Gomes NB, Almeida JVFPD, Neves JG, Correr AB, Correr-Sobrinho L, Costa AR. Evaluation of mechanical properties and morphology of miniscrews Ti6Al4V cold worked versus annealed in artificial bones. Int Orthod 2024; 22:100835. [PMID: 38141559 DOI: 10.1016/j.ortho.2023.100835] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Revised: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/25/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the influence of different manufacturing procedures (Eli annealed - hot work versus cold worked - cold work) of the raw material under mechanical properties and morphological characteristics of orthodontic miniscrews (MS). MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty MS were randomly separated into 3 types (n=10) according to manufacturer and manufacturing process of the raw material: type A - SIN® annealed (control group); type B - Dentfix® annealed; and, type C - Dentfix® cold worked. MI were inserted in artificial bone blocks, through the manufacturer's specific manual key attached to the digital torquemeter stabilized via custom device. Data of fracture's occurrence was performed using Fisher's exact test. Comparisons between the other two types regarding insertion torque and removal torque were performed using the Mann-Whitney test. Data of fracture torque, shear stress, normal stress and torque ratio was submitted to Kruskal Wallis and Dunn tests (α=0.05). Representative images of surface morphology and fractures were selected. RESULTS Type C showed statistically the lowest fracture torque (N.cm) (26.11±0.41) (P=0.0012) and highest torque ratio (%) (98.74±0.85) (P=0.0007). Type C showed statistically higher calculated shear (MPa) (2,432.73±508.41) and normal stress (MPa) (1,403.86±293.39) than type B and type A, showing that they differed in relation to the mechanical strength of the material with which they were made (P=0.0007). CONCLUSION Type A fractured completely inside the most apical bone. Type B and type C fractured closer to the transmucosal profile. Cold worked process should be more prone to fractures than those annealed raw manufactured.

MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:2032. [PMID: 38004081 PMCID: PMC10673481 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59112032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2023] [Revised: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023]
Abstract
Background: The risk of palatally displaced canines (PDCs) rises in patients with tooth agenesis. The orthodontic extrusion and alignment of PDCs require adequate anchorage to enable tooth movement and control the side effects. There is no paper presenting treatment in the case of severe oligodontia with simultaneous PDCs and the use of mini-implants (MIs) for their orthodontic extrusion. Case presentation: A 15-year-old patient presented with non-syndromic oligodontia and bilateral PDCs. Cone beam computed tomography revealed that both PDCs were in proximity to the upper incisors' roots. There was no evident external root resorption of the incisors. The "canines first" approach was chosen. MIs were used both as direct and indirect anchorage. First, the extrusive forces of cantilevers were directed both occlusally and distally. Next, the buccal directions of forces were implemented. Finally, fixed appliances were used. PDCs were extruded, aligned, and torqued. Proper alignment and occlusion were achieved to enable further prosthodontic restorations. Conclusions: The use of MIs made it possible to avoid collateral effects, reduce the risk of complications, and treat the patient effectively. MIs provide adequate anchorage in demanding cases. The use of MIs for the extrusion of PDCs made it possible to offer this treatment option to patients with severe oligodontia. The presented protocol was effective and served to circumvent treatment limitations associated with an inadequate amount of dental anchorage and a high risk of root resorption.

Abstract
AIM This study evaluated artificial bone models against a human bone substitute to assess the primary stability of orthodontic mini-implants (OMIs) at varying implant sites with different morphologies and qualities. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 1200 OMI placements of four types were inserted into four artificial bone models of different density (D1, D2, D3, D4) and into a human bone substitute (HB). The implants varied in diameter (2.0 and 2.3 mm) and length (9 and 11 mm). Each specimen had four implant sites: no defect, one-wall defect, three-wall defect, and circular defect. The implant stability quotient (ISQ) values were measured using resonance frequency analysis (RFA) and insertion placement torque values (IPT) were assessed for primary stability. Correlation analysis was performed to evaluate the different models. RESULTS The highest IPT value was registered for the 2.0 mm × 11 mm implant inserted into D1 with no defect (37.53 ± 3.02 Ncm). The lowest ISQ value was measured for the 2.3 mm × 9 mm OMI inserted into D3 with a circular defect (12.33 ± 5.88) and the highest for the 2.3 mm × 9 mm implant inserted into HB with no defect (63.23 ± 2.57). A strong correlation (r = 0.64) for IPT values and a very strong correlation (r = 0.8) for ISQ values was found between D2 and HB. CONCLUSION Bone defects and bone quality affected the primary stability of implants in terms of ISQ and IPT values. Results for bone model D2 correlated very well with the HB substitution material.

Abstract
Background In orthodontic procedures, mini-implants are routinely used as temporary anchorage devices. Early failure is primarily attributed to a variety of issues, which are mostly connected to the quality and geometry of the screw that lead to insufficient primary stability. Objectives To evaluate the primary stability of different sizes and brands of orthodontic mini-implants by optimizing the insertion torque value (ITV) and to clear out which one has the greatest primary stability among the most widely used mini-implants by orthodontists. Methods Eighty-two self-drilling mini-implants from three different brands with different sizes were used (Optimus Ortho System (Osteonic made in Korea), Smart anchor (GNI made in Korea) (1.4 × 6, 1.6 × 8 and 1.8 × 10mm) and Morelli (made in Brazil) (1.5 × 6, 1.5 × 8 and 1.5 × 10mm), made from (Ti 6Al 4V). All were drilled at a 60° angle on Sixty artificial bone blocks made from polyurethane foam with a digital torque meter device (Orthonia, Jeil made in Korea), pullout strength (tensile force) was measured with a universal testing machine to find out the best brand and size in the mean of primary stability. Data were analyzed using SPSS Version 25 and JMP Pro Version 16 software using the One-way ANOVA test, the Post hoc and Tukey HCD tests. Results There were significant differences between the pullout strength of different sizes for the GNI and OSTEONIC brands, while for the MORELLI brand there were no significant differences between the three different sizes considering ITV (10Ncm) whereas for ITV (20Ncm) there was a significant difference between the different sizes for the pullout of all three brands. GNI was the best brand for all the selected sizes with ITV (10Ncm) and size 1.4 × 6 for ITV (20Ncm), whereas OSTEONIC sizes 1.6 × 8 and 1.8 × 10 were the best for ITV (20Ncm) in term of primary stability. Conclusion GNI screws were demonstrated higher primary among the three widely used brands followed by OSTEONIC for size 1.6 × 8 and 1.8 × 10 while MORELLI was the least resistant to dislodgement for the two torque insertion values 10 N/cm and 20 N/cm.

