Efficiency of Microosteoperforation for Accelerating Posterior Segment Intrusion in Skeletal Open Bite Cases
Sponsor: Ain Shams University
Summary
This clinical trial aimed to assess the efficiency of micro-osteoperforation for accelerating posterior intrusion in open bite cases. A human sample of thirty subjects was divided into two groups ; Group I (MOP), posterior intrusion with micro-osteoperforation (MOP) and group II (Control), same intrusion protocol without micro-osteoperforation.

Conditions
Interventions
Micro-osteoperforation
Patients were subjected to micro-osteoperforations using Prope Excellerator MOP device. Three perforations were performed in a linear pattern at the buccal side, mesial and distal to the roots of maxillary posterior segment bilaterally immediately before intrusive force application.
Conventional posterior segment intrusion
Patients were treated with posterior segment intrusion using posterior acrylic splint. Miniscrew implants were placed bilaterally at the zygomatic buttress and palatal to maxillary first molar. Intrusion force was applied using closed coil springs from hooks at the splints to the heads of the implants for anchorage.
