Ms.<\/strong> Samia Abdulmajid Ali Dawood <\/strong>was awarded a Master’s degree in the major of Orthodontics for her thesis titled, “Evaluation of Intrusion Effects of Mini-screws for Treatment of Gummy Smile Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography<\/strong>,” which was submitted to the Department of Orthodontics, Paediatric, and Preventive Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry- Sana\u2019a University. The defense was held on Thursday, October 23, 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The study aimed to:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Evaluate the effect of Mini-screws for the treatment of a gummy smile.<\/li>\n
  • Analyze skeletal and dental changes, deep bite correction, gingival smile reduction, intrusion rate, and external apical root resorption.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

     <\/p>\n

    The main findings<\/strong> of the study included:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • The use of mini-screws allows for the successful correction of both the gummy smile and deep bite.<\/li>\n
    • Significant retraction<\/strong> of the maxillary incisors was observed by 1.32 \u00b1 0.34 mm relative to the Vertical Alar Plane<\/strong> (p<0.05).<\/li>\n
    • Root resorption was noted to be higher in the quadrants (lateral segments)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

       <\/p>\n

      The study<\/strong> concluded with several key recommendations<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • This method provides favorable results when patients require avoidance of posterior anchorage for the treatment of deep bite and gummy smile cases.<\/li>\n
      • Use Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) for accurate treatment planning in complex gummy smile cases.<\/li>\n
      • Closely monitor the occurrence of external apical root resorption.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

         <\/p>\n

        The study <\/strong>was examined and recommended by the MA Viva-Voce Committee for acceptance<\/strong> and approval<\/strong>. The defense was attended by a number of academics, researchers, students, and interested individuals, in addition to the candidate\u2019s colleagues and family members.<\/p>\n
