: The main outcome measure will be the total duration of treatment (including also orthodontic treatment) with two techniques of management of impacted canines. The secondary outcome measures will be: (1) duration of surgical procedure, (2) patients perception of pain and recovery after surgery, (3) burden of care, (4) cost-effectiveness, (5) quality of life and satisfaction with treatment, (6) degree of root resorption of the lateral incisor, (7) periodontal status of impacted canine and adjacent teeth, (8) esthetic outcome, (9) need for endodontic treatment of the impacted canine or adjacent lateral incisor, (10) occlusal outcome (evaluated with PAR index).
Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: The CWT and OWT are current treatment techniques. To our knowledge, there is no sound scientific information available on which to base a treatment decision. The burden of each treatment is for the patient the same. Routine pre- and post-treatment records will be taken. The extra burden for the patients participating in the trial will be records and questionnaires during treatment and long-term

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: OWT - open window technique
In this arm, a palatally impacted canine will be exposed surgically and left for max 9 months.
No traction will be applied during this time.
|
palatally impacted canine will be exposed and left without traction for a maximum of 9 months
Other Names:
|
Active Comparator: CWT - closed window technique
In this arm, a palatally impacted canine will be exposed surgically, an attachment will be bonded to the tooth and traction will be applied after healing period is complete (1-2 weeks).
|
palatally impacted canine will be exposed, an attachment will be bonded, and then the canine will be covered with palatal tissue; traction of the canine will be initiated within 2 weeks following surgery

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Total duration of treatment
Time Frame: 24 - 36 months
|
The main study parameter will be the total duration of treatment.
The beginning of the treatment will be at the moment of placement of fixed orthodontic appliances.
In OWT group, the exposure of impacted canine will be performed prior to placement of fixed appliances.
Nevertheless, the beginning of treatment will also be the moment of placement of fixed appliances.
The end point of the study will be 6 months after completion of orthodontic treatment.

24 - 36 months

|
30 - 120 minutes
|
|
Patient's perception of pain and recovery after surgery measured on 100 mm visual analog scale (VAS)
Time Frame: 7 days
|
Patients will report pain/discomfort perception before surgery (baseline) and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 days after surgery.
|
7 days
|
Quality of life and satisfaction with treatment measured with Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) -14 questionnaire
Time Frame: 24-36 months
|
Quality of life and satisfaction with treatment will be assessed after completion of treatment orthodontic treatment (24-36 months after surgery).
Patients will be asked to answer questions from Oral Health Impact Profile 14 questionnaire.
|
24-36 months
|
Amount of root resorption of adjacent teeth
Time Frame: 24-36 months
|
24-36 months
|
|
Periodontal status of impacted canine and adjacent teeth - pocket depths, loss of clinical attachment, and gingival recession.
Time Frame: 24-36 months
|
Pocket depth (in mm), loss of clinical attachment level (in mm), and presence of gingival recession (Yes/No) will be measured on impacted canine and adjacent teeth 6 months after completion of orthodontic treatment.
|
24-36 months
|
Dentofacial esthetic outcome assessed on a photograph of the smile
Time Frame: 24-36 months
|
6 months after completion of orthodontic treatment a photograph of smiling patient will be made.
Using 100 mm visual analog scale (VAS) a panel of raters will judge esthetics of a smile.
|
24-36 months
|
Occlusal outcome assessed with PAR index
Time Frame: 24-36 months
|
A Peer Assessment Rating (PAR) index will be established on plaster models made immediately before any treatment and after completion of orthodontic treatment.
|

|
Need for endodontic treatment of the impacted canine or adjacent lateral incisor
Time Frame: 24-36 months
|
