Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the infrazygomatic crest (IZC) and palatal bone width, height, and angulation in patients with different vertical facial growth types as potential miniscrew insertion sites. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective cone-beam computed tomography study, 162 subjects (81 males and 81 females, mean age 16.05 ± 0.65 years) were included. They were divided into three groups (hypodivergent, normodivergent, and hyperdivergent) based on the Frankfort mandibular plane angle. Ten buccal bone measurements were made at two different coronal sections: maxillary first molar mesiobuccal and distobuccal roots (bilaterally). Six palatal bone measurements were made on a sagittal section at the maxillary central incisors (bilaterally). A total of 32 measurements per subject were considered in the study. RESULTS No significant difference was observed for the IZC (width and angle) at the maxillary first molar mesiobuccal root. A comparison of normodivergent and hyperdivergent groups for buccal width at the distobuccal root of the first molar showed significant differences. Palatal bone thickness at the level of 2 mm distal to the apex of the central incisor was significantly higher for the hyperdivergent group (10.43 mm) compared with the normodivergent (7.58 mm) and hypodivergent groups (7.83 mm). CONCLUSIONS Hyperdivergent subjects tend to present a longer and deeper IZC and increased palatal bone thickness compared with other groups. The recommended insertion angle for the IZC mini-implant at 3 mm from the alveolar crest should be between 75.5° and 77°.

Retrospective evaluation of the success rate and factors associated with the stability of alveolar ridge orthodontic miniscrews: Pilot study. J World Fed Orthod 2024:S2212-4438(24)00012-2. [PMID: 38643033 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejwf.2024.02.001] [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: 12/19/2023] [Revised: 02/21/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND An uncommon location for placing miniscrews, used to provide anchorage control in various tooth movements, is the alveolar ridge. This study aimed to provide an evaluation of the success rate of alveolar ridge miniscrews and examine variables that might impact their success. METHODS Charts for 295 patients who had miniscrews were screened. Twenty patients (5 male and 15 female: average age = 38.15 ± 15.10 years) with a total of 50 alveolar ridge miniscrews were analyzed. A customized data form was used to collect patients' and miniscrews' related variables. Kaplan-Meier estimator was used for the survival function, whereas Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to associate collected variables with alveolar ridge miniscrew survival. RESULTS In total, 31 (62.0%) miniscrews were stable and 19 (38.0%) failed. The survival time for those that failed was 6.03 ± 7.08 months. The follow-up period for those that survived was 35.84 ± 19.47 months. Male gender versus female (hazard ratio [HR] 2.46; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.35-4.48; P = 0.003), and if the miniscrew was a replacement versus non-replacement (HR 0.27; 95% CI 0.07-0.99; P = 0.048) influenced the survival. Additionally, miniscrews that were used for both indirect and direct or indirect anchorage alone plus those with evidence of splinting showed a 100% survival rate, which led to an HR 0 (P < 0.001). When the previously mentioned variables were modeled, none seemed to have a significant effect on failure except for splinting and type of anchorage (P < 0.001), because none of the splinted miniscrews failed. CONCLUSIONS The failure rate of alveolar ridge miniscrews was (38.0%) over 6.03 ± 7.08 months. The survival rate was (62.0%) over 35.84 ± 19.47 months. The evidence of splinting and the type of anchorage had a significant effect on survival probability.

[PMID: 37423833 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejwf.2023.06.002] [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: 04/30/2023] [Revised: 06/01/2023] [Accepted: 06/10/2023] [Indexed: 07/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of orthodontic miniscrew pitch and thread shape on microdamage in cortical bone. The relationship between the microdamage and primary stability was also examined. METHODS Ti6Al4V orthodontic miniscrews and 1.0-mm-thick cortical bone pieces from fresh porcine tibia were prepared. The orthodontic miniscrews had custom-made thread height (H) and pitch (P) size geometries, and were classified into three groups: control geometry; HCPC (HC; thread height = 0.12 mm, PC; pitch size = 0.60 mm), geometry with a narrower pitch; HCPN (HC; thread height = 0.12 mm, PN; pitch size = 0.30 mm), and geometry with a taller thread height; HTPC (HT; thread height = 0.36 mm, PC; pitch size = 0.60 mm). The orthodontic miniscrews were inserted into a pilot hole in the cortical bone, and maximum insertion torque and Periotest value were measured. After insertion, the samples were stained with basic fuchsin. Histological thin sections were obtained and the bone microdamage parameters, i.e., total crack length and total damage area, and insertion state parameters, i.e., orthodontic miniscrew surface length and bone compression area were calculated. RESULTS The orthodontic miniscrews with the taller thread height resulted in lower primary stability with minimal bone compression and microdamage; however, the narrower thread pitch led to maximum bone compression and extensive bone microdamage. CONCLUSIONS A wider thread pitch reduced microdamage, and decreased thread height resulted in increased bone compression, ultimately resulting in increased primary stability.

