Effect of Different Grafting Material Following Surgically Facilitated Orthodontics Therapy: a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

The purpose of this study is to quantitatively investigate the radiographic changes of alveolar bone, and gingival tissue changes of the mandibular anterior teeth in experimental group A receiving SFOT using freeze-dried allograft with a collagen membrane, experimental group B receiving SFOT using particulate xenograft covered by a collagen membrane and control group receiving only orthodontics therapy.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Group A
Participants will receive Surgically facilitated orthodontics therapy (SFOT) along with bone grafting using particulate allograft and collagen membrane, prior to orthodontics treatment.
Active Comparator: Control group
Participants will have conventional orthodontics treatment with Invisalign aligners, without any surgical intervention
Experimental: Group B
Participants will receive SFOT using particulate xenograft and collagen membrane, prior to orthodontics treatment.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame

CAL is the distance between CEJ and base of the pocket
Baseline, at alignment (approximately 4 months after the start of orthodontics treatment).
Change in width of keratinized tissue (WKT) at alignment
Time Frame: Baseline, at alignment (approximately 4 months after the start of orthodontics treatment).
Baseline, at alignment (approximately 4 months after the start of orthodontics treatment).
