Abstract Background This study aimed to assess the effect of Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) on sagittal, transverse and vertical Orthodontic miniscrew displacement. Materials and methods The study included CBCTs from the records of 12 adult patients who underwent upper first premolar extraction and canine retraction with orthodontic miniscrews for maximum anchorage. The miniscrews on one side received LLL, while the other side served as a control. The Low-Level Laser was applied to assess its effect on the displacement of the miniscrews. The used CBCTs have been taken at two-time points: immediately after miniscrew insertion (T0) and four months after the start of canine retraction (T1) with a total of 24 CBCTs. Miniscrew displacement was assessed by measuring head (HMS) and tail (TMS) displacement to the axial, coronal and mid-sagittal planes on the CBCT at the two time points. Miniscrews displacement (T1-T0) was compared between LLL side and control side. Comparisons were performed using paired samples t-test. The significance level was set at p-value |