Zhao Y, Jia T, Wang Z. Comparative analysis of anchorage strength and histomorphometric changes after implantation of miniscrews in adults and adolescents: an experimental study in Beagles. BMC Oral Health 2023; 23:639. [PMID: 37670309 PMCID: PMC10478492 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-023-03318-y] [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: 03/12/2023] [Accepted: 08/16/2023] [Indexed: 09/07/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to explore the differences in anchorage strength and histomorphometric changes in orthodontic miniscrews between adult and adolescent beagles. MATERIAL AND METHOD Six adult beagles and six young beagles were used as experimental subjects, and eight miniscrews were symmetrically placed in the posterior mandible of each dog. Measurement of the displacement (mm) of two adjacent miniscrews after load application was performed to compare the anchorage strength between the adult and adolescent groups. Three intravital bone fluorochromes (oxytetracycline, calcein green, xylenol orange) were administered postoperatively to mark the active bone-forming surface. Subsequently, the mineral apposition rate and bone-implant contact ratio were measured for dynamic and static histomorphometry. Finally, the expression levels of the RANKL/OPG ratio were evaluated by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS The average displacement of miniscrews in the adult group was significantly less than that in the adolescent group after load application. For histomorphometry analysis, the mineral exposure rate in the adolescent group was higher than that in the adult group with or without force application. In addition, more fractures and new bone formation but deceased bone-implant contact ratios were observed in the adolescent group than in the adult group. The ratio of RANKL/OPG expression increased more in the adolescent group than in the adult group. CONCLUSION Miniscrews do not remain in the same position as skeletal anchors, and the amount of displacement was higher in adolescent group than that in adult group, reflecting the weaker anchorage strength of miniscrews in adolescents due to the higher bone turnover rate and active bone remodelling. Therefore, it is feasible to apply orthodontic loading to the miniscrews in adult patients earlier, even immediately, but it is recommended to wait a period for the adolescents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Miniscrews as auxiliary anchorage devices in orthodontic treatment have definite advantages and efficacy. The aim of the present study was to investigate the scientific evidence including randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or controlled clinical trials (CCTs) to support the application of low-level laser therapy to improve miniscrews stability in orthodontic treatment. METHODS An extensive literature research was conducted with the Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and ScienceDirect without language limitations. All searches were inclusive until June 2020. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool was used to assess the risk of bias (RoB) in the included RCTs. RESULTS Through the electronic searches, 428 titles and abstracts were identified. From these, 4 articles were retrieved for review, and 3 of these met the inclusion criteria. Two RCTs reported increased miniscrews stability with low-intensity laser therapy, but the other one reported no difference. Except one study assessed as "high risk of bias" the other two were rated as "low risk of bias". CONCLUSION There is insufficient evidence to support or refute the effectiveness of LLLT for improvement of miniscrew stability. Further studies with a better study design, reliable evaluation method, comprehensive evaluation intervals and appropriate loading protocol are required to provide more reliable evidence for the clinical application of LLLT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyze macrophage-colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), a bone remodeling biomarker in the peri-miniscrew implant crevicular fluid (PMICF) after insertion and orthodontic loading. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study included 40 miniscrew implant (MSI) sites in 10 subjects undergoing fixed orthodontic mechanotherapy utilizing miniscrew anchorage. After dental alignment, miniscrews were inserted between the second premolar and first molar roots. After 21 days of insertion, MSIs were direct loaded with closed-coil springs (200 g force) for en masse retraction of anterior teeth. PMICF was collected with Periopaper™ strips from the gingival crevice around MSIs at six time points (T1-T6: 1 hour, 1 day, 21 days postinsertion, and 7, 21, and 42 days postloading). PMICF was quantified for M-CSF by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Paired comparison of mean M-CSF concentrations before and after loading stages (T1-T6) was made using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. RESULTS The mean M-CSF concentration showed a significant peak at T3 (21 days postinsertion; 12.646 pg/mL; T1 vs T3: P < .0001). After orthodontic loading of miniscrews, M-CSF levels increased to 13.570 pg/mL at T4 (7 days after loading; T1 vs T4: P < .001) and maintained at a plateau to T5 (21 days postloading; 11.994 pg/mL). However, the difference between preloading and postloading was not statistically significant (T3 vs T4). CONCLUSIONS The maximum M-CSF activity around MSIs was observed at around 3 weeks of miniscrew insertion, suggesting underlying bone remodeling after surgical injury. However, orthodontic force on MSIs did not cause any significant surge in M-CSF levels postloading.

