Abstract:Background: In extraction cases, canine torque is of primary importance. Failure to maintain the root within the cancellous bone predisposes to root resorption and periodontal breakdown. Positive torque in the bracket or wire may prevent the proximity of the root and cortical bone as well as the subsequent side effects.
Objective:The aim of this study was to evaluate the torque control provided by 0.022" Roth prescription brackets during canine retraction with sliding mechanics.
Materials and methods:Twenty-on… Show more
