NCT ID NCT07269951
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 95 patients' cone-beam CT scans to measure bone thickness in the infrazygomatic crest, a common site for placing tiny screws (miniscrews) used in orthodontic treatment. The goal was to find the best angle and screw size to avoid damaging nearby tooth roots. The results provide a practical guide for orthodontists to improve safety and precision.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could give orthodontists a clear guide for placing miniscrews more safely and effectively.
What could go wrong
This is a small, retrospective study using existing scans, so results may not apply to all patients or guarantee safety in real procedures.