Abstract
Objective To compare the removal torque of microimplants upon post-use removal and post-retention removal and to assess the influencing factors. Methods The sample group included 241 patients (age, 30.25 ± 12.2 years) with 568 microimplants. They were divided into the post-use (microimplants removed immediately after use or treatment) and post-retention (microimplants removed during the retention period) removal groups. The removal torque in both groups was assessed according to sex, age, placement site and method, and microimplant size. Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression analyses were performed for evaluating variables influencing the removal torque. Results The mean period of total in-bone stay of microimplants in the post-retention removal group (1,237 days) was approximately two times longer than that in the post-use removal group (656.28 days). The removal torques in the post-retention removal group (range, 4–5 N cm) were also higher than those in the post-use removal group. The mandible and pre-drilling groups demonstrated higher placement and removal torques than did the maxilla and no-drilling groups, respectively. In the no-drilling post-use removal group, the placement torque and microimplant length positively correlated with the removal torque. In the post-retention removal group, unloading in-bone stay period and microimplant diameter positively correlated with the removal torque in the no-drilling and pre-drilling methods, respectively. Conclusions The removal torques differed according to the orthodontic loading and removal time of microimplants. With prolonged retention of microimplants inserted using the no-drilling method, the removal torque was clinically acceptable and positively correlated with the unloading in-bone stay period.

Abstract
The number of older individuals (> 60 years) treated in orthodontic dental practice is constantly growing, and osteoporosis is a common disease within this age range. Orthodontic treatment for this group tends to be challenging, often requiring the use of mini-implants. Mini-implants are important accessories in orthodontic treatment that provide solutions to complex cases. Despite the high level of success, these devices are prone to failure if insufficient bone stability is achieved. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of photobiomodulation on bone neoformation around mini-implants using fluorescence analysis in ovariectomized rats. A total of 12 female rats (Wistar) were ovariectomized and divided into three groups: two groups of low-level laser therapy irradiation in two different protocols, as follows: in the PBM1 group, applications were performed using 2 J, for 20 s each for 48 h, 6 irradiations in total, and in the PBM2 group, a single application of 4 J was performed for 40 s, and the third group represented the control group, and no laser therapy was applied. Each rat received two mini-implants placed immediately behind the upper incisors, and 0 g of force was applied using a NiTi spring. All rats received two bone markers, tetracycline (days 0-4) and alizarin (days 7-10), for 5 days each. Both markers were bound to calcium, allowing visualization of bone neoformation through fluorescence microscopy. After 12 days, euthanasia was performed; the results revealed that both irradiated groups showed significantly greater bone neoformation compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Mini-implant stability was measured in all animals using the Periotest device on day 0 and on the day of euthanasia. A significant increase in stability was observed in the group that received more laser application (p < 0.05). Photobiomodulation had a positive effect on bone neoformation around mini-implants in ovariectomized rats, with an increase in stability when more irradiation was performed.

