Comparison of the movement of the upper canine and molar using class II elastics with and without Sliding Jig
a randomized clinical trial
Introduction: For the achievement of a cuspid Class I relationship, intermaxillary class II elastics have been used. They generate retraction in the upper arch and protraction on the lower arch. The Sliding Jig is a direct attachment, which exerts distal force on the molar, enhancing the horizontal vector of intermaxillary elastic.
Objective: to determinate in a period of three months, the type and amount of movement of the upper canine and molar in the sagittal and vertical plane using class II elastics with and without Sliding Jig.
Method: an uncontrolled randomized clinical trial was conducted to compare 15 hemiarches treated with Sliding Jig and 14 treated with class II elastics alone. The movements of each side were evaluated by a calibrated evaluator, using an initial Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) (T1) and a final CBCT (T2), taking three months after the mechanical was installed.
Results: Variables were summarized using the mean and standard deviations with a 95 % confidence interval. For T1 and T2 comparison, a t-Student test was used. The upper molar distalization was greater and the vertical movement of the upper canine was lesser using the Sliding Jig than the only elastics side, with statistically significant differences (p<0,05); non-significant changes in sagittal and vertical movements of the canine or molar inclination were found.
Conclusions: the Sliding Jig was more efficient than class II elastics alone, on the distalization of upper molars and the control of the canine extrusion.