The Effect of Photobiomodulation Therapy on the Stability of Orthodontic Mini-implants in Human and Animal Studies: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. J Lasers Med Sci 2023; 13:e27. [PMID: 36743132 PMCID: PMC9841378 DOI: 10.34172/jlms.2022.27] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2021] [Accepted: 04/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Introduction: The present study aimed to systematically explore available literature on the possible impact of photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy on the stability and success of orthodontic mini-implants. Methods: A comprehensive electronic search was conducted in PubMed, ISI Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane and Embase databases for human and animal studies published until July 2021. Two independent researchers reviewed the studies based on specific eligibility criteria. Results: 15 studies were included in the systematic review after a comprehensive search. Ten studies were included in the meta-analysis. Four were human RCT studies that evaluated the stability with Preriotest. Three other human RCT studies and two animal studies had evaluated the Implant stability quotient (ISQ). Two human RCTs that had evaluated displacement of mini-implants were also analyzed. The analysis of Periotest stability results showed a positive effect of PBM on mini-implant stability at 30 and 60 days after implantation (P<0.05). In human studies using the ISQ method, a slight improvement was seen in the PBM groups; however, this was not statistically significant (CI=-1.92-2.70, SMD=0.39). In studies that examined the displacement of mini-implants, no statistically significant difference was observed between irradiated and non-irradiated groups (CI=-1.92-2.70, SMD=0.03). According to the results of animal studies, which had used the ISQ method, the use of laser was statistically effective in increasing the stability of mini-implants (SMD=1.43, CI=1.00-1.85). Conclusion: PBM therapy can be suggested as an adjunctive clinical method to improve the stability of mini-implant treatment. Further well-designed clinical studies can help establish evidence-based dosing and irradiation protocols.

Abstract
Miniscrew has been used widely as an effective orthodontic anchorage with reliable stationary quality, ease of insertion and removal techniques, immediate or early loading, flexibility in site insertion, less trauma, minimal patient cooperation, and lower price. Nonetheless, it is not free of complications, and they could impact not only the miniscrew success rate but also patients’ oral health. In this article, literature was searched and reviewed electronically as well as manually to evaluate the complications of orthodontic miniscrew. The selected articles are analyzed and subcategorized into complications during and after insertion, under loading, and during and after removal along with treatment if needed according to the time. In addition, the noteworthy associated factors such as the insertion and removal procedures, characteristics of both regional and local anatomic structures, and features of the miniscrew itself that play a significant role in the performance of miniscrews are also discussed based on literature evidence. Clinicians should notice these complications and their related factors to make a proper treatment plan with better outcomes.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: The use of mini-implants has become more popular, and there has been a heightened focus on factors that contribute to their success. The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of various surface treatment methods of mini-implants on their bone cutting capacity, insertion torque required, and fracture resistance when compared with the untreated machined mini-implants. Materials and Methods: The study included 4 groups. Each group consisted of 10 orthodontic mini-implants (OMIs). The first experimental group contains titanium oxide coated mini-implants, the second group contains grit-blasted implants with aluminum oxide, the third group consists of mini-implants coated with hydroxyapatite crystals, and the control group is formed by untreated machined mini-implants. Each group is evaluated for cutting efficiency, maximum insertion torque, and fracture resistance using a customized torque testing gauge. Results: The results showed that surface treating OMIs with hydroxyapatite particles increases the surface roughness, thereby enhancing their stability without decreasing the bone cutting ability compared with OMIs without surface treatment. Conclusion: Roughened surface of OMIs with hydroxyapatite particles exhibited maximum fracture resistance without decreased corresponding bone cutting efficiency.

