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

This trial tests whether special coated mini-screws placed in the jaw can help move teeth and resist infection. It's for teens and young adults getting premolars removed as part of braces treatment.
This study compares two sizes of mini-implants (small bone screws) placed in the upper jaw to help move teeth back. It tests which size works better for people already in braces who need extra support for tooth movement.
This study tests a gentle, non-surgical gum treatment for people with advanced gum disease who have deep pockets around their teeth. Researchers want to see how well the treatment works and whether smoking affects healing.
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 tests two different surfaces for the part of a dental implant that connects to the crown (the abutment). It aims to see which one works better for healing and long-term health of the gums and bone around the implant.
This study tests a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment for advanced gum disease. It aims to reduce gum inflammation and pocket depth without surgery, which may help preserve your teeth.
