NCT ID NCT07294378

First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 10, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study looked at 44 people aged 18-28 with a single upper canine tooth stuck in the roof of the mouth. Researchers compared the usual method of pulling the tooth into place with a newer technique that involves a small surgical cut (corticotomy) to speed things up. They measured changes in tooth position, like midline shift and rotation of nearby teeth, to see if one method caused fewer side effects.
