Three dimensional movement analysis of maxillary impacted canine using TADs: a pilot study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of the present study was to compare two different anchorage systems efficiency to disinclude impacted maxillary canines using as evaluation tool superimposed Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCTs).

Methods

The study has been conducted with two parallel groups with an allocation ratio of 1:1. Group test received treatment using as anchorage a miniscrew, control group was treated using an anchorage unit a trans palatal arch (TPA). Both groups received a calibrated traction force of 50 g. CBCT before treatment and 3 months after traction were superimposed and canine tip and root movement were evaluated in mm/month ratio.

Results

No differences were observed between groups for apex displacement, tip displacement and observation timespan. Twenty-two patie