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
Background The current study aimed to evaluate factors affecting the long-term stability of microimplants using removal torque and the correlation between removal torque and clinical variables. Materials and methods This research evaluated 703 microimplants placed in 354 patients (mean age: 30.4 ± 12.1 years). The removal torque was evaluated according to various clinical variables including sex, age, placement site, microimplant size, and placement method (self-drilling versus pre-drilling). Pearson correlation and stepwise multiple linear regression analyses were performed to investigate different variables and their association with removal torque. Results The mean removal torque was significantly higher in the mandible (4.46 N cm) than in the maxilla (3.73 N cm). The values in the posterior teeth/retromolar areas were significantly higher than those in the anterior teeth area. There were no significant difference in terms of sex. Teenagers had a lower removal torque than older adults in the mandible, but not in the maxilla. Microimplants with a greater length and diameter, except for those with a greater diameter in the maxilla, was associated with a higher removal torque. Regardless of placement torque, the removal torque convergently reached approximately 4 N cm in both placement methods. The removal torque was significantly correlated with screw length in the self-drilling group and with diameter in the pre-drilling group. Conclusions Removal torque was related with placement site, age, placement method, and length and diameter of microimplants.

Arqub SA, Gandhi V, Mehta S, Palo L, Upadhyay M, Yadav S. Survival estimates and risk factors for failure of palatal and buccal mini-implants. Angle Orthod 2021; 91:756-763. [PMID: 34003884 DOI: 10.2319/090720-777.1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2020] [Accepted: 02/01/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The primary objective was to compare the success and survival rates of palatal and buccal mini-implants for different locations and treatment requirements. The secondary objective was to evaluate risk factors influencing the survival of mini-implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective cohort, records of 127 orthodontic patients with 257 mini-implants were included after imposing inclusion/exclusion criteria. Along with the implant failure data, factors such as age, sex, transverse location, anteroposterior location, and purpose of mini-implants were recorded. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to draw the curves and a Nathan Mantel-David Cox test to compare variables. RESULTS The failure rate of palatal mini-implants was 8.5%, whereas the failure rate for buccal shelf mini-implants was 68.7% (P < .0001). A significant difference was that the survival rates of palatal mini-implants were dependent on the purpose of the mini-implants and, for the buccal mini-implants, they were dependent on the skeletal malocclusion and location type of mini-implants (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS The overall survival rate of palatal mini-implants was high, at 91.5%. Of the buccal mini-implants, inter-radicular mini-implants had the highest survival rate for 12 (75.5%) and 24 (71.9%) months, while buccal shelf mini-implants had the lowest success and survival rates for 12 (31.3%) and 24 (20.8%) months. Class III malocclusion had the lowest survival rate for the buccal mini-implants (65.3% and 54.2%) for 12 and 24 months.

Abstract
Introduction: Shorter miniscrew implants (MSIs) are needed to make orthodontics more effective and efficient. Objective: To evaluate the stability, insertion torque, removal torque and pain associated with 3 mm long MSIs placed in humans by a novice clinician. Methods: 82 MSIs were placed in the buccal maxillae of 26 adults. Pairs of adjacent implants were immediately loaded with 100g. Subjects were recalled after 1, 3, 5, and 8 weeks to verify stability and complete questionnaires pertaining to MSI-related pain and discomfort. Results: The overall failure rate was 32.9%. The anterior and posterior MSIs failed 35.7% and 30.0% of the time, respectively. Excluding the 10 MSIs (12.2%) that were traumatically dislodged, the failure rates in the anterior and posterior sites were 30.1% and 15.2%, respectively; the overall primary failure rate was 23.6%. Failures were significantly (p= 0.010) greater (46.3% vs 19.5%) among the first 41 MSIs than the last 41 MSIs that were placed. Excluding the traumatically lost MSIs, the failures occurred on or before day 42. Subjects experienced very low pain (2.2% of maximum) and discomfort (5.5% of maximum) during the first week only. Conclusions: Shorter 3 mm MSIs placed by a novice operator are highly likely to fail. However, failure rates can be substantially decreased over time with the placement of more MSIs. Pain and discomfort experienced after placing 3 mm MSIs is minimal and temporary.

