Comparison of mean deviation of mini-implants from ideal position between right and left side in CBCT group and RVG group with level of significance
| Variable | CBCT group | RVG group | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Right side ( n = 10) | Left side ( n = 10) | Significance ( p value) | Right side ( n = 10) | Left side ( n = 10) | Significance ( p value) | |
| Mean DMH (in mm) | 0.091 | 0.106 | 0.939 | 0.768 | 0.362 | 0.226 |
| Mean DMEP (in mm) | 0.361 | 0.422 | 0.662 | 0.57 | 0.733 | 0.702 |
| Mean DMT (in mm) | 0.756 | 0.079 | 0.256 | 0.815 | 1.261 | 0.111 |
| Mean DMA (in degrees) | 4.6 | 0.2 | 0.873 | 2.8 | 5.6 | 0.563 |
DMH, deviation of height of mini-implant; DMEP, deviation of point of entry of mini-implant; DMT, deviation of tip of mini-implant; DMA, angular deviation of mini-implant from the ideal path.
