Registered outcomes8
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Change in Maxillary First Molar Distalization | Baseline (before treatment) and completion of the distalization phase (mean 6.5 months after baseline). | The amount of distal movement of the maxillary first molars (U6) was assessed using digital dental models obtained before treatment (T0) and after completion of the distalization phase (T1). The change in molar position was measured in millimeters and compared among the miniscrew, orthodontic button, lingual arch, and control groups. In the active treatment groups, laser-treated and non-laser-treated sides were also compared according to the split-mouth design. |
| Secondary | Change in Maxillary Tooth Distalization | Baseline (before treatment) and completion of the distalization phase (mean 6.5 months after baseline). | The distal movement of the maxillary canine, premolars, and second molar (U3, U4, U5, and U7) was measured on digital dental models obtained at baseline (T0) and after completion of the distalization phase (T1). Changes were recorded in millimeters and compared among the miniscrew, orthodontic button, lingual arch, and control groups. In the active treatment groups, the laser-treated and non-laser-treated sides were also compared. |
| Secondary | Change in Maxillary Tooth Rotation | Baseline (before treatment) and completion of the distalization phase (mean 6.5 months after baseline). | Rotational changes of the maxillary teeth (U3-U7) were evaluated on digital dental models obtained at T0 and T1. Rotation was measured in degrees. Changes were compared among the study groups and, in the active treatment groups, between the laser-treated and non-laser-treated sides. |
| Secondary | Change in Maxillary Tooth Mesiodistal Tipping | Baseline (before treatment) and completion of the distalization phase (mean 6.5 months after baseline). | Changes in the mesiodistal angulation of the maxillary teeth (U3-U7) were assessed using digital dental models obtained at T0 and T1. Tipping changes were expressed in degrees and compared among the four study groups. Side-specific comparisons were also performed between laser-treated and non-laser-treated sides in the active treatment groups. |
| Secondary | Change in Transverse Dental Measurements | Baseline (before treatment) and completion of the distalization phase (mean 6.5 months after baseline). | Transverse positional changes of the maxillary teeth were assessed on digital dental models obtained before treatment and after the distalization phase. Changes in transverse dental measurements were recorded in millimeters and compared among the miniscrew, orthodontic button, lingual arch, and control groups. |
| Secondary | Change in Cephalometric Skeletal and Dentoalveolar Measurements | Baseline (before treatment) and completion of the distalization phase (mean 6.5 months after baseline). | Skeletal and dentoalveolar changes were evaluated using lateral cephalometric records obtained at T0 and T1. Measurements included sagittal and vertical skeletal relationships, incisor and molar positions and inclinations, and overjet and overbite. Changes were compared among the miniscrew, orthodontic button, lingual arch, and control groups. |
| Secondary | Change in Tooth Position Relative to the Third Palatal Ruga | Baseline (before treatment) and completion of the distalization phase (mean 6.5 months after baseline). | Positional changes of selected maxillary teeth relative to the third palatal ruga reference line were evaluated on digital dental models obtained at T0 and T1. Changes were measured in millimeters to assess anteroposterior tooth movement during the distalization period. |
| Secondary | Change in Soft Tissue Measurements | Baseline (before treatment) and completion of the distalization phase (mean 6.5 months after baseline). | Soft tissue changes were assessed by comparing facial soft tissue records obtained before treatment (T0) and after completion of the distalization phase (T1). Changes in the evaluated soft tissue parameters were compared among the four study groups to determine the effects associated with the different anchorage methods. |
