Brief summary

Bimaxillary dental proclination is the condition where the upper and lower dental arches are procline thus increase lip fullness. Since the aim of orthodontic treatment in bimaxillary proclination in to get flatten profile where the incisor inclinations are purposely reduced or interincisal angle are increased, therefore it is guarded for corrected dentition to maintain stable or not post orthodontic treatment.Therefore, this study is looking into evidence which is the best retainer to maintain stability of bimaxillary proclination cases following fixed appliances treatment.

Detailed description

Study title Stability of Bimaxillary Proclination Cases Following Fixed Appliances Treatment: A Randomized Control Trial Study Population Pre-treatment of bimaxillary proclination patient who completed active orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances and are scheduled to debond at Orthodontic Clinic, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Malaya. Study Design Randomized, prospective, single-center control trial. Three parallel arm groups of patients will be assigned for 3 types of retention methods; 1.VFR 2.Fixed bonded retainer 3.Double regime (bonded & VFR) Aim of study To determine the best mode of retention to maintain the stability of bimaxillary proclination cases treated by four premolars extraction and fixed appliances. Specific Objectives 1. To measure the post treatment dental and soft tissue stability in the retention phase up to one-year post treatment 2. To compare the effectiveness the different types of retainers to maintain the stability of orthodontically corrected bimaxillary proclination 3. To determine the impact of the different types of retainers on the OHRQoL Sample Size The sample size calculation was done using G\*power software version 3.1.The f-test, repeated measures ANOVA, within-between interaction were used. Based on the effect size of 0.43 (Keating PJ 1986), maximum accuracy (power) of 80% (0.80), error of 5% (0.05), number of groups are 3, number of measurements are 2, correlation among repetitive measures is 0.5, nonsphericity correlation is 1, total number of 18 subjects needed for entire study. Allowing for 50% dropout, a final sample size of 27 subjects with 9 subjects per group will be used. Study Duration September 2019 - Disember 2021

Interventions

OTHERVacuum formed retainer, fixed bonded retainer, vacuum formed and fixed bonded retainer

Patients will be instructed to wear the removable vacuum form retainer for 8 to 10 hours per day and only removed the retainers during tooth brushing. (Thickett 2010), (Gill 2007). The vacuum formed retainer will be constructed using thermoplastic material that will be purchased from manufacturer at 1.0mm thickness. Meanwhile, bonded retainer will be done using Ormco ® response deadsoft retainer wire size 0.190 round, made in USA by ORMCO Corporation, the fixed bonded wire will be extended distal to the extraction spaces that were previously closed by fixed appliances on both the upper and lower arches. The bonded retainer will be wearing by patients for 24 hours. Double regime retainer that will be comprised of vacuum formed and bonded retainer will be constructed using the same properties as vacuum formed retainer and bonded retainer. A standard oral and written instruction will be given to patients regarding retainer's uses. (Shawesh M et.al, 2009).

Masking description

The patient will be decided for the type of retention treatment by picking an opaque and sealed envelope. The participants study models will be examined and assigned with a blinding code by first researcher , who will be blinded to the subjects' retainer allocation. Patients name on the printed radiograph will also be removed. Therefore,the first researcher will be blinded to those she will be measuring. The blinding code will be prepared by second researcher before first researcher measure the casts and radiographs.

Intervention model description

This study will be encompassed 3 groups of patients that will be assigned for 3 types of retention methods; 1. VFR (upper and lower arches) 2. Fixed bonded retainers (upper and lower arches) 3. Double regime (bonded retainers & VFR for upper and lower arches). (Abd Rahman 2016)

Inclusion criteria

1. Pretreatment bimaxillary proclination patients with interincisal angle less than 125º (Keating PJ 1986). 2. Patients with fixed orthodontic appliances treatment on both arches consisting of the extraction of 4 premolars (Keating 1986). 3. Both arches are indicated for retainers. 4. Pre-treatment lateral cephalometric radiograph of adequate diagnostic quality.

Exclusion criteria

1. Pretreatment spacing eg: Median diastema. 2. No change or proclined lower labial segment post treatment. 3. Early debond patient. 4. Patient intended to relocate within study period. 5. Hypodontia that require prosthesis, cleft lip and/or cleft palate, or orthognathic cases. 6. Patients with learning disabilities and unable to listen, speak and read written instructions in Bahasa Melayu or English.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Stability: Change in the incisal inclinations1 year post debond of orthodontic fixed appliancesTo measure any changes in the upper incisor to maxillary plane angle, lower incisor to mandibular plane angle and changes in interincisal angle. This angular measurement will be measured in degree.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Stability: Soft tissue changes1 year post debond of orthodontic fixed appliancesTo measure any changes in the nasolabial angle, labiomental angle. These will be measured in degree. The upper and lower lips distances in relation to Rickett's Esthetic line will be measured in millimeter (mm).
Stability of dentition1 year post debond of orthodontic fixed appliancesAny irregularity at lower labial segment will be measured using Little Irregularity Index. This will be measured in millimeter (mm).
Changes in arches parameters1 year post debond of orthodontic fixed appliancesIntra arch changes will be measure based on intermolar width, intercanine width, arch length, overbite and overjet. This will be measured in millimeter (mm).
Impact of retainers on Oral Health Related Quality of Life1 year post debond of orthodontic fixed appliancesPatients perception towards retainer will be measured using an Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHIP) questionnaire. Patients will be assessed on how often they experienced the problems mentioned in the questionnaire throughout the time they use the retainers. The scale will be recorded as very often, quite often, sometimes, never, don't know.
