ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how to prevent bone loss and other problems that can occur during orthodontic treatment when moving teeth, specifically focusing on the maxillary canine. Two methods, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection and a procedure called decortication, are being tested to see if they can help speed up the movement of teeth while minimizing issues like root exposure and gum recession. These complications can make orthodontic treatment more difficult and lead to the need for additional procedures.

To participate in this trial, patients need to be between 16 and 22 years old and have specific dental issues that require the removal of certain teeth and the retraction of the canines. Good oral hygiene is also necessary, and participants should not have serious health problems, severe crowding of teeth, or previous orthodontic treatments. If eligible, participants can expect to undergo these new treatment methods and help contribute to important research that could improve orthodontic care for future patients.
