Clinical Trial: Maximum Clinical Insertion Torque and Its Association With the Success Rate of Orthodontic Miniscrews

U.S., Aug. 22 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07780149) titled 'Maximum Clinical Insertion Torque and Its Association With the Success Rate of Orthodontic Miniscrews' on March 17, 2022.

Brief Summary: Orthodontic miniscrews provide temporary skeletal anchorage but are lost prematurely in a proportion of cases despite correct placement. The insertion torque generated when a miniscrew is seated has been proposed as a marker of primary stability, but its relationship with clinical success remains uncertain and the existing evidence is limited. This prospective observational cohort study evaluated orthodontic miniscrews placed for skeletal anchorage during routine fixed orthodontic treatment at the ...
