Evaluation of the Periodontal Status After the Treatment of Palatally Impacted Canines Using Acceleration Procedures
Impacted Canine
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Impacted Canine focused on measuring Impacted canine, accelerate canine traction, periodontal index, periodontal status
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Age of patients: 18-28 years. Palatal or Mid-alveolar impacted canine. There is no previous orthodontic treatment. Healthy periodontal tissues and good oral health (i.e., the Plaque Index is less or equal to 1 according to Loe and Silness(1963). The patient does not take any drug that may interfere with the tooth movement (Cortisone, NSAIDs …). Mild or no crowding on the upper jaw.

Conventional treatment
Surgically-assisted treatment
Patients will be treated using the fixed appliances to track the impacted canines after opening the appropriate distance
Patients will be treated using fixed appliances assisted by minimally-invasive corticotomy (alveolar perforations and piezocision) to accelerate impacted canines' traction after opening the appropriate distance.
