Comparing tooth movement methods to reduce root shortening
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of moving a canine tooth into the space left by a removed premolar. One method uses a small surgical procedure to help the tooth move faster, and the researchers will check if this causes more stress on the tooth root compared to the standard method.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 12 and 30 years old.
- You need to move a canine tooth into the space left after removing an upper first premolar.
- Your bite pattern is normal (average face height).
- You have healthy gums and supporting bones around your teeth.
- You are not taking long-term medications that affect tooth movement (like NSAIDs, bisphosphonates, or anticonvulsants).
- You do not have any pre-existing root shortening or damage.

This study compares two ways of retracting the canine teeth after premolar removal to see which works faster or better. It may help us improve orthodontic treatment for people who need their upper canines pulled back.
This study compares two methods used in braces to pull your upper canine teeth (the pointy teeth next to your front teeth) back after premolars are removed. It uses special 3D X-rays to see how these methods affect the roots and the bone around your teeth.
This study compares two methods of moving teeth after removing upper premolars (teeth used for chewing). It aims to find which approach works better for correcting bite and alignment issues.
This trial compares two methods for moving your upper canine teeth back after having upper premolars removed, as part of braces treatment. It aims to find which method works better for people with crowded teeth.
This study compares two ways of moving the canine teeth back after tooth extraction during braces treatment. It aims to find which method works better and is more comfortable for patients.
This study compares two methods to speed up moving your canine teeth into their correct position after removing the premolars: a small surgical procedure (piezocision) or a natural blood concentrate treatment (injectable platelet-rich fibrin). The goal is to see which method works better for faster, safer tooth movement.
