Arm Description

I-PRF assisted upper canine retraction will be performed in one side of patients with Class II Division 1 malocclusion patients requiring therapeutic extraction of the maxillary first premolars

Conventional upper canine retraction will be performed in the other side of patients with Class II Division 1 malocclusion patients requiring therapeutic extraction of the maxillary first premolars

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change of the rate of canine retraction
The rate of canine retraction defines as the distance traveled in millimeters (mm) divided by the time required (in week). Orthodontic models will be taken before the beginning of canine retraction and every 28 days until the canines will be in the proper position (class 1). The distance of canine retraction will be calculated by measuring the difference between the initial cast and the final cast using the method described by Ziegler and Ingervall, which rely on Stable palatal reference Points (the medial ends of the third palatal rugae, Midpalatal Suture) and the tips of the canines and then this distance will be divided by the number of intervals (weeks) to give the rate of retraction in millimeters per week. Measurements will be made from the orthodontic models manually by direct technique using digital dental calipers.

Secondary Outcome Measures

pain levels
A questionnaire will be given to the patients to study pain level accompanying PRF injection compared to the control side. Pain will be assessed using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) 1 (No Pain) - 10 (Worst Pain)

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Twenty patients need therapeutic extraction of the maxillary first premolars with subsequent retraction of the maxillary canines, will be divided randomly into two groups, and will randomly assigned to one side of the maxillary arch at the first premolar region , and the other side served as the control. canine retraction will be initiated after completion of the leveling and alignment phase via closed nickel-titanium coil springs applying 150 g of force per side , soldered transpalatal arch will be used as an anchor unit. Pre- and post distalization dental casts will be evaluated to study rate of canine distalization, over a follow-up period until a Class I canine relationship will be achieved. The levels of Pain and discomfort will be monitored using a questionnaire with a VAS scale administered three times during the first day after prf injection.
Detailed Description
Reduced orthodontic treatment duration is important for care providers and orthodontic patients.it is also desirable that aesthetic concerns and time dependent adverse events such as discomfort, pain, external root resorption, suboptimal oral hygiene, white spot lesions and dental caries are held to the minimum. Although the surgical assisted accelerated orthodontic tooth movement (such as distraction of periodontal ligament, distraction of dentoalveolus, periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO),Corticision, orthognathic surgery, piezocision, piezopuncture and micro osteoperforation). It has been proved to be the most effective one currently, its disadvantages are: it is a bone surgery, and it causes loss of alveolar bone that undermines the periodontal support of the target teeth. Noninvasive and nonsurgical methods have always been preferred by both the clinicians and the patients. These techniques have ranged from application of biological molecules to innovative technologies such as resonance vibration, cyclic forces, light electrical currents, magnetic field forces, low-intensity laser irradiation and low-level light therapy. Endogenously produced biologicals have been tested based on their roles in the turnover of alveolar bone in response to orthodontic tooth movement as well as during wound healing. That's why the submucosal injection of platelet rich plasma (PRP) is a technique developed for accelerating orthodontic tooth movement by simulating the effects of bone insult without surgery and loss of alveolar bone, Some researchers found that prp injection created a regional acceleratory phenomenon-like effect which forms the basis of rapid tooth movement compared with conventional orthodontic treatment. From here it has been thought about using a method to eliminate the surgical techniques' side effects. It has been found that platelet rich fibrin (PRF) has the ability to enhance tissue regeneration, accelerate wound healing and inducing stem cells differentiation through its growth factors (GFs). PRF characteristics in comparison to platelet rich plasma PRP are: its preparation is completely natural and there is no need for thrombin addition so there isn't immune reaction it contains stem cells it requires one stage centrifugation PRF has been reported to gradually release autologous growth factors and expressed stronger and more durable effect on the cellular proliferation and differentiation than PRP in vitro This is the first study in the world that will use i-PRF with Orthodontic treatment, because of its benefits and easiness of using in dental clinic Study sample that consists of 20 patients, was calculated using (G-power sample size calculator), depending on the rate of canine retraction with a study power of 95%. Allocation of the sides of intervention (PRF injection) and control sides is made by computer program (Excel). After ensuring of the patients compliance with the terms and conditions of this study, the purpose and methods of the study will be explained to the patients using Information Sheet. In case of approval to participate, the patients asked to sign the Informed Consent. Extra & Intra-oral photographs, impressions and clinical examination will be made. Canine retraction will be initiated after completion of the leveling and alignment phase via closed nickel-titanium coil springs applying 150 g of force per side at the same time 20ml of patients' blood will be withdrawn and centrifuged (700 rpm within 3 minutes) to get 4ml i-PRF. PRF will be injected at the area of the extracted first premolar, The first point place is in the buccal interventional side (supra periosteal injection) and the second point place is in the palatal interventional side(sub periosteal injection). PRF will be injected twice at the beginning and at the middle of the canine retraction. All measures will be analyzed before and after canine retraction between two sides. A questionnaire will be given to the patients to study pain level accompanying PRF injection compared to the control side. Pain will be assessed using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) 1 (No Pain) - 10 (Worst Pain). A questionnaire will be given to the patients to study their acceptance of new treatment approach with comprehensive orthodontic treatments.
