er,cr:ysgg laser-aided fiberotomy in the prevention of the lower incisors rotational relapse

Conditions: Rotated Teeth

Summary: to establish the effect of erbium, chromium,yttrium,scandium,gallium and garnet (er,cr: ysgg) laser-aided circumferential supracrestal fiberotomy compared to a conventional circumferential supracrestal fiberotomy group, after leveling and alignment during the first month after arch wire removal on the prevention of rotational relapse in lower incisors. methods: randomized clinical trial in 60 orthodontic patients with two to four lower incisors rotation between 30º-50º degrees before treatment.they are going to be assigned in two intervention groups, each group with 30 patients. one group are going to be treated with er;cr: ysgg laser -aided csf and the other group with conventional circumferential supracrestal fiberotomy. after leveling and alignment each procedure will be performed and after one month healing the arch wire will be removed for a month and lower incisor relapse will be measured through cast models in a software. periodontal parameters will be registered before and after procedures.the outcomes are going to be determined and compared between groups with corresponding statistical test and results will be analyzed

(population, intervention, comparison, outcomes )pico question is there any difference in the amount of rotational relapse of the anterior lower teeth after leveling and alignment between er;cr:ysgg laser-aided circumferential supracrestal fiberotomy compared with conventional circumferential supracrestal fiberotomy after the removal of the arch wire one month once healed? population: orthodontic patients with lower incisors rotation between 30º-50º degrees intervention:er:cr;ysgg laser-aided csf (waterlase, biolase, irvine,california, usa) comparison: conventional csf outcomes primary outcome: rotation relapse degree after one month removed teeth from the arch wire secondary outcome: probing depth and clinical crown height (gingival margin position)baseline, after leveling and alignment stage one month removed lower incisors from the arch wire. aims general aim to establish the effect of er,cr: ysgg laser -aided circumferential supracrestal fiberotomy compared to a conventional circumferential supracrestal fiberotomy group on the prevention of rotational relapse in lower incisors, during the first month after the teeth are removed from the arch. specific aims * determine the degree of rotation of the lower incisors in the two groups of the pretreatment study, at the end of the alignment and leveling stage and the month after performing the intervention. * determine the probing depth and the position of the gingival margin of the lower incisors in the two groups of the pretreatment study, at the end of the alignment and leveling stage and the month after performing the intervention. * determine the perception of pain in patients of the two study groups at baseline, 24, 48 and 72 hours. * compare rotational relapse, probing depth, gingival margin position in each study group during the follow-up time. * compare rotational relapse, probing depth and gingival margin position between study groups during follow-up time. methods overview of design study design: randomized clinical trial randomized clinical trial in 60 lower incisors with moderate initial rotation (30-50 degrees). the eligible patients are going to be randomly allocated into two groups, each group with 30 teeth. one group is going to be treated with er,cr:ysgg laser - aided circumferential supracrestal fiberotomy and the other group with conventional circumferential supracrestal fiberotomy. blinding: it is not possible to blind patients and clinical staff, but the investigators are going to blind the operator who will perform the measurements and the data analysis (single-blinded) the protocol for both procedures will be the same except for the intervention. alginate impressions and cast models at the beginning of the study will be taken and initial rotation of mandibular incisors will be measured based on a xerox copy of the lower cast (canon xerox machine, imagerunner (ir) 5050 ota, tokyo, japan) while the occlusal table faced down on the screen, a xerox copy of it will be made. the xerox copies will be scanned (canon canoscan 9000f mark ii, ota, tokyo, japan) and saved as a image file format jpeg (joint photographic experts group) files. the files will be imported to the software to drawn an imaginary arch passing through the outermost surface of the anterior and posterior teeth. to measure the initial rotation, the jpeg images will be opened in a digimizer image analysis software (version 4.3 orange, california)the angle between the incisor edge and the line tangent to the imaginary arch will be measured as initial rotation. measures of lower incisors will be taken by previously-calibrated operators as well as periodontal measurements at baseline, after leveling and alignment and one month after separating the teeth from the arch wire. pain measurement evaluations will be determined by the visual analogue scale (vas) at baseline, 24,48 y 72 hrs. design for sampling study population: -orthodontic patients from the orthodontic department clinics of the unicieo sampling: no probabilistic: convenience sample consecutive sample of consenting patients plans for recruitment patients of the clinic university (unicieo) that meet the selection criteria and accept to participate. measurements main predictor variable -relapse lower incisors (er;cr ysgg laser-aided csf) potential confounding age sex outcome variables dental stone cast scanned outcomes (t3-t4): -quantity of lower anterior teeth rotation relapse tendency measured 1 month after arch wire removed periodontal outcomes: quantity of probing depth and gingival margin position (coronal height) measured 1 month after arch wire removed pain outcomes: visual analogue scale (0-10) measures after clinical intervention statistical issues approach to statistical analysis the data analysis will be processed in the statistics program statistical package for the social sciences (spss) software (version 21, chicago, il).evaluation of normality of data will be valued with the kolmogorov-smirnov test. one-way anova will be used to determine any significant differences significance level is going to be set at p\< 0.05
