An interventional study of flap with corticotomy and bone allograft in Posterior Cross Bite, sponsored by Cairo University. Completed at 1 site in Egypt. Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 22 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2016-04-07.
Sponsored by Cairo University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Maxillary expansion was performed for adult female patients suffering from maxillary constriction with bilateral posterior cross-bite using fixed Quad-helix appliance, for about 8 months. The appliance was delivered and activated at the day of corticotomy and bone graft. The activation was made half-molar unit each side. The patient was scheduled each month to activate the appliance or reactivate if needed. Corticotomy was performed at area of maxillary 1st premolar, 2nd premolar and first molar. Cone beam computed tomography was performed, before appliance activation and corticotomy, at the end of expansion (8 months) and after finishing orthodontic treatment (average 2.5 years from start of treatment).
Maxillary expansion was performed for adult female patients suffering from maxillary constriction with bilateral posterior cross-bite \& dental arch discrepancy average 12 mm using fixed Quad-helix appliance, for about 8 months. The appliance was delivered and activated at the day of corticotomy and bone graft (demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft). The activation was made half-molar unit each side. The patient was scheduled each month to activate the appliance or reactivate if needed. Corticotomy was performed at area of maxillary 1st premolar, 2nd premolar and first molar. Cone beam computed tomography was performed at three stages.
T1 (baseline) Before appliance activation and corticotomy. T2 At the end of expansion. (about 8 months of expansion). T3 At the finishing stage of orthodontic treatment (average 2.5 years from start of treatment).

Exclusion Criteria:
Maxillary expansion with quad helix appliance was applied to posterior teeth with cross bite. Then corticotomy surgical procedure associated with addition of commercially available bone allograft; demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft on the buccal surface of maxillary 1st premolar, 2nd premolar and 1st molar areas.
Procedure: flap with corticotomy and bone allograft
A maxillary expansion with quad helix appliance was placed on the posterior teeth with cross bite. A Luebke buccal flap was opened in the area of maxillary 1st premolar, 2nd premolar and first molar with a no. 15 scalpel. Corticotomy procedure was performed using low speed round bur size 3, holes to create a 0.5 mm deep hole penetrating the cortical bone. Multiple holes were performed leaving 1.5 mm distance in between. The defects were covered with demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft and the flap was sutured in its original position with 3-0 black silk suture.

Change in tipping angle from first follow up 8 months after expansion till second follow up 2.5 years from start of treatment after finishing orthodontic treatment. Change in tipping angle from baseline before appliance activation and corticotomy till second follow up 2.5 years from start of treatment after finishing orthodontic treatment.
Time frame: Change from baseline before surgical procedure to first follow up at 8 months. Change from first follow up at 8 months to second follow up after 2.5 years. Change from baseline to second follow up after 2.5 years.
Degree of cross bite assessed by measuring mm distance between buccal cusp of the tooth in the upper arch and buccal cusp of same tooth in lower arch.
Change in degree of cross bite from baseline before appliance activation and corticotomy till first follow up 8 months after expansion. Change in degree of cross bite from first follow up 8 months after expansion till second follow up 2.5 years from start of treatment after finishing orthodontic treatment. Change in degree of cross bite from baseline before appliance activation and corticotomy till second follow up 2.5 years from start of treatment after finishing orthodontic treatment.
Time frame: Change from baseline before surgical procedure to first follow up at 8 months. Change from first follow up at 8 months to second follow up after 2.5 years. Change from baseline to second follow up after 2.5 years.
Dehiscence score.
Dehiscence is the amount of buccal alveolar bone loss around the root surface. Dehiscence score as follows; score 0: No Dehiscence. score 1: Dehiscence in cervical third of root only. score 2: Dehiscence in cervical third and middle third of root surface only. score 3: Dehiscence in cervical third and middle third and apical third of root surface. Dehiscence is assessed at first follow up 8 months after expansion and at the second follow up 2.5 years from start of treatment after finishing orthodontic treatment.
Time frame: Assessment of the score at First follow up at 8 months and at Second follow up after 2.5 years.
Buccal bone thickness.
Assessment of the Buccal bone thickness at first follow up 8 months after expansion and at second follow up 2.5 years from start of treatment after finishing orthodontic treatment.
Time frame: First follow up at 8 months. Second follow up after 2.5 years.
