About this study

Official title: Study of the Efficacy of Skeletal Anchorage (MINISCREW) Compared to Dental Anchorage During Orthodontic Treatment

The main objective of the investigators' study is to assess the efficacy of a course of treatment using skeletal anchorage (MINISCREW) as compared with treatment involving dental anchorage (reference) during dentofacial orthopedic treatment.

Read the detailed description

Multicenter prospective study on patients aged between 12 and 50 years, requiring orthodontic treatment with premolar extractions and closure of the extraction spaces by distalization of the 6 anterior teeth. In the experimental group (50 patients) distalization will be performed using skeletal anchorage (MINISCREW). In the control group (50 patients), distalization will be by dental anchorage.

The main evaluation criterion will be extraction space closure after 8 months of treatment. Angle class I cuspid and the parallelism of the dental axes will also be taken into account. Evaluations will be made by very precise radiological analysis using 3D CT-scan. Examinations will be done before and after closure of the extraction sites and will assess treatment efficacy using skeletal anchorage versus dental anchorage. Patients will also be requested to complete a satisfaction questionnaire. The study will comprise an inclusion appointment during which patient consent will be obtained and a regular monthly appointment during the 8 months of active treatment and space closure.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. We measure space extraction close after 8 months treatment. Angle class I cuspid and the parallelism of the dental axes will also be taken into account.

    Measured: 8 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. MINISCREW stability

    Measured: 8 months

  2. Anchorage teeth stability

    Measured: 8 months

  3. Success and Failure implantation percentage

    Measured: 8 months

  4. MINISCREW surgery difficulty

    Measured: during the surgery act

  5. Patient satisfaction

    Measured: at 1 month and at 8 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Skeletal anchorage (MINISCREW) and dental anchorage in people with Tooth Extraction Status Nos, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Nov 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

We measure space extraction close after 8 months treatment. Angle class I cuspid and the parallelism of the dental axes will also be taken into account. (time frame: 8 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Nov 2025.
