Protocol summary

Study aim
Evaluation of Low Level Laser Irradiation on rate of relapse of mandibular incisors after fixed orthodontic treatment by extraction
Design
Clinical trials with a control group, with parallel groups, single-blind, randomized.
Settings and conduct
The study will be conducted on patients referring to the Department of Orthodontics, School of Dentistry, Babol University of Medical Sciences, Babol, Iran, who need orthodontic treatment. Allocation to groups will be done randomly and for each treatment group, 10 samples and a total of 20 samples will be considered. Outcome evaluator of this study will be blind (single-blind).
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Age range 12 to 18 years, Average Crowding Rate (5-9 mm), similar treatment (Extraction), Good oral hygiene (index plaque and gingival index zero or one), Signature of consent form. Non-inclusion criteria: Consumption of medicine that interrupted bone metabolism, contraindication for laser therapy eg, pregnancy, Patients with systemic diseases, The teeth have more than 45 degrees rotation, Patients with gingival inflammation or periodontal problems and those with proximal caries, deep caries extending to the cemento-enamel junction.
Intervention groups
Intervention group: Patients undergoing orthodontic treatment during the dental relapse period are exposed to GaAlAs laser irradiation. The low-level laser irradiation will be performed thrice a week for 4 weeks. Control group: Orthodontic treatment alone will be done (no intervention to minimize relapse will be performed.).
Main outcome variables
Bone Density, Percentage of relapse

Primary outcomes

1

Description
Bone Density
Timepoint
Before low level laser irradiation, and 4 weeks after low level laser irradiation
Method of measurement
Periapical radiography

2

Description
The percentage of relapse
Timepoint
1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks after low level laser irradiation
Method of measurement
The percentage of relapse will be also calculated relative to the initial angle of rotation according to the following formula: the amount of relapse/ the initial degree of rotation *100

Secondary outcomes

empty

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: Patients undergoing orthodontic treatment during the dental relapse period are randomly exposed to GaAlAs laser irradiation. The laser probe will be positioned in contact with gingival tissue in the coronal third of the root, and the irradiation will be performed on 4 points around the tooth, including mesiobuccal, distobuccal, mesiolingual, and distolingual areas. The low-level laser irradiation will be performed thrice a week for 4 weeks.
