Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Comparison of stability between surface treated and non surface treated orthodontic miniimplantsTimepoint: Insertion torque will be measured at the time of insertion of the miniimplants,recorded at 0 sec ( 0 turns), 4 sec( 2 turns) and 8 sec( 4 turns) at the beginning of retraction, Removal torque will be measured at the time of removal of the miniimplats ,recorded at 0 sec ( 0 turn), 1 sec( 1 turn ), and 2 sec( 2 turns) after the 6 months retraction period. The histomorphometric analysis will be done once the miniimplants are removed under a Scanning electron microscope | — |
