Adult periodontal comparison after treatment of palatally impacted canines aligned by conventional or accelerated minimally-invasive corticotomy-assisted orthodontic traction: A randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To compare the post-treatment periodontal status of the palatally impacted canines and their adjacent teeth treated by an accelerated minimally-invasive corticotomy-assisted method versus the conventional traction method.

Material And Methods: A parallel-group two-arm randomized controlled trial was conducted on patients with palatally or mid-alveolar unilateral impacted canines. Participants were randomly selected and allocated to receive the conventional treatment (CT) with a closed surgical approach, or accelerated treatment (CAT).

Assessment of Patient-Centered Outcomes When Treating Palatally Impacted Canines Using Conventional Versus Accelerated Minimally Invasive Corticotomy-Assisted Orthodontic Treatment: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective This study aimed to investigate whether there were any differences in pain levels, discomfort, and functional impairments when treating palatally impacted canines (PICs) using the conventional treatment method compared to the accelerated minimally invasive corticotomy-assisted method. Materials and methods Fifty-two patients (11 males and 41 females) with unilateral PICs were included. The patients were randomly assigned to the conventional traction group (26 patients, mean age of 20.

The Effectiveness of Conventional and Accelerated Methods of Orthodontic Traction and Alignment of Palatally Impacted Canines in Terms of Treatment Time, Velocity of Tooth Movement, Periodontal, and Patient-Reported Outcomes: A Systematic Review.

The objective of the current review was to evaluate the effectiveness of traditional and accelerated methods of palatally impacted canine's (PIC) traction in terms of treatment duration, velocity, periodontal, and patient-reported variables. An electronic search for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and controlled clinical trials (CCTs) published between January 1990 and October 2021 was conducted in nine databases. Five major orthodontic journals were hand searched for additional studies.

Evaluation of the open-bite Bionator versus the removable posterior bite plane with a tongue crib in the early treatment of skeletal anterior open bite: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Several treatment approaches can be found in the literature about early treatment of open bite. However, no studies have addressed the use of a removable posterior bite plane with a tongue crib (RPBP/C), compared with functional appliances, for treating open-bite cases. The objectives of this trial was to compare the effectiveness of the open-bite Bionator (OBB) and the RPBP/C as an early intervention to correct skeletal open-bite cases in children, in terms of limiting excessive vertical growth of the craniofacial skeletal components and normalizing the developement of the anterior dentoalveolar region.