Abstract
Objectives:
The objectives of the study were to determine the association of gingival biotype and secondary stability of orthodontic mini-implants using resonance frequency analysis.
Materials and Methods:
Twenty patients, each receiving two mini-implants, were divided into two groups; thick and thin gingival biotype based on the thickness of gingiva before mini-implant placement. Implant stability was assessed at the time of placement; at the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th month by resonance frequency analysis. Peri-implant soft-tissue conditions were also examined at each month till 4 months interval using periodontal indices.
Results:
Thick and thin gingival biotype groups showed statistically different implant stability quotient (ISQ). Mini-implants showing signs of failure consistently displayed lesser ISQ. Statistically significant difference was observed in the scores of peri-implant indices of failure and no failure group of mini-implants.
Conclusion:
Mini-implants in thin gingival biotype are more susceptible to failure and peri-implantitis compared to thick gingival biotype. Longitudinal assessment of mini-implant stability may help predict failure so as to avoid long duration and cost of orthodontic treatment.

Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2020; 159:59-70. [PMID: 33221093 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajodo.2019.11.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2019] [Revised: 11/01/2019] [Accepted: 11/01/2019] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The primary objective of the study was to quantitatively analyze the width and height of the mandibular buccal shelf area (MBS) at 3 different potential locations for mini-implant placement. In addition, we aimed to compare and contrast the bone parameters of the MBS to study the correlation between different growth status (growing or nongrowing), facial types (hypodivergent, normodivergent, and hyperdivergent), and sex differences (male or female). METHODS In this retrospective cone-beam computed tomography study, 678 subjects were included. They were divided into groups according to growth status, facial type, and sex. Scans were imported into the reconstruction program and were aligned in 3 different steps. Measurements were made at 6 different coronal sections: mandibular first molar distal root, second molar mesial root, and second molar distal root (bilaterally). The roots of mandibular molars were used as a reference to measure the width and the roof of the inferior alveolar canal to measure the height of the buccal shelf area. Intraobserver reliability was assessed by measuring the width and height of MBS in 20 randomly selected subjects. RESULTS No significant difference (P > 0.05) was found in the width of MBS between males and females. MBS width increased, and height decreased (P < 0.0001) as moved distally from the first molar distal root to the second molar distal root in all 3 facial types irrespective of age or sex. The hypodivergent facial type had significantly greater bone width than the hyperdivergent facial type at all the 3 locations in both males and females. The hypodivergent facial type had significantly less (P < 0.0001) bone height than the hyperdivergent group at all the 3 locations irrespective of age or sex. CONCLUSIONS The optimal site for MBS mini-implant is the buccal region of the distal root of mandibular second molars. Hypodivergent patients have more width and less height of MBS compared with hyperdivergent patients. MBS mini-implants are not advised for growing patients because of proximity to developing roots.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Primary stability is required for successful use of microscrew. This study investigated correlations among biomechanical, morphological, and clinical values in relationship to root contact and different placement locations. MATERIALS/METHODS Thirty-three microscrews were placed between the molars (n = 18) or in the body of the mandible (n = 15) in three pigs. Insertion torque, Periotest, resonance frequency analysis (RFA), and static and dynamic stiffness were measured. Cone beam computed tomography was performed before and after the insertion of microscrews. Interproximal microscrews were divided into root contacted microscrews (n = 9) and non-root contact microscrews (n = 9). Factorial analysis of variance was conducted, with significance set at P < 0.05. RESULTS A significant difference was observed between bodily and root contacted microscrews in Periotest, RFA, static and dynamic stiffness, Tanδ, and bone density (RFA, P = 0.045; all others, P < 0.001). A significant difference was observed between bodily and non-root contact microscrews in Periotest, RFA, and bone density (RFA, P = 0.025; all others, P < 0.001). A significant difference was observed in static (P = 0.01) and dynamic (P = 0.038) stiffness between microscrews with and without contact. Dynamic stiffness (P = 0.02) and Tanδ (P = 0.03) showed significant correlations with Periotest results only in bodily microscrews. LIMITATIONS Since a pig bone was used, some differences in the quality and quantity of the bone might be observed between humans. CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS Stiffness values distinguished between microscrews with and without contact. Periotest and RFA results indicated that bodily microscrews were more stable than interproximal microscrews. Periotest and RFA may be useful with large, microscrews and/or in thick cortical bone, but further investigation is required to determine the stability of interproximal microscrews.