Effects Of Micro-Osteoperforations On Maxillary Molar Distalization Using Miniscrew Anchored Pendulum Appliance: A Split-Mouth Randomized Controlled Trial, Mohammed M. Ellaithy, Mohamed Ali Farag, Safa B. Alawy
Al-Azhar Journal of Dentistry
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, …

Purpose: To evaluate and compare the effect of CAD/CAM, thermoplastic, and conventional denture bases on denture retention, bone height, and density in implant-supported mandibular overdentures. Materials and Methods: Eighteen completely edentulous patients were selected, and for each patient, two implants were installed at the canine area of the mandible. After the osseointegration period, abutments were installed over the implants, and the patients were divided into three groups. Group I: Six patients received maxillary and mandibular heat-cured acrylic resin dentures. Group II: Six patients received maxillary heat-cured acrylic resin dentures and mandibular dentures with a thermoplastic denture base. Group III: …
