Evaluation of Corticotomy-Assisted Canine Retraction Rate

Sponsor: Tanzila Rafique

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The goal of this split-mouth randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of corticotomy on maxillary canine retraction rate compared to conventional orthodontic techniques. Each participant acts as their own control. After bilateral maxillary first premolar extractions, one quadrant is randomly assigned to receive corticotomy before retraction, while the contralateral quadrant undergoes standard orthodontic retraction without corticotomy.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Experimental: Corticotomy¬-Assisted Canine Retraction

Corticotomy will be performed on one maxillary quadrant before initiating standardized canine distalization.

PROCEDURE

Active Comparator / Control: Conventional Canine Retraction

Conventional canine retraction will be performed on the contralateral quadrant without corticotomy under identical orthodontic mechanics.
