Which is Better Piezosurgery or Piezosurgery With Laser in Accelerating Orthodontic Tooth Movement
Conditions: Angle Class II
Sex: All
Ages: 17 Years – 28 Years
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 60
Sponsor: Damascus University
Location: Syrian Arab Republic
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 springs applying 250 g of force per side.
For anchorage, mini implants will be inserted between the second premolars and the first molar on each side.
