Abstract:
Objective
To evaluate the treatment effects of microscrew implant anchorage on Class Ⅲ malocclusion with high angle.
Methods
Totally twenty cases of Class Ⅲ high angle malocclusions were chosen and classified into two groups. The experimental group was treated with microscrew implant anchorage combining with Class Ⅲelastics while the control group was treated with Class Ⅲelastics without microscrew implant. Lateral cephalometric radiographs of pretreatment and posttreatment were detected and statistically analyzed using student t test.
Results
There were no significant changes in the distance of U6-PP as well as the angles of U6-SN, SN-MP, FH-MP and Y axis in the experimental group compared with the control group in which the changes increased.
Conclusion
It is effective to use microscrew implant anchorage with Class Ⅲelastics to control the vertical height of mandible and prevent it from rotating clockwisely.
