Effects of Flapless Laser Corticotomy in Canine Retraction
Dental Malocclusion, Bimaxillary Protrusion
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Dental Malocclusion focused on measuring Flapless laser corticotomy, Canine retraction
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Full complement of teeth with no congenitally missing teeth except 3rd molars.
- Minor or no crowding cases requires four premolars extraction, canine retraction & maximum anchorage with bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion.
- No history of previous orthodontic treatment
- Clinically healthy patients with no history of drug intake and\or no history for any systemic illness, syndromes, craniofacial deformities.
- Vital teeth with normal periodontium and no root resorption.
- Adequate oral hygiene; probing depth values not exceeding 3 mm across the entire dentition; adequate thickness of the attached gingiva (1-2 mm).
- No radiographic evidence of bone loss.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Systemic disease that might have affected bone formation or density, such as osteoporosis, hyperparathyroidism, or vitamin D deficiency.
- Presence of any local or systemic surgical contraindication.
- Extracted or missing permanent tooth/teeth except for 3rd molars.

Flapless laser corticotomy will randomly be assigned to one side of the 14 maxillary arches (experimental side) before canine retraction.
Canine retraction will be done on the other side without Laser corticotomy .
