Antibiotic Prophylaxis Prior to the Insertion of Orthodontic Mini-screw Implants: a Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A Early Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Amoxicillin and Placebo oral capsule for Inflammation at Mini-screw Insertion Site and Mobility, Mini-screw. Completed, enrolled 31 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators plan to use amoxicillin in capsule form, prepared by a pharmacist, for antibiotic prophylaxis to decrease the failure rate of mini-screw implants temporarily placed in the palate of patients involved in Phase II orthodontics treatments. The mini-screws will be 8 mm long 1.7 mm diameter titanium screws manufactured by Forestadent and are commercially available and currently widely used in orthodontic treatment in both private practice and educational settings. Since antibiotic prophylaxis is considered the standard of care with traditional dental implants, the investigators believe that such prophylaxis will decrease the failure rate of orthodontic mini-screw implants also.
