Miniscrew Stability and Peri-implant Inflammation When Precoated K21 vs Ethanol Control
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
To determine if coating miniscrews with K21 would increase the success rate of orthodontic miniscrews by reducing adjacent tissue inflammation.

Detailed Description
The study design is a split mouth study where 2 miniscrews, one pretreated with K21 the other pretreated (experimental) with ethanol (placebo) are placed in the mouth for orthodontic therapy. All participants will receive 2 or more orthodontic miniscrews with equal numbers of experimental and control pretreatment solutions. Mobility will be assessed at the 4 and 8 week follow up appointments by gentle manipulation with cotton pliers. Clinical success will be defined as maintenance of stability for a period of 8 weeks. Peri-implant inflammation will be assessed at follow up appointments by looking for signs of soft-tissue inflammation (redness, swelling) where possible.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: K21 Cavity cleanser-coated TAD A TAD to be placed is coated with K21 solution. The solution is allowed to evaporate to dryness, leaving a K21-rich film. The TAD is placed following the University TAD placement protocol. |
Device: K21 Cavity cleanser
K21 Cavity cleanser is rinsed over the TAD and allowed to dry. The TAD is placed where needed for orthodontic therapy following the Department of Orthodontics protocols.
|
Placebo Comparator: Ethanol Control A TAD to be placed is coated with ethanol solution. The solution is allowed to evaporate to dryness (no residue is expected). The TAD is placed following the University TAD placement protocol. |
Device: Ethanol control
Ethanol is rinsed over the TAD and allowed to dry. The TAD is placed where needed for orthodontic therapy following the Department of Orthodontics protocols.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- TAD motility [8 weeks]
The motility of a TAD is evaluated by gentle manipulation with cotton pliers. Clinical failures will be defined as a mobility greater than or equal to 1mm. Clinical success will be defined as maintenance of stability for a period of 8 weeks.
- Peri-implant inflammation [8 weeks]
Inspection for signs of soft-tissue inflammation (redness, swelling) immediately around the TAD. The Loe-Silness Index scale will be used to assess any inflammation.
Eligibility Criteria

Exclusion Criteria:
-
Recent or ongoing use of antiresorptive pharmacological agents contraindicating the use of orthodontic miniscrews

Less than 12 years of age
-
Heavy tobacco use (>10 cigarettes/day)
-
Peri-implant tissues must be observable at follow-up appointments
-
Being unable or unwilling to consent to the study
