Canine Retraction

Keywords
canine retraction, archwire gauge
Brief summary
trial will be done to evaluate the effect of archwire gauge on the rate of canine retraction, canine tip and torque, root resorption and loss of anchorage in maxillary dental protrusion cases requiring first premolars extraction.
Detailed description
Three working archwires of different gauges will be used during canine retraction; st.st 0.019×0.025 as a comparator, st.st 0.016×0.022 and st.st 0.017×0.025 wires as interventions. after levelling and alignment till reaching the working archwire, it will be left in place for a month then maxillary first premolars will be extracted and base line records will be taken(digital models, digital periapical radiographs and panorama). digital models will be taken monthly to measure rate of canine retraction for 6 months. after 6 month evaluation of anchorage loss, change in canine tip and torque will be done on last obtained digital model , panorama will be taken to evaluate the change in canine tip and digital periapical radiograph will be taken and compared with the preretraction radiograph to evaluate amount of root resorption.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| rate of canine retraction | 6 months | the distance that canine moved every month |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| change in canine tip | 6 months | change in canine crown tipping to certain reference plane with the aid of cone beam computed tomography |
| change in canine torque | 6 months | change in canine crown and root torque to certain reference plane with the aid of cone beam computed tomography |
| loss of molar anchorage | 6 months | assess from digital models if there is change in mesio-distal position of maxillary first molar |
| amount of canine root resorption | 6 months | assess amount of root resorption (if occurred) with the aid of cone beam computed tomography |
