3-D Evaluation of Alveolar Bone Changes and Root Resorption After Traction of Buccally Displaced Maxillary Canines

Yemen40 participantsStarted 2026-03-02

Plain-language summary

This clinical study used CBCT images to investigate the alveolar bone changes and root resorption in unilateral buccally displaced maxillary canines and adjacent teeth before and after orthodontic traction of unilateral BDMCs. The CBCT images will also be used to compare these changes to the normal contralateral side. The study outcome is to compare the 3-D changes in the alveolar bone and dental roots between the 2 interventional techniques (segmentalT-loop and piggyback NiTi traction) methods.
