20 finished cases treated for class I bimaxillary protrusion were selected for the study. The sample was divided into two sub groups of 10 cases each:Cases treated with brackets having ROTH prescription (Group A) Cases treated with MBT bracket system (Group B)
The study was single blinded , where the operator did not know the sample division. www.indiandentalacademy.com
The whole sample of 20 cases was evaluated using the ABO grading system to determine the degree of improvement and the quality of results.
The results were compared to the master chart , and the respective groups were co-related to analyze the degree of improvement in each Group.
