Comparing the effects of one versus three micro-osteo-perforations on tooth movement speed.
The Effect of Number of Micro-osteo-perforations on the Rate of Tooth Movement: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
NA · Rehman Medical Institute - RMI · NCT05995509
This study is testing whether using one or three tiny holes in the bone can speed up tooth movement for young orthodontic patients who need braces.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of micro-osteo-perforations (MOPs) in accelerating canine retraction in orthodontic patients. It employs a split-mouth design, where one side of the mouth receives one MOP and the other side receives three MOPs, allowing for a direct comparison of tooth movement rates. The study focuses on Class II division I orthodontic patients aged 12-25 who require bilateral first premolar extraction. By addressing the prolonged treatment times associated with orthodontics, this trial seeks to provide insights into optimizing MOP techniques for better patient outcomes.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are male and female orthodontic patients aged 12-25 requiring bilateral first premolar extraction in the maxillary arch.
Not a fit: Patients with systemic diseases, active periodontal issues, or a history of smoking may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could significantly reduce orthodontic treatment times for patients, leading to improved satisfaction and fewer complications.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies on micro-osteo-perforations have shown promise, but this trial aims to address gaps in methodology and provide more detailed insights.
