Success Rate of the Miniscrews in the Mandibular Buccal Shelf
Class III Malocclusion
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Class III Malocclusion focused on measuring miniscrew, orthodontics, skeletal anchorage
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- generally healthy Caucasians
- mild Class III maloclussion that required an absolute anchorage for en-masse distalization in the mandible
- hypodivergent or normal angle between the maxillary and mandibular planes
- excellent oral hygiene
Exclusion Criteria:
- Hyperdivergent angle between the maxillary and mandibular planes
- unfavorable anatomical conditions - e.g. presence of a strong frenulum potentially irritating the miniscrew head during chewing and/or facial movement

SH2018-10 miniscrew side
SH1514-08 miniscrew side
We designed our project as a split-mouth study, therefore each patient received both SH2018-10 and SH1514-08 miniscrews, randomly assigned to either left or right side. To do so, our nurse divided both miniscrew types into two halves and assigned symbols appropriate for blinding the intervention. Thus, two combinations of miniscrew sets aroused: 1. SH1514-08R and SH2018-10L or 2. SH1514-08L and SH2018-10R, which were placed separately in opaque packages marked consecutively from "1" to "100" and stored on the tray with dividers. One hundred cards, labeled accordingly, were placed in an envelope, from which the nurse blindly pulled the card just before the miniscrew insertion, this way assigning the set number to every patient. Thus both: the placement side and the screw size were random for clinician.
