Objective: To compare the stability of splinted and non-splinted miniscrew between monocortical and bicortical anchorage techniques.Methods: Thirty-Six AbsoAnchor orthodontic miniscrews (10mm x 1.5mm) were divided into four groups; nonsplinted monocortical, non-splinted bicortical, splinted monocortical and splinted bicortical anchorage techniques. The miniscrews were inserted into sectioned bovine bone blocks and the pull-out strength for each group of miniscrews was measured using Instron 8874; a crosshead speed of 2mm/minute was applied. Six readings were taken for each group and the mean reading for each group was obtained. The data was analyzed using one-way ANOVA test with 95% confidence interval (P<0.05). Results:The pull-out strength mean of splinted group was observed to be statistically higher than non-splinted. The mean of the pull-out strength of bicortical was higher than monocortical in both splinted and non-splinted groups, however it is not significant. Conclusion:Both splinted monocortical and bicortical anchorage miniscrews were significantly stable than nonsplinted counterpart. However, in monocortical and bicortical anchorage, there was no significant difference of the pullout strength between splinted and non-splinted miniscrews.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
