Evaluation of the Accelerated Traction of Impacted Canines in Terms of Speed and Changes in the Dental Arches
Syria46 participantsStarted 2020-01-15
Plain-language summary
The time required for orthodontic traction of impacted canines after surgical exposure is a particularly troubling clinical problem because it prolongs the orthodontic treatment duration. During traction process, several complications could result in alveolar bone loss, root resorption of the adjacent teeth, ankylosis, discoloration, loss or vitality and gingival recession. Accordingly, and due to the lack of studies concerned with accelerating the traction movement of the impacted canines, we conducted this study to evaluate the effectiveness of some surgical interventions (corticotomy and Piezocision) in increasing the rate of orthodontic traction movement. We also aimed to evaluate dentoalveolar changes associated with the use of such accelerating procedures compared with the conventional traction method.