Abstract
Primary stability in low-density bone is crucial for the long-term success of implants. Tapered implants have shown particularly favourable properties under such conditions. The aim of this study was to compare the primary stability of tapered titanium and novel cylindrical zirconia dental implant systems in low-density bone. Fifty implants (25 tapered, 25 cylindrical) were placed in the anterior maxillary bone of cadavers meeting the criteria of low-density bone. The maximum insertion (ITV) and removal (RTV) torque values were recorded, and the implant stability quotients (ISQ) determined. To establish the isolated influence of cancellous bone on primary stability, the implantation procedure was performed in standardized low-density polyurethane foam bone blocks (cancellous bone model) using the same procedure. The primary stability parameters of both implant types showed significant positive correlations with bone density (Hounsfield units) and cortical thickness. In the cadaver, the cylindrical zirconia implants showed a significantly higher mean ISQ when compared to the tapered titanium implants (50.58 vs 37.26; P < 0.001). Pearson analysis showed significant positive correlations between ITV and ISQ (P = 0.016) and between RTV and ISQ (P = 0.035) for the cylindrical zirconia implants; no such correlations were observed for the tapered titanium implants. Within the limitations of this study, the results indicate that cylindrical zirconia implants represent a comparable viable treatment option to tapered titanium implants in terms of primary implant stability in low-density human bone.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to mathematically evaluate the influence of variations in thread pitch and cortical bone thickness on the maximum insertion torque (MIT) and implant stability (IS) of miniscrew implants (MIs). METHODS Sixty custom made MIs with a 0.4-, 0.6-, 0.8-, 1.0-, or 1.2-mm thread pitch,12 for each pitch, were randomly placed into the palates of 10 embalmed human maxillae. The MIT was measured with a hand-operated digital torque reader screwdriver with a holding guide, and the IS test was performed using Anycheck. Conebeam computerized tomography was used to measure the cortical bone thickness(CBT) at each MI site. One-way ANOVA, Tukey post hoc test, Pearson's correlation,and multiple linear regression models were performed using the SPSS program. RESULTS The MIT and IS tests demonstrated a pitch-dependent decrease. The pitch had a strong negative correlation with MIT and IS, while the CBT had a strong positive correlation with those outcomes. The association between pitch and CBT significantly influenced MI primary stability. Moreover, a strong correlation was found between MIT and IS. CONCLUSIONS The MI primary stability, MIT, and IS are strongly influenced by theassociation between MI thread pitch and CBT.

Abstract
The orthodontic miniscrew is driven into bone in a clockwise direction. Counter-clockwise rotational force applied to the implanted miniscrew can degrade the stability. The purpose of this three-dimensional finite element study was to figure out the effect of shifting the miniscrew head hole position from the long axis. Two miniscrew models were developed, one with the head hole at the long axis and the other with an eccentric hole position. One degree of counter-clockwise rotation was applied to both groups, and the maximum Von-Mises stress and moment was measured under various wire insertion angles from −60° to +60°. All Von-Mises stress and moments increased with an increase in rotational angle or wire insertion angle. The increasing slope of moment in the eccentric hole group was significantly higher than that in the centric hole group. Although the maximum Von-Mises stress was higher in the eccentric hole group, the distribution of stress was not very different from the centric hole group. As the positive wire insertion angles generated a higher moment under a counter-clockwise rotational force, it is recommended to place the head hole considering the implanting direction of the miniscrew. Clinically, multidirectional and higher forces can be applied to the miniscrew with an eccentric head hole position.

Abstract
Selecting the most biocompatible orthodontic implant available on the market may be a major challenge, given the wide array of orthodontic devices currently available on the market. The latest scientific data have suggested that in vitro evaluations using oral cell lines provide reliable data regarding the toxicity of residual particles released by different types of orthodontic devices. In this regard, the in vitro biocompatibility of three different commercially available implants (stainless steel and titanium-based implants) was assessed. METHODS As an in vitro model, human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) were employed to evaluate the cellular morphology, cell viability, and cytotoxicity by means of 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assays at 24 h and 72 h post-exposure to test implants. RESULTS The results correlate the composition and topography of the implant surface with biological experimental evaluations related to directly affected cells (gingival fibroblasts) and toxicological results on blood vessels (hen's egg test-chorioallantoic membrane (HET-CAM) assay). The stainless steel implant exhibits a relative cytotoxicity against HGF cells, while the other two samples induced no significant alterations of HGF cells. CONCLUSION Among the three test orthodontic implants, the stainless steel implant induced slight cytotoxic effects, thus increased vigilance is required in their clinical use, especially in patients with high sensitivity to nickel.

Influence of bone density, screw size and surgical procedure on orthodontic mini-implant placement - part B: implant stability. Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2020; 50:565-572. [PMID: 32713778 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijom.2020.07.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2019] [Revised: 04/17/2020] [Accepted: 07/02/2020] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
This in vitro study aimed to investigate the influence of bone density, implant size, and surgical procedure on the primary stability (PS) of orthodontic mini-implants (OMIs). In total, 640 OMIs of various sizes (2.0 × 7, 2.3 × 7, 2.0 × 11 and 2.3 × 11 mm) were inserted in the artificial bone of different densities (D1-D4). Placement was performed with an insertion angle of 90° or 60° to the bone surface and in 320 cases without predrilling, which resulted in 64 groups. PS was measured on the basis of implant stability quotient (ISQ) and insertion torque (IT). With regard to all possible influencing parameters, the mean PS differed between 39.20 and 60.00 (ISQ), and 10.00 and 39.00 Ncm (IT). The effect of OMI size and surgical procedure was dependent on bone quality. For example, implant size had less effect in high-density bone and was stronger with decreasing density. Overall, implant length had a greater influence than the diameter, and a high correlation was found among both PS measurement techniques. Therefore, a suitable choice of implant size and surgical protocol with regard to bone density can positively influence PS. In principle, ISQ and IT are suitable for measuring OMI stability.

Abstract
The aim of this in vitro study was to determine the influence of bone density, orthodontic mini-implant (OMI) size, and the surgical procedure on temperature increase during implant site osteotomy and placement. OMIs of different sizes (2.0×7, 2.3×7, 2.0×11, and 2.3×11mm) were placed in artificial bone blocks of different densities (D1-D4). Optionally, the drilling and insertion angle was 90° or 60° to the bone surface. A total of 640 OMIs were inserted, and predrilling was performed in 320 cases. All insertions were done without irrigation with an axial load of 20N, which resulted in 64 groups. Temperature measurements were performed during implant site preparation and placement using Type-K-thermocouples. Mean temperature increase differed for OMI osteotomy between 1.38°C and 8.75°C and placement between 3.8°C and 18.74°C, respectively. Critical thermal increase was especially reached during placement using long implants. Increasing bone density and implant size (diameter <length) correlated with thermal increase. Predrilling and angulated implant placement resulted in less heat development. Critical temperature behaviour in high-density bone could be partially responsible for the high failure rates of OMI placement in the lower jaw. The influence of the implant size on temperature development should be considered when selecting an OMI.

