Overview
The goal of this clinical trials is to compare two diameters, 1.6 and 2 mm, of mini implants both are 12 mm length placed in the infrazygomatic crest region. The main questions it aims to answer are:
which diameter is more suitable for IZC region 1.6 or 2mm in terms of primary stability, secondary stability, pain perception and failure rate.
20 participant will receive 40 mini implant bilaterally (20 in one side of 1.6mm, the other side 20 of 2mm).
participants will be asked to record visual analog scale (VAS) for 3 nights monitored monthly by the investigator.
Description
Using 1.6x12mm and 2x12mm of mini implants in the IZC area and measuring primary stability, secondary stability, failure rate and pain perception.
The primary stability will be measured immediately after insertion using Easycheck device (Dentium, South Korea).
The secondary stability will be measured two months after insertion using the same device.
Failure is considered when the mini implant become loose, peri-implant inflammation or fallen after insertion, it will be checked monthly for six months.
pain perception will be recorded by patients using visual analog scale (VAS) score sheet 24 , 48, 72 hour after insertion.
Null hypothesis There is no significant difference between 1.6 and 2mm IZC mini implant diameters in terms of primary stability, secondary stability, failure rate and pain perception.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Individuals aged between 15 and 38 years.
- Patients currently undergoing orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances who require mini-implant placement in the upper buccal posterior region (IZC) for full-arch distalization or en-masse retraction.
- Patients willing and able to adhere to the study protocol.
- Recommended for the use of bilateral mini-implants.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Syndromic conditions, facial trauma, or previous bone-related surgery.
