Study of Alveolar Decortication with CGF Injection to Speed Up Maxillary Canine Tooth Movement in Orthodontics

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to evaluate whether alveolar bone decortication combined with concentrated growth factor CGF injection can speed up tooth movement during orthodontic treatment, specifically focusing on the retraction of the maxillary canine. The study involves patients aged 16 to 22 years with certain types of malocclusion requiring extraction and canine retraction, seeking to understand the impact of this combined procedure on accelerating orthodontic tooth movement. Participants will receive treatment on one side of the upper jaw that includes alveolar decortication followed by CGF injection near the maxillary canine. This surgical procedure involves making multiple small perforations in the cortical bone after local anesthesia and flap reflection, followed by CGF injection. The other side of the upper jaw will receive standard orthodontic canine retraction without acceleration techniques, serving as the control. The procedure is randomized and single-blinded. During the 4-month study period, researchers will measure the rate of canine retraction as the primary outcome. Participants will undergo regular orthodontic treatment visits, and the study will monitor the difference between the treated and control sides. The study also includes assessment of oral hygiene and periodontal health to ensure suitability and safety throughout treatment. Overall participation spans the tooth movement period, with close follow-up to observe effects of the intervention.
