Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the efficiency of Remaloy cuspid retraction spring as a means of canine retraction. Methods: The sample was consisted of 14 female patients with age ranged from 14 to 18 years. Canine retraction was done by Remaloy canine retraction springs. For all patients the following records were made: Photographs, Upper and lower plaster casts and Radiographs. The measurements were performed using casts and lateral cephalometric radiographs taken before and after canine retraction. The collected data were analyzed statically using t-test. Results: The upper canines were retracted significantly with Remaloy cuspid retraction spring with rate 2 ± 0.17mm/m. There was a significant difference between pre and post retraction rotation angle about 22.86 ± 2.14˚. The upper canine tipping was signi ficantly increased with Remaloy cuspid retraction spring about 6 ± 1.57˚. Conclusions: The Remaloy cuspid retraction spring is effective method for canine retraction. However, the canine tipping and rotation need to decrease by increase the antitipping and antirotation angles or decrease the force utilized.
