Summary

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

Detailed 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).

Conditions

• Tooth Position Anomalies

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Micro-osteoperforation	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.
