Brief summary

The aim of this study is to the evaluate the stability of the amount of healthy tooth structure exposed after laser versus conventional technique of fiberotomy during orthodontic extrusion.

Detailed description

Parallel groups, two arm, superiority Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial, with 1:1 allocation. PICO: Population: patients with endodontically treated teeth and short clinical crown that require crown lengthening in the esthetic zone Intervention: laser fiberotomy with orthodontic extrusion Control: conventional fiberotomy using blade with orthodontic extrusion Outcomes: Primary outcome: Stability of the mount of healthy tooth structure exposed. Secondary outcomes: * Stability of gingival Margin reference. * Stability of the alveolar bone. * Rate of tooth extrusion. * Sulcus depth. * Pain Time: 8 weeks after retention

Interventions

PROCEDUREconventional circumferential supracrestal fiberotomy

The amount of tooth that need to be extruded will be measured Bonding brackets slot 0,022x0.028 Roth prescription on piggyback for the tooth with (0.016. x 0.022 ) stainless steel main arch wire and 0.0014 nickel titanium auxiliary. • Fiberotomy After 2 days of bonding, local anaesthetic solution will be administrated. The depth of the fibrotomy should be equal to the amount of tooth that need to be extruded. supracrustal fibrotomy will be performed using 15 c blade (Carvalho, Bauer et al. 2006)

PROCEDURElaser circumferential supracrestal fiberotomy

* The amount of tooth that need to be extruded will be measured * Bonding brackets slot 0,022x0.028 Roth prescription * piggyback for the tooth with (0.016. x 0.022 ) stainless steel main arch wire and 0.0014 nickel titanium auxiliary. • Fiberotomy * After 2 days of bonding, local anaesthetic solution will be administrated. * The depth of the fibrotomy should be equal to the amount of tooth that need to be extruded. * A diode laser of 980 nm wavelength will be used The laser tip will be inserted, and incision will be extended around tooth circumference with the system configured to a continuous wave with the movement of the laser tip in an up and down stroking movement The laser tip will be moved in a circumferential manner taking care that all the fibers are lysed.

Inclusion criteria

* Age between 18 and 50 years old * Teeth in the esthetic zone * Restorable teeth with successful endodontic treatment * Adjacent teeth with clinical attachment of at least two-thirds of the root length, thus permitting adequate support for orthodontic movement * Crown root ratio after extrusion of the needed ferrule amount not less than 1:1

Exclusion criteria

* Patients with bad oral hygiene or Periodontally affected teeth * Uncontrolled diabetic patients * Pregnant females * Medications that could affect tooth movement (bisphosphonate) radiation therapy less than 2 years * Moderate-to-heavy daily smokers (who report consuming at least 11 cigarettes/day) * Teeth with periapical inflammation, ankylosis or vertical root fracture * Teeth with probability of furcation exposure after extrusion. * The level of the root is 3 mm or more apical to the level of the bone

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Stability of amount of healthy tooth structure exposed8 weeks after retention.Amount of healthy tooth structure exposed: This is measured from the 6 guide marks in the acrylic stent around the extruded teeth to the healthy tooth structure using UNC periodontal probe in millimeters.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Stability of gingival Margin8 weeks after retention.This is measured from the 6 guide marks in the acrylic stent around the extruded teeth to the gingival margin using UNC periodontal probe in millimeters.
Stability of the alveolar bone8 weeks after retention.This is measured from the 6 guide marks in the acrylic stent around the extruded teeth to the top of the alveolar crest using UNC periodontal probe in millimeters. This is done after administration of local anesthesia by infiltration around the tooth
Rate of tooth extrusion8 weeks after retention.This is measured by calculating the average tooth extrusion per week by dividing the amount of healthy tooth structure exposed on the number of weeks.
Sulcus depth8 weeks after retention.The distance from gingival margin to the base of the sulcus in millimetres.
Post operative pain8 weeks after retention.VAS scale
