Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate and compare the stability of buccal shelf mini-screws using two different placement techniques: self-drilling and pre-drilling.
- A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 7 patients where screws were placed in one quadrant with each technique and their stability measured over four months using the Resonance Frequency Analysis method.
- Results showed that pre-drilling resulted in significantly higher stability for the screws than self-drilling, underscoring the importance of insertion techniques for orthodontic clinicians.
