U.S., July 8 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07052747) titled 'Periodontal Effects of Orthodontic Mini-Screws' on June 29.
Brief Summary: Orthodontic mini-screws (TADs) are commonly used to provide temporary anchorage and prevent unwanted tooth movement during orthodontic treatment. Their clinical success largely depends on their ability to remain stable under functional orthodontic loads. Stability is assessed in two phases: primary stability, which reflects immediate mechanical retention in bone, and secondary stability, which results from biological remodeling and healing over time. Multiple factors such as age, gender, bone characteristics, screw dimensions, and force magnitude may influence...
