Randomized, Blinded, Controlled Clinical Trial of Surgically Facilitated Orthodontic Treatment in the Mandibular Anterior Region
The purpose of this investigation is intended to evaluate the efficacy of surgically
facilitated orthodontic treatment (SFO) in terms of treatment time, incidence of root
shortening, and occurrence of mucogingival side effects compared to conventional orthodontic
therapy in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment to correct crowding and/or
retroclination of their mandibular anterior dentition.
facilitated orthodontic treatment (SFO) in terms of treatment time, incidence of root
shortening, and occurrence of mucogingival side effects compared to conventional orthodontic
therapy in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment to correct crowding and/or
retroclination of their mandibular anterior dentition.
The null-hypothesis for this research project is that there will be no difference in the
rate of orthodontic movement among patients requiring proclination or alignment of their
mandibular anterior teeth with SFO (TEST group) as compared to conventional orthodontic
treatment (CONTROL group). A null-hypothesis is that there will be no difference between
both treatment groups in the occurrence of dental (root shortening) or periodontal
(mucogingival defects, alveolar bone resorption) complications associated with orthodontic
treatment.
