Evaluation of the Levels of Pain and Discomfort Associated With Two Techniques of Corticotomy
Syria34 participantsStarted 2018-02-15
Plain-language summary
This study aims to estimate the levels of pain and discomfort associated with the en-masse retraction of the six upper anterior teeth and assisted by either conventional or flapless corticotomy.
Thirty-four adult patients exhibiting class Π division 1 malocclusion will be randomly allocated to either the conventional corticotomy group or the flapless corticotomy group, and they will be treated by extraction of maxillary first premolars with applying mini-screws between maxillary second premolar and first molar as temporary skeletal anchorage devices (TSADs). The levels of pain and discomfort will be rated after 24 hours of corticotomy (T1), four days (T2), seven days (T3), 14 days (T4) and after 28 days of corticotomy, by asking the patients to fill in a questionnaire for assessing levels of pain and discomfort.

What they're measuring
1
Change in the levels of pain perception
Timeframe: Levels of pain perception will be assessed at: 24 hours following the surgical intervention (T1), 4 days (T2), one week (T3), two weeks (T4), and four weeks (T5) following the surgical intervention
2
Change in the levels of discomfort perception
Timeframe: Levels of discomfort perception will be assessed at: 24 hours following the surgical intervention (T1), 4 days (T2), one week (T3), two weeks (T4), and four weeks (T5) following the surgical intervention
