Evaluation of the Periodontal Status After the Treatment of Palatally Impacted Canines Using Acceleration Procedures
Conditions: Impacted Canine
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – 28 Years
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 46
Sponsor: Damascus University
Location: Syrian Arab Republic
Summary
Impacted canine causes many problems for patients, such as damage to the adjacent teeth roots, effects on gingival tissues, aesthetic problems, difficulty, and prolonged orthodontic treatment duration.
Therefore, solutions to accelerate the movement of impacted canines with the help of surgical procedures to reduce treatment time will be investigated, such as intra-operative alveolar perforations and piezocision.
We also aimed to evaluate periodontal changes associated with such accelerating procedures compared with the conventional traction method.
Eligibility Criteria
