Abstract :
Background & Objectives: Self–ligating ackets are becoming common in the marketplace with many
manufacturers offering diffrent forms. Various studies have evaluated the frictional characteristics of self
ligating ackets with only few studies actually evaluating their treatment quality. This study compares effectiveness and
efficiency of three contemporary self ligating acket systems (Smart Clip, In–Ovation, Damon 2).
Methods: This was a prospective in–vivo study in which a total of 24 patients were randomly divided into 3 groups
treated with Smart Clip, In–Ovation, and Damon 2 acket systems. The total treatment time and the number of appointments required to complete the treatment were recorded. As a measure of quality of treatment, the ABO scores
were measured at the end of treatment.
Results: The average time for the completion of treatment in Smart Clip, In–Ovation, and Damon 2 group was 15.6 +
2.7, 16.2 + 3.5, and 17.0 + 3.5 months respectively. The total number of appointments required for the completion
of treatment in Smart Clip, In–Ovation, and Damon 2 group were 16.7 + 2.5, 17.5 v 3.2, and 19.3 + 2.7 respectively.
The mean ABO score in Smart Clip, In–Ovation, and Damon 2 group were 24.1 + 1.3, 26.5 + 2.6, and 25.6 + 1.9
respectively.
Conclusion: There was no statistically significant difference in the treatment time, number of appointments and quality
of treatment outcome between the three acket systems.
