About this trial

study will be directed to evaluate silver-hydroxyapatite nano-coated versus uncoated orthodontic miniscrews for en masse retraction of the upper anterior segment.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Class I orthodontic cases with bimaxillary protrusion of the anterior segment of the upper jaw that need at least extraction for orthodontic treatment.

Age 14-20 years.

Good oral hygiene with healthy periodontium.

Need for an absolute skeletal anchorage.

Disqualifiers

Patient with craniofacial anomalies (e.g, cleft lip and palate)

Presence of systemic diseases or syndromes affecting bone metabolism (e.g, osteoporosis, rickets)

Poor oral hygiene or uncooperative patients.

Extensive dental caries or untreated periodontal disease.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Silver nanoparticles

    Device

    Patients will receive silver-hydroxyapatite nanocoated titanium miniscrews.These miniscrews will be placed in the maxillary bone for en masse retractonof the upper anterior teeth.

  • uncoated titanium miniscrews

    Device

    Patients will receive conventional uncoated titanium miniscrews of the same dimensions and design as the intervention of the group1, but without nano-coating.

Treatment groups

14 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: silver-hydroxyapatite nanocoated titanium miniscrewsExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: uncoated titanium miniscrewsActive comparator 1 intervention
