About

The primary aim of the present study is to evaluate the the efficacy of micro-osteoperforation (MOPs) perfomed by mini-implant (MI) screw In improving alignment of mandibular anterior teeth

Full description

Primarily the present study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of micro-osteoperation (MOPs) perfomed by mini-implant (MI) screw In improving alignment of mandibular anterior teeth. Additionally, the possibility of inducing root resorption, and patient perception of pain during the initial phase of treatment.

Subjects and Methods: Orthodontic patients aged 17-25 years old, non-extraction treatment with lower anterior crowding of 4-6 mm using Little's irregularity index. Outcome measures included the amount of crowding using Little's irregularity index (LII), apical root resorption, and pain perception. The effectiveness of alignment will be tested using t-test, while root resorption and pain perception will be tested by the Mann-Whitney U test, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test (P<0.05).

32 participants in 2 patient groups

Micro-Osteoperforation group

Experimental group

Description:

All the participants bonded by the care provider with 0.022 inch MBT prescription appliance (Ortho TechanologyTM,USA). Mini-implant facilitated micro-osteoperforation (MOPs) were placed in the experimental group before placing the initial leveling arch wire. MOPs were placed at three sites i.e., interproximally between mandibular canine and lateral incisor on both sides and between central incisors in the midline on labial aspect of mandible.

Treatment:

Procedure: Micro-osteoperforation

Control group

No Intervention group

Description:

All the participants in this group bonded by the principal investigator with 0.022-inch slot MBT prescription appliance (Ortho TechanologyTM,USA). No micro-osteoperforation was used in this group.
