Root Resorption Following en Masse Retraction: A Prospective Assessment of Nickel-Titanium Closed-Coil Springs and Elastomeric Chains
NiTi CC springs caused significantly greater root resorption in the anterior maxillary teeth than the E-chains. Clinicians should consider these effects when selecting retraction methods to minimize EARR, especially in cases that require en masse retraction of anterior teeth.
