Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Condition: Angle Class II
Study Type: Interventional
Official Title: Effectiveness of Piezocision or the Combination of Piezocision and Low-level Laser Therapy on Orthodontic Tooth Movement During En-masse Retraction and the Associated Dentoalveolar Changes: A Three-ar
Brief Summary:
Sixty patients who need extraction-based treatment of the maxillary first premolars with subsequent retraction of the maxillary anterior teeth will be divided randomly into three groups: piezocision group, piezocision with low-level laser therapy group, and control group. In each group, after the levelling and alignment phase is completed, the rectangular stainless steel archwires (0.019" × 0.025") will be inserted, then after two weeks, the en masse retraction will be started via closed nickel-titanium coil…
