Active clinical trials for "Malocclusion"

The aim of the study is to perform a three-dimensional (3D) evaluation of the dentoskeletal changes in pubertal Class II malocclusion subjects treated with the Herbst appliance (HAG), in comparison with a Class II comparison group (CG). 3D virtual models generated from three time-point CBCTs (T0, baseline; T1, immediately after Herbst insertion; and T2, 8 months after) of 25 HAG patients will be evaluated. Virtual models obtained from 25 Class II malocclusion patients, in the same stage of biologic maturation and skeletal abnormality, but with no orthopedic treatment will be constructed for the CG subjects. These CG patients are under orthodontic treatment, but only with teeth alignment. Voxel based registration on the anterior cranial fossa will be used to assess maxillary and mandibular displacement/articular fossa remodeling; regional registration on the mandibular corpus will be performed to evaluate mandibular growth and mandibular dental changes; and regional registration on the anterior region of the maxilla will be performed to evaluate maxillary growth and maxillary dental changes.

The purpose of this study is to compare bonding time, bond survival, amount of adhesive remaining on the tooth surface after bracket debonding, and time required for adhesive remnant cleanup between a new "flash-free" and a conventional adhesive resin for orthodontic bracket bonding.

To demonstrate that a primer aligner product can achieve similar results to the currently marketed product.

Aim: to search for reasons for seeking orthodontic treatment, compliance during orthodontic treatment, drop-out from orthodontic treatment and success of orthodontic treatment. Methods: evaluation before, during and at the end of orthodontic treatment. Clinical and diagnostic evaluation of complexity before and at the end of orthodontic treatment, evaluation of awareness of treatment need, impact on social and psychological aspects, functional disturbances, impact of malocclusion on quality of life, social interaction, ability to perform daily activities.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether personalized titanium plates can achieve better accuracy than CAD/CAM surgical splint in maxilla repositioning in orthognathic surgery, and evaluate the feasibility of this technique in clinical application.

Patients at the Orthodontic Department of University of Damascus Dental School will be examined and subjects who meet the inclusion criteria will be included. Then, initial diagnostic records (diagnostic gypsum models, internal and external oral photographs, as well as radiographic images) will be studied to ensure that the selection criteria are accurately matched. The aim of this study is to compare two groups of patients with moderate crowding of the lower anterior teeth First group (Experimental): the patients in this group will be treated with orthodontic fixed appliances + surgery to the alveolus of the lower anterior teeth in order to induce remodeling of the bony structures and enhance orthodontic movement. Second group (Control): the patients in this group will be treated using fixed appliances with any acceleration method.

Then, initial diagnostic records (diagnostic gypsum models, internal and external oral photographs, as well as radiographic images) will be studied to ensure that the selection criteria are accurately matched. The aim of this study is to compare flapless bone cutting by mechanical drills to evaluate the acceleration of the retraction of upper canines versus traditional bone cutting by piezo-surgery in comparison with a control group without bone cutting after extraction of upper first premolars in class II type I patients.

The aim of the present study was to compare, a standard efficient technique in accelerating OTM as surgical corticotomy as a gold standard versus surgical corticotomy combined with LLLT in an attempt for further acceleration of OTM.

To analyze the distalization or distal tooth displacement and derotation angle produced by Carriere Motion Appliance® (CMA) by using a repeatable and reproducible measurement digital technique.