Influence of Orthodontic Anchor Screw Anchorage Method on the Stability of Artificial Bone: An In Vitro Study. MATERIALS 2020; 13:ma13143205.

Abstract
This study aims to compare the torque values for various lengths of the titanium-based orthodontic anchor screw (OAS), different anchorage methods and varying artificial bone densities after predrilling. Furthermore, the effects of these parameters on bone stability are evaluated. A total of 144 OASs were prepared with a diameter of 1.6 mm and heights of 6, 8 and 10 mm. Artificial bones were selected according to their density, corresponding to Grades 50, 40 and 30. Torque values for the automatic device and manual anchorage methods exhibited a statistically significant difference for the same-sized OAS, according to the bone density of the artificial bones (p < 0.05). However, when insertion torque was at the maximum rotations, there was no significant difference in the torque values for the Grade 30 artificial bone (p > 0.05). When the torque values of both anchorage methods were statistically compared with the mean difference for each group, the results of the manual anchorage method were significantly higher than those of the automatic device anchorage method (p < 0.05). A statistically significant difference was observed in the bone stability resulting from different OAS anchorage methods and artificial bone lengths. These findings suggest that the automatic anchorage method should be used when fixing the OAS.

Abstract
Background/purpose The fixation stability is the key factor for orthodontic micro-implant to succeed. This study evaluated the mechanical properties of three types of micro-implants by analyzing their structural configurations. Materials and methods Thirty micro-implants of three types (diameter 1.5 mm, Types A, B, C) were assessed. All micro-implants were manually driven into artificial bones at an 8-mm depth. The insertion torque (IT), pullout strength (PS), and gripping volume (GV) of each type were measured. The indexes of mechanical properties denoted as the PS/IT, GV/IT and PS/GV ratios. Intergroup comparisons and intragroup correlation were examined using statistical analysis. Results Type B had the greatest inner–outer diameter ratio (0.67), and Type A had the smallest (0.53). The IT of Type A (5.26 Ncm) was significantly (p = 0.038) lower than that of Type C (8.8 Ncm). There was no significant difference in the pullout strength. The GV of Type A (9.7 mm3) was significantly greater than Type C (8.4 mm3). Type C was significantly greater than Type B (7.2 mm3). The ratios of mechanical properties (PS/IT, PS/GV, and GV/IT) were found significant in intergroup comparison. The PS/GV ratio was in order: Type B (26.5) > Type A (23.0) > Type C (20.2). Spearman's rho rank correlation test showed that PS of Type B was correlated significantly with GV. Conclusion The design of thread and gripping volume were the important factors that contributes to the mechanical strengths of micro-implant.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The initial stability of orthodontic mini-implants is well investigated over a period of 6 weeks. There is no clinical data available dealing with the long-term stability. The aim of this study was the assessment of long-term stability of paramedian palatal mini-implants in humans. METHODS Stability of 20 implants was measured after removal of the orthodontic appliance (sliding mechanics for sagittal molar movement 200 cN each side) before explantation (T4) using resonance frequency analysis (RFA). Data were compared with a matched group of 21 mini-implants assessing the stability immediately after insertion, and after 2, 4, and 6 weeks (T0-T3). The mini-implants used in this study were machined self-drilling titanium implants (2.0 × 9.0 mm). Gingival thickness at the insertion site was 1-2 mm. RESULTS The implant stability quotient (ISQ) values before removal of the implant at T4 were 25.2 ± 2.9 after 1.7 ± 0.2 years and did not show a statistically significant change over time compared with the initial healing group (T0-T3). CONCLUSIONS Comparing the stability of mini-implants just after completion of the healing period and at the end of their respective usage period revealed no significant difference. An increase of secondary stability could not be detected. The level of stability seemed to be appropriate for orthodontic anchorage.

Abstract
Context: Self-drilling mini-implants are commonly used in orthodontic treatment procedures, but there is limited information regarding their fracture resistance in areas of high-density bone without predrilling. Aims: The objective of this study is to compare and evaluate the maximum insertion torque and fracture resistance of 3 commonly used self-drilling mini-implants in India, and to assess the influence of variation in diameter in torque generation. Materials and methods: 90 mini-implants from 3 different manufacturers with 2 different diameters were drilled into acrylic blocks using a dial indicating torque screwdriver. All mini-implants were drilled at the rate of 20-30 rotations/min, implants were drilled until they fractured. Torque generated at the point of fracture is shown on the dial of the screwdriver. Measurements of the peak insertion torque value for each manufacturer were recorded separately. Statistical analysis: Analysis of variance, post hoc Bonferroni test. Results: Analysis of variance test showed a significant difference among all the manufacturers in both the diameters with P < .05. Implants of 1.6 mm diameter of Ancer group have the highest fracture resistance value when compared with the same diameter of JJ Orthodontics and SK Surgicals. Implants with higher diameter have more resistance than those with lower diameter. Conclusions: The observed highest fracture resistance is 47 Ncm by Ancer and least fracture resistance is 16 Ncm by JJ Orthodontics. The values are higher than the torque required to place mini-implants intraorally. Ancer mini-implants have the highest peak fracture torque, thus more than SK Surgicals and JJ Orthodontics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to verify if the Insertion Torque Value (ITV) of 32 Ncm for immediate loading protocol (ILP), as indicated by literature, is still, with the advance in implant research, a real significant cut-off for long-term implant survival. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this retrospective study, data from 224 patients that during three years of clinical practice, were submitted to the insertion of 322 implants with immediate loading protocol, have been recorded, pooled and analyzed. Data were organized based on Insertion Torque Value (ITV): > 32 Ncm (CG) and < 32 Ncm (LTG) and two different groups of equal sample size, 161 implants each, were distinguished. Crestal bone reabsorption, and the implant failure rate were evaluated after 2-years of follow-up. RESULTS The bone reabsorption in LTG (0.49 ± 0.11 mm ) was significantly greater than CG (0.22 ± 0.04 mm), p<0.001. However, the survival rate after 2-years of follow-up was quite high and similar for both groups: 96.89% for LTG and 97.52% for CG and no statistically significant differences have been found among the two groups for the implant failure rate (p=0.455).The Odds Ratio (OR) of implant failure was of 1.258 (95% CI 0.332, 4.772), but results were not statistical significant, p=0.740. CONCLUSIONS The present study showed that although implants with ITV> 32 Ncm are still characterized by a lower crestal bone resorption, there are no statistically significant differences among the two groups for what concerning the failure rate during the 2 years of follow-up and OR. These results permit us to suppose that the cut-off of ITV >32 Ncm for immediate loading implants, could be reduced to inferior values. However further studies are necessary to indicate precise clinical guidelines.

