Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome for this study will be any change in the mesiodistal width of the edentulous space. To measure the mesiodistal width of the edentulous space, the distance between the midpoint of the marginal ridges of the adjacent dental crowns to the extraction space will be determined. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcomes will be changes in intermolar width, rotation of the first permanent molar adjacent to the edentulous site, mean cementation failures. The intermolar width will be determined by measuring the linear distance between the tip of the mesiobuccal cusp of the second deciduous molars or right and left first permanent molars. The axial rotation of the first permanent molar adjacent to the edentulous space will be determined by measuring the angle formed by two lines, both lines have their vertex at the tip of the distolingual cusp of the molar, the first line extends to the tip of the mesiolingual cusp, and the second line is drawn towards the median line. The average of cementation failures will be evaluated based on the amount of detachment of the appliances. | — |
