Evaluating the impact of micro-osteoperforation on tooth movement in molar distalization
Evaluation of the Effect of Micro-osteoperforation on the Rate of Bone Anchored Molar Distalization: a Split-mouth Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
This study is testing if a new technique called micro-osteoperforation can help move back the first molars faster in people getting orthodontic treatment.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to assess the effect of micro-osteoperforations (MOPs) on the rate of tooth movement during the distalization of the first molars. Participants will undergo a preparatory phase involving the placement of mini-screws and imaging, followed by an experimental phase where MOPs will be applied to one side of the maxillary molars. The study will utilize a randomized controlled design with follow-up visits to monitor progress and stability. The outcomes will be measured using digital models and cone beam computed tomography imaging.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults with a skeletal Class I or mild Class II relationship and full permanent dentition.
Not a fit: Patients with systemic diseases, severe skeletal Class II relationships, or dental anomalies may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance the efficiency of molar distalization, leading to shorter treatment times for patients.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promising results with micro-osteoperforation techniques, suggesting potential effectiveness in enhancing tooth movement.