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate bone depth, cortical bone thickness, and vestibulolingual bone dimension of the mandibular retromolar trigone and anterior ramus region to evaluate what are its most suitable sites for miniscrew insertion in adults. METHODS The sample included cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) records of 60 adult subjects retrospectively evaluated. All CBCT examinations were performed with the use of an i-CAT CBCT scanner (Imaging Sciences International). Each exam was converted into DICOM format and processed with the use of Osirix Medical Imaging software. On reproducible sagittal scan views, bone depth and cortical bone thickness were evaluated on specific lines parallel and at a 45° angle to the occlusal plane, and at 3 mm and at 6 mm distance from it. Vestibulolingual bone dimension was computed in 4 different cross-section scans and at 3 different levels of depth (0, 6, and 11 mm). RESULTS All of the considered insertion sites showed on average more than 10 mm of bone depth. Inferential statistics showed significantly (P <0.05) greater bone depth (+3 mm) in cross-sectional scans parallel to the occlusal plane compared with those at a 45° angle to it. Cortical bone thickness showed average values from 3 mm to 5 mm. Vestibulolingual bone dimension showed a significant (P <0.05) reduction (-10 mm) in the posterior region of retromolar region. No significant differences were found between subjects with and without third molars. CONCLUSIONS The retromolar trigone and anterior ramus region showed enough bone quantity and adequate bone quality for safe miniscrew insertion in adults.

Abstract
This study used resonance frequency (RF) analysis to assess miniscrew implant (MSI) stability during wound healing in a sample of 68 patients (41 women, 27 men; mean age, 27.7 years). The 104 MSIs included 66 placements in the buccal shelf (BS; 2.0 × 12 mm) and 38 placements in interradicular (IR; 1.5 × 8 mm) sites. Thirteen (12.5%) of the MSIs failed. A new RF detection device was used to measure RF at baseline (T0) and at 3 (T1), 6 (T2), 9 (T3), 12 (T4), and 15 (T5) weeks after placement. A linear mixed-effects model was fitted to change in RF values. As compared with the BS group, the IR group had significantly lower RF values on the right side from T0 through T4 and on the left side from T0 through T2. Insertion site and time of visit were significantly associated with RF value. The effects of time of visit significantly differed between the BS and IR sites. Starting from T0, the MSIs placed at both sites had significantly lower RF values at all intervals, except for T0-T1. Future studies should examine how the present clinical protocols can optimize timing of MSI loading to maximize the success rate.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To clarify the in vivo effect of an automatic embedding device on miniscrew stability. MATERIALS AND METHODS 42 miniscrews were implanted into rabbit femurs. The miniscrews with the novel auxiliary device formed the auxiliary group (n = 11 at 4 weeks; n = 11 at 8 weeks) and the miniscrews without the auxiliary device formed the nonauxiliary control group (n = 9 at 4 weeks; n = 11 at 8 weeks). Cortical bone thickness, distance from the cortical bone surface to the miniscrew head, and implantation depth of the spike were measured using micro-computed tomography. The mechanical retention force was evaluated by measuring the displacement of the miniscrew head after it was loaded perpendicular to its long axis. In the lateral displacement test, effects of the auxiliary (with vs without auxiliary), and time (4 vs 8 weeks) were assessed using the Brunner-Langer nonparametric analysis of longitudinal data in factorial experiments. RESULTS The mean implantation depth of the spike in the auxiliary group at 4 and 8 weeks was 0.28 mm (median: 0.33; SD: 0.12) and 0.37 mm (median: 0.33; SD: 0.19), respectively. The retention force was approximately 2.0 to 2.8 and 1.6 to 1.8 times greater in the auxiliary group than in the nonauxiliary group at 4 and 8 weeks, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The auxiliary device improved the mechanical retention force without the need to increase miniscrew length or diameter. This may enable the safe use of miniscrews in difficult areas.

