Abstract:

Background and aim: The aim of current systematic review and meta-analysis study was evaluate the clinical effectiveness of Micro-Implant in Orthodontic Treatment among Class I or II Malocclusion Patients. Methods: From the electronic databases, PubMed, Scopus, LILACS, Web of Science, EBSCO, LIVIVO, and Embase have been used to perform a systematic literature over the last ten years between 2011 and September 2021. Mean differences with 95% confidence interval (CI), fixed effect model with Inverse-variance method were calculated. The Meta analysis have been evaluated with the statistical software Stata/MP v.16 (The fastest version of Stata). Results: 452 studies were selected to review the abstracts, the full text of 48 studies was reviewed. Finally, seven studies were selected. The mean difference of molar mesiodistal and mesiodistal incisor movement was -0.53 mm and -0.65 mm; (MD, -0.53 95 % CI -0.69, -0.38. P= 0.00) and (MD, -0.65 95 % CI -0.94, -0.37; P= 0.00), respectively. Conclusions: Micro-Implant in Orthodontic Treatment among Class I or II Malocclusion Patients is more effective than the conventional anchorage devices.
