Age minimum: 18 Years
Age maximum: 30 Years
Gender: All
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Class II Div 1 Malocclusion
Protrusion, Incisor
Intervention(s)
Procedure: Flapless corticotomy surgical intervention will be conducted
Procedure: Traditional corticotomy
Primary Outcome(s)
Change in the SNA angle [Time Frame: The cephalogram will be taken twice, 1 week before the commencement of the retraction and at the completion of retraction. Completion of this procedure is expected to be done within 6 months in the experimental group and 8 months in the control group.]
Duration of en-masse retraction of anterior teeth [Time Frame: The months required to compete the retraction procedure will be recorded. Completion of this procedure is expected to be occur within six months in the experimental group and eight months in the control group.]
Change in Molars' positions [Time Frame: T0: 1 day before the beginning of retraction. T1: after 1 month (m) of retraction. T2: after 2 m of retraction. T3: after 3 m. T4: after 4 m. T5: at the end of retraction (expected to be within 6 m in the exp. group and 8 m in the control group)]
Change in the SNB angle [Time Frame: The cephalogram will be taken twice, 1 week before the commencement of the retraction and at the completion of retraction. Completion of this procedure is expected to be done within 6 months in the experimental group and 8 months in the control group.]
Change in the MM angle [Time Frame: The cephalogram will be taken twice, 1 week before the commencement of the retraction and at the completion of retraction. Completion of this procedure is expected to be done within 6 months in the experimental group and 8 months in the control group.]
Change in the SN.GoMe angle [Time Frame: The cephalogram will be taken twice, 1 week before the commencement of the retraction and at the completion of retraction. Completion of this procedure is expected to be done within 6 months in the experimental group and 8 months in the control group.]
Change in Incisors' positions [Time Frame: T0: 1 day before the beginning of retraction. T1: after 1 month (m) of retraction. T2: after 2 m of retraction. T3: after 3 m. T4: after 4 m. T5: at the end of retraction (expected to be within 6 m in the exp. group and 8 m in the control group)]
Rate of retraction [Time Frame: The calculation of the rate of retraction will be done once the retraction procedures has finished. Completion of this procedure is expected to occur within 6 months in the experimental group and 8 months in the control group.]
Change in the ANB angle [Time Frame: The cephalogram will be taken twice, 1 week before the commencement of the retraction and at the completion of retraction. Completion of this procedure is expected to be done within 6 months in the experimental group and 8 months in the control group.]
Secondary Outcome(s)
Change in the Bleeding index [Time Frame: This will be measured: one day before the commencement of the retraction phase and at the end of the retraction phase which is expected to occur within 6 months in the experimental group and 8 months in the control group.]
Change in the Gingival index [Time Frame: This will be measured: one day before the commencement of the retraction phase and at the end of the retraction phase which is expected to occur within 6 months in the experimental group and 8 months in the control group.]
Change in the Plaque index [Time Frame: This will be measured: one day before the commencement of the retraction phase and at the end of the retraction phase which is expected to occur within 6 months in the experimental group and 8 months in the control group.]
Change in the levels of pain and discomfort [Time Frame: Levels of pain will be assessed at : 24 hours following the surgical intervention (T1), one week (T2) , two weeks (T3) and four weeks (T4) following the surgical intervention]
Change in Tooth Vitality [Time Frame: This will be measured: one day before the commencement of the retraction phase and at the end of the retraction phase which is expected to occur within 6 months in the experimental group and 8 months in the control group.]
Gingival Recession [Time Frame: Two measurements are required for this calculation: one day before the commencement of the retraction phase and at the end of the retraction phase which is expected to occur within 6 months in the experimental group and 8 months in the control group.]
