Root Resorption and Alveolar Bone in the Maxillary Canine Retraction Using Injectable Platelet-rich Fibrin: A Split-Mouth Trial

Vietnam31 participantsStarted 2022-08-27

Plain-language summary

Prolonged orthodontic treatment is a risk factor for root resorption, so accelerating the speed of tooth movement using different methods can limit tooth root resorption. There are multiple factors causing root resorption, such as orthodontic force level, treatment duration, and methods of quantification of root resorption. PRF, a completely autologous fibrin matrix, was developed as a second-generation platelet concentrate without adding anticoagulants and additives. The injectable platelet-rich fibrin is the liquid form of the substance obtained through low-speed centrifugation. It has many advantages over the conventional form, such as higher rates of regenerative cells and growth factors. In the present study, Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) was used as a measurement tool for root resorption. CBCT is a helpful tool for evaluating changes in the root length of teeth and surrounding bone tissue.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients who have completed long-term tooth replacement have cervical vertebral maturity at stages CS5, CS6 according to the classification of Baccetti et al. * Patients with type I Angle malformation have bilateral maxillary first small canines * No missing teeth except third molars * No previous orthodontic treatment * Absence of systemic diseases and dentofacial anomalies, had good periodontal health, had typical values of blood tests, e.g., bleeding time 1 - 4 minutes, coagulation time 5 - 10 minutes * Patients agreed to participate in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients suffering from bleeding disorders, diabetes, bone diseases, periodontal disease, and cancer are using drugs such as aspirin, heparin, warfarin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and glucocorticoids... affects the speed of tooth movement and the ability to clot and stop bleeding. * The patient has trauma and facial deformities * The patient smokes and is pregnant. The patient had other teeth extracted except the first premolar
