Effect of customized vibratory device on orthodontic tooth movement: A prospective randomized control trial

The primary purpose of the present trial was to evaluate the effect of low-frequency (30Hz) vibrations on the rate of canine retraction.Single-center, split mouth prospective randomized controlled clinical trial.100 screened subjects (aged18-25 years) were selected; out of which 30 subjects having Class I bimaxillary protrusion or Class II div 1 malocclusion, requiring upper 1Independent "t" test.There was no statistically significant differencein the rate of individual canine retraction among the experimental and control groups when the intergroup comparison was done using independent "t" test at T1-T0, (The low-frequency vibratory stimulation of 30 Hz using a customized vibratory device did not significantly accelerate the rate of orthodontic tooth movement.Registered at ctri.nic.in (CTRI/2019/05/019043).
