apical root resorption, stainless steel boot loop, TMA boot loopAbstract
External apical root resorption (EARR) is probably the most common iatrogenic sequel of orthodontic treatment. The present case series focuses on the incisor retraction using frictionless mechanics. Boot loop made up of .019x.025 Stainless steel or TMA archwire were used for maxillary incisor retraction. Retraction with stainless steel boot loop showed greater root resorption as compared to TMA boot loop.
