About this trial

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and accuracy of using Augmented Reality (AR) technology in the placement of mini-screws (Temporary Anchorage Devices) during orthodontic treatment. By combining CBCT images with digital dental scans and visualizing them using AR, clinicians can place mini-screws more precisely. The study is a pilot clinical trial involving patients at the Faculty of Dentistry, Al-Azhar University - Assiut Branch.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

1. Patients indicated for orthodontic mini-screw placement as part of their treatment plan.

Disqualifiers

1 . Systemic conditions affecting bone healing (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes, osteoporosis).

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

Augmented Reality
Device
Participants in this group will undergo mini-screw placement assisted by augmented reality (AR) technology. A customized AR system will guide the clinician in real-time to ensure optimal screw positioning, improve accuracy, and minimize placement errors.
Conventional screw placement
Procedure/Surgery
Participants in this group will receive mini-screw placement using the conventional freehand method without augmented reality assistance. The screws will be placed according to standard clinical protocols based on anatomical landmarks and clinician experience

Treatment groups

10 Participants