Abstract
Objective This study was conducted to perform histomorphometric evaluations of the bone surrounding orthodontic miniscrews according to their proximity to the adjacent tooth roots in the posterior mandible of beagle dogs. Methods Four male beagle dogs were used for this study. Six orthodontic miniscrews were placed in the interradicular spaces in the posterior mandible of each dog (n = 24). The implanted miniscrews were classified into no loading, immediate loading, and delayed loading groups according to the loading time. At 6 weeks after screw placement, the animals were sacrificed, and tissue blocks including the miniscrews were harvested for histological examinations. After analysis of the histological sections, the miniscrews were categorized into three additional groups according to the root proximity: high root proximity, low root proximity, and safe distance groups. Differences in the bone–implant contact (BIC, %) among the root proximity groups and loading time groups were determined using statistical analyses. Results No BIC was observed within the bundle bone invaded by the miniscrew threads. Narrowing of the periodontal ligament space was observed in cases where the miniscrew threads touched the bundle bone. BIC (%) was significantly lower in the high root proximity group than in the low root proximity and safe distance groups. However, BIC (%) showed no significant differences among the loading time groups. Conclusions Regardless of the loading time, the stability of an orthodontic miniscrew is decreased if it is in contact with the bundle bone as well as the adjacent tooth root.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of low-intensity laser therapy on mini-implant stability using resonance frequency analysis during canine retraction with fixed appliances. DESIGN A split-mouth randomised clinical trial. SETTING Subjects were recruited and treated in the outpatient clinic, Department of Orthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Cairo University. PARTICIPANTS Fifteen subjects with mean age 20.9 (±3.4) years who required extraction of maxillary first premolar teeth and mini-implant-supported canine retraction. METHODS Thirty orthodontic mini-implants were inserted bilaterally in the maxillary arches of recruited subjects following alignment and levelling. Mini-implants were immediately loaded with a force of 150 g using nickel titanium coil springs with split-mouth randomisation to a low-intensity laser-treated side and control side. The experimental sides were exposed to low-intensity laser therapy from a diode laser with a wavelength of 940 nm at (0, 7, 14, 21 days) after mini-implant placement. Mini-implant stability was measured using resonance frequency analysis at (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 weeks) after implant placement. RESULTS A total sample of 28 mini-implants were investigated with 14 in each group. Clinically, both mini-implant groups had the same overall success rate of 78.5%. There were no significant differences in resonance frequency scores between low-intensity laser and control sides from baseline to week 2. However, from week 3 to 10, the low-intensity laser sides showed significantly increased mean resonance frequency values compared to control (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Despite evidence of some significant differences in resonance frequency between mini-implants exposed to low-intensity laser light over a 10 weeks period there were no differences in mini-implant stability. Low-intensity laser light cannot be recommended as a clinically useful adjunct to promoting mini-implant stability during canine retraction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES This study investigated the biomechanical properties and bone-implant intersurface response of machined and laser surface-treated stainless steel (SS) mini-screw implants (MSIs). MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty-eight 1.3mm in diameter and 6mm long SS MSIs were divided into two groups. The control (machined surface) group received no surface treatment; the laser-treated group received Nd-YAG laser surface treatment. Half in each group was used for examining surface roughness (Sa and Sq), surface texture, and facture resistance. The remaining MSIs were placed in the maxilla of six skeletally mature male beagle dogs in a randomized split-mouth design. A pair with the same surface treatment was placed on the same side and immediately loaded with 200 g nickel-titanium coil springs for 8 weeks. After killing, the bone-implant contact (BIC) for each MSI was calculated using micro computed tomography. Analysis of variance model and two-sample t test were used for statistical analysis with a significance level of P <0.05. RESULTS The mean values of Sa and Sq were significantly higher in the laser-treated group compared with the machined group (P <0.05). There were no significant differences in fracture resistance and BIC between the two groups. LIMITATION animal study CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS Laser treatment increased surface roughness without compromising fracture resistance. Despite increasing surface roughness, laser treatment did not improve BIC. Overall, it appears that medical grade SS has the potential to be substituted for titanium alloy MSIs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the initial failure rate (≤4 months) for extra-alveolar mandibular buccal shelf (MBS) miniscrews placed in movable mucosa (MM) or attached gingiva (AG). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 1680 consecutive stainless steel (SS) 2 × 12-mm MBS miniscrews were placed in 840 patients (405 males and 435 females; mean age, 16 ± 5 years). All screws were placed lateral to the alveolar process and buccal to the lower first and second molar roots. The screw heads were at least 5 mm superior to the soft tissue. Loads from 8 oz-14 oz (227 g-397 g, 231-405 cN) were used to retract the mandibular buccal segments for at least 4 months. RESULTS Overall, 121 miniscrews out of 1680 (7.2%) failed: 7.31% were in MM and 6.85% were in AG (statistically insignificant difference). Failures were unilateral in 89 patients and bilateral in 16. Left side (9.29%) failures was significantly greater (P < .001) compared with those on the right (5.12%). Average age for failure patients was 14 ± 3 years. CONCLUSION MBS miniscrews were highly successful (approximately 93%), but there was no significant difference between placement in MM or AG. Failures were more common on the patient's left side and in younger adolescent patients. Having 16 patients with bilateral failures suggests that a small fraction of patients (1.9%) are predisposed to failure with this method.

