Official Title: A Randomized Clinical Trial to Evaluate Labial Alveolar Bone Thickness and Apical Root Resorption Between Two Kinds of Brackets Using CBCT
Brief Summary:
Labial alveolar bone thickness and apical root resorption changes associated with self-ligating versus conventional brackets.
The aim of this study will be to compare labial alveolar bone thickness and apical root resorption changes associated with self-ligating versus conventional brackets.
Detailed Summary:
Labial alveolar bone thickness and apical root resorption changes associated with self-ligating versus conventional brackets.
Protocol submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements of Master Degree in Orthodontics.
The initial stage of treatment crowding permanent teeth orthodontically is worried about teeth leveling and alignment. The accuracy of this procedure depends on various variables.
Friction is generated upon the materialistic composition of different bracket and archwire types, and the technique of ligature between them.
Several self-ligating brackets have been grown since 1935. Self-ligation doesn't need for an elastomeric attachment to catch the archwire, so it is related with a highly reduced friction with many different types of archwires, therefore less force required.
It is valuable to evaluate any appliance system for its capability to align teeth with minimal injurious effects to the oral tissues.
The aim of this study will be to compare labial alveolar bone thickness and apical root resorption changes associated with self-ligating versus conventional brackets.
