Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Twenty patients who required maxillary premolar extractions as part of their orthodontic treatment were randomly separated into two groups of 10: no-force group and force group. Using a split-mouth procedure, each patient's maxillary first premolar teeth were randomly assigned as either vibration or control side in both groups. Buccally directed vibration of 113 Hz, using an Oral-B HummingBird device with a modified tip, was applied to the maxillary first premolar for 10 mins/day during 12 weeks. After the force application period, the maxillary first premolars were extracted and scanned with micro-computed tomography. Fiji(ImageJ) which made slice-by-slice quantitative volumetric measurements was used for resorption crater calculation. Total crater volumes was compared with Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney U tests.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Ethics approval was obtained from the Ethics Committee of Bulent Ecevit University (2012/23). All subjects and their guardians consented to participate in this study after receiving verbal and written explanations.
Impressions were taken with alginate of the maxillary jaw only to construct the appliance. The study model was obtained by pouring hard plaster. On this model, the transpalatal arch was formed by bending a 0.09 mm steel wire between the maxillary right and left first molar teeth. To prevent potential contact of the teeth during buccal movement to the transpalatal arch, occlusion rising acrylic plates were added. The acrylic plates were of mean 2mm thickness to only include occlusion of the first molar teeth. After fitting the transpalatal arches in the mouth, light-cured glass ionomer cement (TransbondTM Plus, 3M Unitek, Monrovia, USA) was applied to the maxillary first molar teeth of all the patients. After these procedures, the patients were randomly separated into 2 equal groups. Randomization was made using the Excel program (Microsoft, Redmond, WA, USA), and allocation was hidden in consecutively numbered, closed envelopes. Blinding was used for treatment and outcome assessments.
No-force group: The right and left side first premolar teeth were randomly assigned (split-mouth design) so that mechanical vibration was applied in the buccal direction on one side and the other side was used as the premolar tooth control group. Oral B Hummingbird device (Procter\&Gamble, USA) with a modified tip was used for the application of vibration. The tip was positioned mid-buccally of teeth to perform buccally directed vibration. HummingBird is prescribed maximum period 0.00885s corresponding to 6800RPM or 113Hz of the motor. The vibration procedure was applied for 10mins/day during the period of 12 weeks. At the end of the 12th week, the first stage was completed and the first premolar teeth were extracted.
Force group: The right and left side first premolar teeth were randomly assigned (split-mouth design) so that mechanical vibration was applied in the buccal direction to one side and the other side was used as the premolar tooth control group. As in no-force group, same device procedure was used for the application of vibration. Self-ligating Speed (Strite Industries, Cambridge, Ontario, Canada) tubes and brackets with 0.022×0.026 inch slots were bonded to the buccal surfaces of the right and left first molar teeth and first premolar teeth.150g of buccally directed forces, producing by a 0.017×0.025-in beta-titanium-molybdenum alloy (3M Unitek, Monrovia, Calif) cantilever spring, were applied to premolar teeth on both side. The force magnitude was measured with a strain gauge (Dentaurum). At the end of the 12th week, the first stage was completed and the first premolar teeth were extracted.
The premolar teeth were extracted under local anesthesia by the same dental practitioner in all cases. To remove blood and tissue remnants from the teeth after extraction, they were washed with non-pressurized isotonic solution without touching the root surfaces, then each tooth was placed in a 5 ml sterile tube containing 10% formalin solution (Sarstedt Ag \& Co., Nümbrecht, Germany). After 2 weeks the formalin solution was changed and no other procedure was applied until examination of the roots.
Scanning of the root surfaces was applied using the SkyScan-1172 x-ray micro-tomography device (SkyScan, Aartselaar, Belgium). To calculate the volume of the resorption craters isolated on the axial slices, open-source Fiji (ImageJ) software was used. Using the convex hull module in the software, a line was drawn joining the edges of the resorption craters and the area below the line was calculated as the volume (Figure 4). Volumetric changes in the craters on the root surfaces were evaluated both locally and totally.
The data were statistically analyzed using SPSS version 24.0(IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to test for normal distribution. Wilcoxon test was applied to the within-group comparisons of the resorption volumes formed at different levels(cervical, mid, apical) on different surfaces of the root(buccal, palatal, mesial, and distal). The Mann-Whitney U-test was used in comparisons between the groups.

HummingBird is prescribed maximum period 0.00885s corresponding to 6800RPM or 113Hz of the motor. The vibration procedure was applied for 10mins/day during the period of 12 weeks. At the end of the 12th week, the first stage was completed and the first premolar teeth were extracted.