Abstract
Microimplants are being used extensively in clinical practice to achieve absolute anchorage. Success of microimplant mainly depend on its primary stability onto the cortical bone surface and the associated Microdamage of the cortical bone during insertion procedure leads to many a microimplants to fail and dislodge from the cortical bone leading to its failure. Even though, previous studies showed occurrence of microdamage in the cortical bone, they were mainly 2-dimension studies or studies that were invasive to the host. In the present study, we used a non-invasive, non-ionizing imaging technique- Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), to image and analyze the presence of microdamage along the cortical bone surrounding the microimplant. We inserted 80 microimplants in two different methods (drill and drill free method) and in two different angulations onto the cortical bone surface. Images were obtained in both 2D and 3D imaging modes. In the images, microdamage in form of microcracks on the cortical bone surface around the bone-microimplant interface and micro-elevations of the cortical bone in angulated microimplant insertions and the presence of bone debris due to screwing motion of the microimplant on insertion can be appreciated visually and quantitatively through the depth intensity profile analysis of the images.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of his study was to evaluate the stress on tooth and alveolar bone caused by orthodontic intrusion forces in a supraerupted upper molar, by using a three-dimensional Finite Element Method (FEM). Methods: A superior maxillary segment was modeled in the software SolidWorks 2010 (SolidWorks Corporation, Waltham, MA, USA) containing: cortical and cancellous bone, supraerupted first molar, periodontal tissue and orthodontic components. A finite element model has simulated intrusion forces of 4N onto a tooth, directed to different mini-screw locations. Three different intrusion mechanics vectors were simulated: anchoring on a buccal mini-implant; anchoring on a palatal mini-implant and the association of both anchorage systems. All analyses were performed considering the minimum principal stress and total deformation. Qualitative analyses exhibited stress distribution by color maps. Quantitative analysis was performed with a specific software for reading and solving numerical equations (ANSYS Workbench 14, Ansys, Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, USA). Results: Intrusion forces applied from both sides (buccal and palatal) resulted in a more homogeneous stress distribution; no high peak of stress was detected and it has allowed a vertical resultant movement. Buccal or palatal single-sided forces resulted in concentrated stress zones with higher values and tooth tipping to respective force side. Conclusion: Unilateral forces promoted higher stress in root apex and higher dental tipping. The bilateral forces promoted better distribution without evidence of dental tipping. Bilateral intrusion technique suggested lower probability of root apex resorption.

Abstract
SummaryObjectiveThe aim of this study was to assess the potential of improving orthodontic miniscrews’ (MSs) primary stability in vivo by evaluating the dispersion capacity of an injectable bone graft substitute (iBGS) through a newly designed hollow MS [The Sydney Mini Screw (SMS)] and its integration with the cortical and trabecular bone by using the femur and tibia in a New Zealand rabbit animal model.MethodsIn total, 24 MSs were randomly placed in each proximal tibia and femur of 6 New Zealand rabbits with an open surgery process. Aarhus MSs were used as controls and the effect of injection of iBGS was studied by implanting SMSs with and without iBGS injection. The dispersion of iBGS and the integration of the SMS were studied by using micro Computed Tomography (μCT) and histochemical analysis at two time points, 0 day and 8 weeks post-implantation.ResultsiBGS was successfully injected through the SMS and hardened in situ. After 8 weeks, μCT results revealed that the iBGS particles were resorbed and bone tissue was formed around the SMS and within its lateral exit holes.ConclusionsThis pilot animal study showed the high potential of the combined use of iBGS and SMS as a newly developed technique to promote the primary stability of MSs.

Abstract
Objective
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of cortical piezo-puncture (CPP) on maximum insertion torque (MIT), maximum removal torque (MRT), and maximum axial load (MAL) during the insertion of self-drilling miniscrew implants (MSI), in an experimental model with proximal epiphysis of bovine tibia.
Materials and Methods
A comparative study was conducted using two groups of 20 self-drilling MSI inserted in intact bone (control group) and in bone with previous CPP (experimental group). MIT, MRT, and MAL of the 20 mini implants of each group were measured. Using SPSS software, Student’s t-test was applied to compare MIT and MRT and the U-test Mann–Whitney test was applied to compare MAL in both groups as well as Pearson and Spearman correlation.
Results
In the experimental group, average values of 12.85 (±4,32) Newton x centimeters (Ncm), 13.7 (±4,54) Ncm, and 22,474 (±895,95) gF for MIT, MRT, and MAL were found, respectively. In the control group, average values found for MIT, MRT, and MAL were 20.2 (±4,7) Ncm, 22.3 (±5,17) Ncm, and 4688,7 (±320,18) gF, respectively. Statistically significant differences were observed in MIT, MRT, and MAL between control and experimental groups (P < 0,001).
Conclusions
CPP before insertion of orthodontic MSI in bovine tibia significantly reduces MIT, MRT, and MAL.

