Article Synopsis
- - This study assessed the effectiveness of bone anchored maxillary protraction (BAMP) in treating class III skeletal malocclusion in children (ages 11-14) compared to a control group receiving no treatment, focusing on surgery necessity, dental changes, and psychological effects.
- - Conducted as a randomized controlled trial in six UK hospitals, 57 participants were divided into two groups: 28 received BAMP treatment, while 29 were in the no-treatment control group; measurements were taken at multiple points over 3 years.
- - Results showed significant improvements in skeletal and dental measures for the BAMP group at the 18-month mark, with a lower percentage of participants in this group feeling they needed surgery at the 3-year

Information to support decisions on trial participation is usually provided as printed participant information sheets (PIS), which are often long, technical, and unappealing. Multimedia information (MMI), including animations and videos, may be a valuable alternative or complement to a PIS.