Abstract
Orthognathic surgical treatment conventionally relies on the use of full arch fixed orthodontic appliances. However, the introduction of orthodontic mini-implants has altered surgical options in terms of providing an alternative to fixation (intermaxillary fixation, IMF) screws and even to maxillary osteotomy. This paper describes the integration of mini-implants within orthognathic treatments in terms of 'surgery first' treatments and by introducing the concept of the conversion of bimaxillary cases into mandible-only surgery treatments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the changes of mini-implant stability over the initial healing period in humans. MATERIAL AND METHODS A sample of 19 consecutively treated patients (mean age 15.5 ± 7.3 years) was examined. In each patient, a mini-implant of a size of 2 × 9 mm was inserted into the anterior palate. Implant stability was assessed using resonance frequency analysis (RFA) immediately after insertion (T0), 2 weeks later (T1), 4 weeks later (T2), and 6 weeks later (T3). Insertion depth (ID) and the maximum insertion torque (IT) were measured. Data were tested for correlations between RFA, ID, and IT. All RFA values were tested for statistically significant differences between the different times. RESULTS The mean ID was 7.5 ± 0.6 mm, and the mean IT was 16.8 ± 0.6 Ncm. A correlation was found between RFA and ID (r = .726, P < .0001), whereas no correlations between RFA and IT or between IT and ID were observed. From T0 to T1, the stability (36.1 ± 6.1 implant stability quotient [ISQ]) decreased nonsignificantly by 4.9 ± 6.1 ISQ values (P > .05). Between T1 and T2, the stability decreased highly significantly (P < .001) by 7.9 ± 5.9 ISQ values. From T2 on, RFA remained nearly unchanged (-1.7 ± 3.5 ISQ; P > .05). CONCLUSIONS Mini-implant stability is subject to changes during the healing process. During weeks 3 and 4, a significant decrease of the stability was observed. After 4 weeks, the stability did not change significantly.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the success rate of mini-implants and its characteristics and risk factors by survival analyses.
METHODS: Three hundred and ninety-four mini-implants of the same type were placed by a single clinician. Age, gender, treatment duration, time of failure, side and jaw of implantation and the soft tissue at placement site were recorded. Odds ratio, survival curves, and Cox proportional hazard model were applied to evaluate the factors influencing the mini-implants’ success rate.
RESULTS: The cumulative success rate was 88.1%. The maxilla had a significantly higher success rate than that of the mandible (91.7% vs 83.7%, respectively, P = 0.019). Placement of mini-implants in the attached gingiva (AG) showed a higher success rate than that of the mucogingival junction (MGJ) and mucous membrane (MM) (AG, 94.3%; MGJ, 85.8%; MM, 79.4%; P < 0.001). Significant association was found between the jaw and the gingival tissue type (P < 0.001). There were no significant differences between maxilla and mandible when compared within each placement site.
CONCLUSION: The gingival tissue type had the most significant effect on the success rate of the mini-implant with higher success rate in the attached gingiva.
