Study summary

One of the main goals of orthodontic treatment is the reduction of treatment time through faster tooth movement. The previous studies evaluating platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) are limited, which makes the results difficult to generalize.

Read the detailed description

One of the main goals of orthodontic treatment is the reduction of treatment time through faster tooth movement. The previous studies evaluating platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) are limited, which makes the results difficult to generalize. To this end, we set up this Randomized experiment to evaluate the effect of the injectable form of PRF (i-PRF) on OTM, using nonadditive containing i-PRF, which has higher levels of regenerative cells and growth factors compared with other PRF types because of the use of low centrifugation spee. Accordingly, we aimed to evaluate the effect of i-PRF on the rate of maxillary incisors leveling during comprehensive orthodontic treatment.

Inclusion criteria

  • The patient's age (18-26). Severe or very severe irregularity of the upper incisors greater than (7 mm) according to Little's index, so it is recommended to extract the upper first premolar.

    • Class I or Class II malocclusion, first model according to Angle, with skeletal class I or II and a normal or mild vertical growth pattern.
    • All permanent upper teeth, up to the first molar, are present, with the possibility of attaching brackets to all teeth in a correct position.
    • The patient has good oral health.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

    • The presence of any systemic disease that affects orthodontic dental movement.

      • Severe malalignment of one of the teeth (palatal quadrant, ectopic canine, ectopic premolar).
      • The patient has undergone previous orthodontic treatment.
      • The patient is subject to any drug treatment that may affect orthodontic dental movement (cortisone, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).
      • The patient has poor oral health.
      • Commitment to periodic follow-up appointments.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Leveling and alignment maxillary incisors

    \- Alginate impressions were taken at insertion of the first archwire (0.014-in nickel-titanium) maxillary incisors Leveling and alignment. Leveling and alignment were achieved through the following sequence of archwires: 0.014-in nickel-titanium (NiTi), 0.016 × 0.022-in NiTi, 0.017 × 0.025-in NiTi, 0.019 × 0.025-in stainless steel (SS)(3).

    Time frame: One month ,two month,six month

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 17, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