Abstract
PURPOSE Miniscrews are an important choice for orthodontic anchorage. Yet reports on failures do exist, and attempts have been made to elucidate the causes. Clinical outcomes may be compromised not only by the mechanical implications of miniscrew design and the location of anchorage but also by poor biocompatibility. Hence, this study deals with the surface roughness and elemental composition of miniscrews and how these properties may affect the in vitro biocompatibility of four commercially available miniscrews. METHODS Most of the currently available miniscrews are made of TiAl6V4, an alloy widely considered to be biocompatible. The samples tested in this study included four similarly dimensioned TiAl6V4 products from different manufacturers: tomas® by Dentaurum, OrthoEasy® by Forestadent®, Dual Top™ by Jeil Medical/Promedia, and LOMAS by Mondeal®. The surface properties of these products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X‑ray spectroscopy (EDX). Cytotoxicity was assessed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and agar overlay assays according to ISO 10993-5. RESULTS The miniscrew products were found to show variations in surface-finish quality pertaining to topography and chemical composition, with the latter departing slightly from the manufacturers' specifications. MTT assays yielded rates of cell culture viability in excess of 90%, and agar overlay assays did not reveal decoloration beyond the specimen outlines in any of the experimental groups tested. CONCLUSIONS The four miniscrew products exhibited some minor, but statistically significant, differences in microtopography, alloy composition, and biological inertness. Cytotoxicity testing revealed that all four products should be considered non-cytotoxic, thus, ruling out poor biocompatibility as a cause of miniscrew failure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the bone density in maxilla and mandible in dentate and edentulous patients in Saudi population. METHODS This study involved a retrospective analysis of cone beam CT images of 100 patients (50 male and 50 female) who have come to College of Dentistry, University of Dammam, Dammam, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia between January 2014 and 2015. Using the bone density option in the Simplant software, the Hounsfield unit (HU) was calculated at the edentulous sites. While for dentate sites, a region of interest was selected coronally at 3-5 mm to the root apex using I-CAT vision software. The densities of the buccal bone and cancellous bone were measured at interradicular areas of a specific teeth. RESULTS The highest bone density at the edentulous sites was at the mandibular anterior region (776.5 ± 65.7 HU), followed by the mandibular posterior region (502.2 ± 224.2 HU). Regarding the dentate sites, the highest bone density was at the buccal cortical plate of the lower incisor teeth (937.56 ± 176.92 HU) and the lowest bone density was at the cancellous bone around the posterior maxillary teeth (247.12 ± 46.75 HU). CONCLUSION The alveolar bone density at dentate and edentulous sites in our population is generally lower than the norm reference density of other populations, which dictates the need for quantitative assessment of bone density before implants and mini-implants placement.

Abstract
We investigates the effect of the anchor area on the mechanical strengths of infrazygomatic mini-implants. Thirty mini-implants were divided into three types based on the material and shape: Type A (titanium alloy, 2.0×12 mm), Type B (stainless steel, 2.0×12 mm), and Type C (titanium alloy, 2.0×11 mm).The mini-implants were inserted at 90° and 45° into the artificial bone to a depth of 7 mm, without predrilling. The mechanical strengths [insertion torque (IT), resonance frequency (RF), and removal torque (RT)] and the anchor area were measured. We hypothesized that no correlation exists among the mechanical forces of each brand. In the 90° tests, the IT, RF, and RT of Type C (8.5 N cm, 10.2 kHz, and 6.1 N cm, respectively) were significantly higher than those of Type A (5.0 N cm, 7.7 kHz, and 4.7 N cm, respectively). In the 45° test, the RFs of Type C (9.2 kHz) was significantly higher than those of Type A (7.0 kHz) and Type B (6.7 kHz). The anchor area of the mini-implants was in the order of Type C (706 mm2)>Type B (648 mm2)>Type A (621 mm2). Type C exhibited no significant correlation in intragroup comparisons, and the hypothesis was accepted. In the 90° and 45° tests, Type C exhibited the largest anchor area and the highest mechanical strengths (IT, RF, and RT) among the three types of mini-implants. The anchor area plays a crucial role in the mechanical strength of mini-implants.

Abstract
PURPOSE The study focused on the influence of screwdriver design in combination with and without predrilling a pilot hole of inner implant diameter on insertion torque of orthodontic mini-implants, controlling for cortical thickness and vertical insertion force as cofactors. METHODS One hundred twenty mini-implants (Forestadent) of 1.7 mm in diameter and 6 and 8 mm in length were manually inserted into 120 swine rib bone samples. Maximal insertion torque as a measure of primary stability and vertical force were measured. The study included procedures with and without pilot hole and different screwdriver handles and shaft length and 2 implant lengths. RESULTS Design of manual screwdriver does not modify insertion torque to a significant extent. In multiple linear regression model, significant predictors of insertion torque are thicker cortical bone (explaining 16.6% of variability), higher vertical force at maximal torque (13.5%), 6-mm implant length (2.5%), and the presence of pilot hole (2.3%). CONCLUSIONS Handle type and shaft length of manual screwdriver do not significantly influence insertion torque, whereas predrilling a pilot hole has low impact on torque values of manually inserted self-drilling orthodontic mini-implants.

