Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The overall duration of canine retraction. Canine retraction is defined as, the space between the distal surface (connector) of the canine and medial surface of the 2nd premolars (upper and lower) for both the right and left sides before starting retraction(T0) and after 14 days (T1), 30 days (T2)and 60 days(T3) with the use of inLab CAM 15.0 software after scanning the casts with CEREC Omnicam scanner [12 months] | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level. 2. CBC parameters. 3. Levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 4. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 5. Gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) 6. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) 7. Blood Urea 8. Creatinine 9. Serum Sodium (Na) 10. Serum Potassium (K) 11. Serum Calcium (Ca) 12. Serum Total protein (TP) 13. Albumin (Alb) 14. Bone Density Area. The area distal to maxillary left and right canines will be selected as the target area. Before measuring the bone densities around the teeth, the whole CBCT images will be resliced to obtain new slices that will perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the teeth by using the “reslice” function. The bone density distal to the canines will be assessed at intermediate level (between the cervical and apical levels). Hounsfield units (HU) of bone tissue will be used in assessing radiographic bone density under identical dental CBCT scan settings; this method can be used to analyze changes in bone density around a tooth position before and after orthodontic treatment (Pauwels et al, 2017). 15. Root resorption will be evaluated by volumetric measurement (Baysal et al, 2012). Volume renderings will be reconstructed, and the volumetric images will be manipulated to display the root surfaces from various orientations. On these 3D images, the canines will be conservatively segmented. After segmentation, teeth will be separated from the other teeth and adjusted for 3D orientations. Incisor edge oriented parallel to the floor. Root will be isolated and color coded. The volume of each root will be calculated using the Mimic software program. The root volume loss will be calculated as the difference between the pre-treatment and post-retraction root volumes. [12 months] | — |
