Purpose: This split-mouth trial was designed to assess how Micro-OsteoPerforation (MOP) affected maxillary molar distalization. Material and Methods: This study included sixteen patients with bilateral Class II molar relationship requiring non extraction treatment with bilateral maxillary molar distalization. In the study, a split-mouth design was adopted. A bone anchored pendulum appliance (BAPA) was used for distalization. MOP (the experimental group) was assigned randomly to one side of the maxillary arch, though the other side acted as a control. Three MOPs were carried out distal to the upper first and second molars just prior to starting distalization using Propel at 3, …
