Miniscrew study comparing two surface coatings
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether orthodontic miniscrews with one special coating cause less gum tissue inflammation and stay stable better than miniscrews treated with ethanol. It may help improve how well miniscrews work and how healthy the tissue around them stays over follow-up visits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be in generally good health with no major medical problems
- Your orthodontic plan needs at least two miniscrews (some plans may use more)
- Your miniscrews must be placed in similar areas with similar anchorage plans (direct vs indirect)
- Do not use certain antiresorptive medicines (drugs that affect bone breakdown) that would make miniscrew treatment unsafe
- Be at least 12 years old and able/willing to consent

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two sizes of tiny screws (called miniscrews) that are sometimes used with braces to help move teeth. The screws are placed in the upper jaw to help correct an overbite where the top teeth stick out too far. The study looks at how well the screws work, how stable they are, and how they feel to patients.
This study tests a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment for advanced gum disease (periodontitis) in young adults. The goal is to reduce gum inflammation and improve gum health without surgery.
This trial tests special small screws coated with nano-material to help move upper front teeth back into place during braces treatment. The screws act as anchors to make tooth movement more effective for patients with protruding upper front teeth.
This study compares two non-surgical procedures to treat gum disease around dental implants. It aims to find which method works better to reduce infection and improve gum health, without needing surgery.
This study tests a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment for deep gum pockets caused by advanced gum disease. It aims to see how well the gums heal and how smoking might affect the healing process.
This trial looks at two ways to clean the tooth root before a common gum graft procedure. One method uses a special powder and water spray, the other uses hand tools. The goal is to see if one leads to better gum coverage.
