Miniscrew Stability and Peri-implant Inflammation When Precoated K21 vs Ethanol Control
Inflammation Caused by the Placement of a Temporary Anchorage Device
About this trial
This is an interventional prevention trial for Inflammation Caused by the Placement of a Temporary Anchorage Device focused on measuring TAD, inflammation, orthodontics
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Good general health, with no significant medical findings Requiring at least two miniscrews in their treatment plans (i.e., most participants will have two miniscrews, but some may receive four or six as indicated by their individual treatment plan) Miniscrew pairs indicated with comparable anatomical positions and comparable mechanics (direct vs. indirect anchorage). Exclusion Criteria: Recent or ongoing use of antiresorptive pharmacological agents contraindicating the use of orthodontic miniscrews Less than 12 years of age Heavy tobacco use (>10 cigarettes/day) Peri-implant tissues must be observable at follow-up appointments Being unable or unwilling to consent to the study

Placebo Comparator
K21 Cavity cleanser-coated TAD
Ethanol Control
A TAD to be placed is coated with K21 solution. The solution is allowed to evaporate to dryness, leaving a K21-rich film. The TAD is placed following the University TAD placement protocol.
A TAD to be placed is coated with ethanol solution. The solution is allowed to evaporate to dryness (no residue is expected). The TAD is placed following the University TAD placement protocol.