Abstract
PURPOSE The study aimed to explore the effect of the insertion method on maximal insertion torque as a measure of primary stability while controlling for the effect of cortical bone thickness, mini-implant length and diameter, and vertical insertion force on insertion torque. METHODS Six types of mini-implants (Dual Top; Jeil Medical, Corp.) with diameters of 1.4, 1.6, and 2.0 mm and lengths of 6 and 8 mm were inserted manually and in a machine-driven mode into pig rib bone samples, and experiments were repeated 10 times, which totaled 120 tested implants in 120 pig rib samples. Cortical bone thickness was measured with a sliding caliper, whereas insertion torque and vertical insertion forces were recorded with a specially designed device. RESULTS Significant predictors of better primary stability are thicker cortical bone (explaining 24.2% of variability), wider diameter (20.6%), manual insertion (9.9%), greater length (3.7%), higher maximal vertical insertion force (2.2%), and lower vertical force at maximal insertion torque (1.4%). CONCLUSIONS Manual insertion is associated with higher primary stability of orthodontic mini-implants than mechanical insertion, but thicker cortical bone and larger implant diameter seem to be stronger predictors of primary stability.

Abstract
PURPOSE Mechanical loosening remains a common complication associated with mini-implant failure. The purpose of this study was to compare common mechanical measures of mini-implant stability to determine their association and reliability. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety self-drilling orthodontic mini-implants from 6 manufacturers were inserted into artificial bone blocks. Insertion torques (ITs) and Periotest values (PVs) were measured. Subsequently, mini-implants underwent pull-out testing for measures of pull-out load (POL) and screw displacement (ScrD). Stability measurements were compared using one-way ANOVA, associations among them were assessed using correlation analyses, and reliability was evaluated using coefficients of variation (COVs). RESULTS Variations in stability of mini-implants were found, specific to the mechanical measure used for assessment (P < 0.05). The strongest correlations were found between IT and PV (r = -0.68) and between IT and POL (r = 0.66). Overall, PV showed the greatest variability (COV: 11%-100%) compared with IT (≤11%), POL (≤4%), and ScrD (≤19%). CONCLUSIONS IT, PV, and POLs only agreed moderately in their assessment of mini-implant stability, and Periotest showed the least reliability in predicting mini-implant stability. As such, independent and interchangeable use of these stability measures should be avoided.

Abstract
This study aimed to compare the insertion torque (IT), resonance frequency (RF), and removal torque (RT) among three microimplant brands. Thirty microimplants of the three brands were used as follows: Type A (titanium alloy, 1.5-mm × 8-mm), Type B (stainless steel, 1.5-mm × 8-mm), and Type C (titanium alloy, 1.5-mm × 9-mm). A synthetic bone with a 2-mm cortical bone and bone marrow was used. Each microimplant was inserted into the synthetic bone, without predrilling, to a 7 mm depth. The IT, RF, and RT were measured in both vertical and horizontal directions. One-way analysis of variance and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient tests were used for intergroup and intragroup comparisons, respectively. In the vertical test, the ITs of Type C (7.8 Ncm) and Type B (7.5 Ncm) were significantly higher than that of Type A (4.4 Ncm). The RFs of Type C (11.5 kHz) and Type A (10.2 kHz) were significantly higher than that of Type B (7.5 kHz). Type C (7.4 Ncm) and Type B (7.3 Ncm) had significantly higher RTs than did Type A (4.1 Ncm). In the horizontal test, both the ITs and RTs were significantly higher for Type C, compared with Type A. No significant differences were found among the groups, and the study hypothesis was accepted. Type A had the lowest inner/outer diameter ratio and widest apical facing angle, engendering the lowest IT and highest RF values. However, no significant correlations in the IT, RF, and RT were observed among the three groups.

Abstract
Abstract
Recently, skeletal anchorage devices have been used as anchorage units for upper molar intrusion as a way of correcting an anterior open bite malocclusion. To avoid the surgical procedures associated with the placement of miniplates in the zygomatic area, mini-implants may be inserted palatally or buccally in the alveolar process. However, consideration must be given to the potential risks of root damage and a higher failure rate associated with the placement of temporary anchorage devices (TADs) in the interradicular area. The anterior hard palate provides a safer and more stable alternative for TAD placement. The current paper describes the biomechanical principles and the clinical procedures of ‘Mousetrap’ mechanics using mini-implants in the anterior palate for upper molar intrusion. The stomatognathic response of maxillary molar intrusion is an autorotation of the mandible and so the sagittal implications for each patient must be considered. The presented patient demonstrates successful correction and stability of the treatment result at a three-year review.

Abstract
Mini-implants have been extensively used in Orthodontics as temporary bone anchorage devices. However, early failure of mini-implants due to mobility might occur and the colonization of their surfaces by pathogenic bacteria has been referred to as one of the contributing factors. In this study, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to assess the presence of microorganisms adhered to the surface of mini-implants that failed due to loss of stability. Twelve self-drilling titanium mini-implants (1.6 mm diameter × 9.0 mm long) were collected from 12 patients undergoing orthodontic treatment-7 successful and 5 failed mini-implants. The mean time of permanence in the mouth was 15.8 and 2.4 months for successful and failed mini-implants, respectively. The devices were placed in the maxilla and/or mandible and removed by the same surgeon and were processed for SEM analysis of the presence of microorganisms on their surfaces (head, transmucosal profile, and body). Extensive bacterial colonization on mini-implant head and transmucosal profile was observed in all successful and failed mini-implants. None of the failed mini-implants exhibited bacteria on its body and only one mini-implant belonging to the successful (stable) group exhibited bacteria on its body. The results did not suggest a relationship between failure and presence of bacterial colonies on mini-implant surfaces.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Miniscrews are frequently used for skeletal anchorage during edgewise treatment, and their clinical use has been verified. However, their disadvantage is an approximately 15% failure rate, which is primarily attributed to the low mechanical stability between the miniscrew and cortical bone and to the miniscrew's close proximity to the dental root. To solve these problems, we developed a novel spike-like auxiliary skeletal anchorage device for use with a miniscrew to increase its stability. METHODS The retention force was compared between miniscrews with and without the auxiliary skeletal anchorage device at each displacement of the miniscrew. The combined unit was also implanted into the bones of 2 rabbits in vivo, and implantation was visually assessed at 4 weeks postoperatively while the compression force was applied. RESULTS The retention force of the combined unit was significantly and approximately 3 to 5 times stronger on average than that of the miniscrew alone at each displacement. The spiked portion of the auxiliary anchorage device embedded into the cortical bone of the hind limb at approximately a 0.3-mm depth at 4 weeks postimplantation in both rabbits. CONCLUSIONS The auxiliary skeletal anchorage device may increase miniscrew stability, allow a shortened miniscrew, and enable 3-dimensional absolute anchorage. Further evaluation of its clinical application is necessary.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the initial stability of dual-thread miniscrews by analyzing the strain at the bone-implant interface and insertion torque during implantation in artificial bone models with different cortical bone thicknesses. MATERIALS AND METHODS Insertion torque, and strain, measured with a five-element strain gauge in 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0-mm artificial cortical bone, during insertion of single- (OAS-T1507) and dual-thread (MPlant-U3) type self-drilling miniscrews were assessed. RESULTS Both dual- and single-thread miniscrews showed greater than 7790 μstrain for all cortical bone thicknesses, and dual-thread miniscrews reached up to 19580 μstrain in 2.00 m m cortical bone. The strain of dual-thread miniscrews increased with increasing cortical bone thicknesses of 1.0-2.0mm. For single-thread miniscrews, the maximum insertion torque was relatively constant, but maximum insertion torque increased significantly in dual-thread groups with increasing cortical bone thicknesses (P < 0.0001). The maximum insertion torque with all cortical bone thicknesses was significantly lower with single- than dual-thread types (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Self-drilling dual-thread miniscrews provide better initial mechanical stability, but may cause strain over the physiological bone remodelling limit at the bone-implant interface in thick cortical bone layers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the unique contribution of geometrical design characteristics of orthodontic mini-implants on maximum insertion torque while controlling for the influence of cortical bone thickness. METHODS Total number of 100 cylindrical orthodontic mini-implants was used. Geometrical design characteristics of ten specimens of ten types of cylindrical self-drilling orthodontic mini-implants (Ortho Easy®, Aarhus, and Dual Top™) with diameters ranging from 1.4 to 2.0 mm and lengths of 6 and 8 mm were measured. Maximum insertion torque was recorded during manual insertion of mini-implants into bone samples. Cortical bone thickness was measured. Retrieved data were analyzed in a multiple regression model. RESULTS Significant predictors for higher maximum insertion torque included larger outer diameter of implant, higher lead angle of thread, and thicker cortical bone, and their unique contribution to maximum insertion torque was 12.3%, 10.7%, and 24.7%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The maximum insertion torque values are best controlled by choosing an implant diameter and lead angle according to the assessed thickness of cortical bone.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether there is evidence to support the association between cortical thickness (CtTh) and the primary stability of mini-implants (MI). MATERIALS AND METHODS A search was performed including articles published until September 2013. The inclusion criteria comprised observational clinical studies conducted in patients who received monocortical MI for orthodontic anchorage and in vivo or ex vivo experimental studies performed to evaluate the primary stability of MI, studies that evaluated the association between CtTh and MI primary stability, CtTh measurement performed numerically, and MI primary stability evaluated by implant stability quotient value, Periotest value , pull-out strength, or insertion torque. Studies conducted exclusively in artificial bone or finite elements were excluded. RESULTS Abstract and title reading identified 15 possible articles to be included. After reading the complete text, three were excluded. One article was found by hand searching and another excluded for an overlapping sample. Finally, 12 articles were selected. A positive correlation was found between primary stability and CtTh when studies that evaluated primary stability through PS were grouped (r = .409) and when studies that evaluated stability in humans were grouped (r = .338). CONCLUSIONS There is a positive association between MI primary stability and CtTh of the receptor site. However, there is still a lack of well-designed clinical trials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of molar distalization depending on age and second-molar eruption using the Beneslider. MATERIALS AND METHODS Treatment of 51 patients (mean age 17.8 ± 9.6 years) was investigated retrospectively by means of pre- and posttreatment cephalograms. Patients were divided into three groups: 14 children with unerupted upper second molars (group 1), 23 adolescents with second molar in place (group 2), and 14 adults (group 3). The distalization forces applied were 2.4 N in group 1 and 5.0 N in groups 2 and 3. Treatment changes were evaluated and examined statistically for significant differences. RESULTS In all patients a Class I molar relationship was achieved. All mini-implants remained stable during treatment. Mean distalization distance as measured by the displacement of the center of resistance was 3.6 ± 1.9 mm (range 1.2-8.5 mm depending on treatment needs). Since no significant tipping was detected, the type of movement can be described as bodily movement. Mean overall distalization speed was 0.6 ± 0.4 mm per month. There were no statistical differences between the groups. CONCLUSION We found the Beneslider to be an effective appliance that enables bodily distalization in adequate treatment time. The higher resistance due to erupted second molars can be compensated by the use of higher forces without significantly reducing distalization speed.
