Abstract
Background/purpose Impaction of permanent second molar (PM2) is found occasionally. This study tried to explore the risk factors associated with the impacted PM2 teeth and show how to use different treatment modalities to correct the impaction of PM2 teeth. Materials and methods This study used three cases of PM2 impaction to show how to identify the risk factors of PM2 impaction and how to remove these risk factors to facilitate the eruption of impacted PM2 teeth to the correct occlusal positions. Results The first and second cases both showed delayed eruptions of two maxillary PM2 teeth. After resection of the dense fibrotic gingival tissues on the tooth eruption pathway, these two impacted maxillary PM2 teeth finally erupted to the normal occlusal positions by their inherent tooth eruption potential. The second case also had mesioangular impaction of two mandibular PM2 teeth. After odontectomy of teeth 38 and 48, the two impacted mandibular PM2 teeth also erupted to the normal occlusal positions by their inherent tooth eruption potential. The third case had impaction of teeth 17, 27 and 47. After extraction of four third molars and four selected premolars, orthodontic mesialization of four permanent first molars, and orthodontic traction using a mini-screw, the three impacted teeth finally erupted to the normal occlusal positions. Conclusion We conclude that after removing the obstacles on the tooth eruption pathway, the impacted PM2 teeth usually can erupt to their normal occlusal positions by their inherent tooth eruption potential with or without the assistance of orthodontic traction.

Abstract
This article describes a class II subdivision malocclusion successfully treated by an invisible lingual appliance. The combination of en-masse distalization by interradicular palatal mini-screws and inner unilateral class II auxiliaries, first by intermaxillary elastic, later by a class II coil spring, resulted in a dento-alveolar correction, allowing one to maintain the appliance completely invisible. At the same time, the inclination of buccal sectors was normalized by a correct torque expression with set-up overcorrections, resulting in a significant improvement of the buccal corridors. This case report demonstrates the possibility of successfully solving class II division 2 subdivision malocclusion in adult patients without surgery by means of a completely invisible appliance. It also demonstrates that correct levelling and torque expression, for the correction of asymmetrical Spee and Wilson curves, are achievable with an accurate set-up planning. On the other hand, it underlines the necessity of mini-screws, auxiliaries and set-up overcorrections in order to obtain the best results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This retrospective study aimed to analyze the anatomical structure of the mandibular buccal shelf (MBS) in adolescents and adults with different vertical patterns to determine the optimal location for miniscrew insertion in orthodontic treatment. METHODS Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of 230 patients were utilized for measurements. The morphology and thickness of alveolar bone at the MBS were measured. Two-way ANOVA and regression analysis were conducted to analyze the influencing factors on alveolar bone and cortical bone thickness. RESULTS Age had a significant effect on alveolar bone thickness (level I: F = 62.449, level II: F = 18.86, p < 0.001), cortical bone thickness (level II: F = 18.86, p < 0.001), alveolar bone tilt (F = 6.267, p = 0.013), and second molar tilt (F = 6.693, p = 0.01). Different vertical patterns also influenced alveolar bone thickness (level I: F = 20.950, level II: F = 28.470, p < 0.001), cortical bone thickness (level I: F = 23.911, level II: F = 23.370, p < 0.001), and alveolar bone tilt (F = 27.046, p < 0.001). As age increased, the alveolar bone thickness at level I decreased by 0.096 mm and at level II decreased by 0.073 mm. Conversely, the thickness of alveolar bone at level I and level II increased by 0.06 mm and 0.075 mm, respectively. The cortical bone thickness at level I and level II increased by 0.024 mm and 0.29 mm, respectively. However, the alveolar bone thickness decreased by 0.931 mm and 1.545 mm at level I and level II, and the cortical bone thickness decreased by 0.542 mm and 0.640 mm at level I and level II, respectively. CONCLUSION Age, different vertical patterns, alveolar bone inclination, and different shapes of MBS significantly affected the thickness of alveolar bone and cortical bone in the MBS area. Notably, only alveolar bone thickness and cortical bone thickness at level II were affected by age and different vertical patterns simultaneously. These findings can provide valuable insights for orthodontic practitioners in selecting the most suitable location for miniscrew insertion during treatment planning.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of mini-screw placement on the alveolar ridge using a split-mouth design. Twelve beagles underwent bilateral extraction of their lateral teeth. In the immediate group, a mini-screw was unilaterally placed approximately 3-4 mm below the alveolar crest of the extraction site on the experimental side. The delayed group received mini-screws six weeks after tooth extraction. On average, the dogs were sacrificed after 11 weeks, and the maxillary bones were excised and scanned using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Histopathological examinations were conducted to assess inflammation and bone formation scores. The results showed that in the immediate group, bone height was significantly greater on the intervention side compared to the control side (p < 0.05), whereas there was no significant difference in the delayed group. In both groups, there was a significant increase in bone density around the mini-screws compared to the control sides (p < 0.05). Mini-screw insertion led to a significant enhancement of bone growth in both groups (p < 0.05), with no notable differences between the two groups. The mini-screws did not have any impact on bone inflammation or width. Overall, both immediate and delayed mini-screw placement in the extraction socket positively influenced bone dimensions, density, and histological properties. However, immediate insertion was more effective than delayed placement in preserving vertical bone height, despite delayed insertion resulting in higher bone density.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders are closely related to high-angle and skeletal Class II malocclusion. Sometimes pathological changes in the mandibular condyle can cause open bite to occur after growth is complete.
CASE SUMMARY This article is about the treatment of an adult male patient with a severe hyperdivergent skeletal Class II base, an unusual and gradually occurring open bite and an abnormal mandibular condyle anterior displacement. Because the patient refused surgery, four second molars with cavities and root canal therapy were extracted, and four mini-screws were used for intrusion of the posterior teeth. The treatment duration was 22 mo, and after the treatment, the open bite was corrected and the displaced mandibular condyles were seated back to the articular fossa as shown by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Based on the patient’s open bite history, the result of clinical examinations and CBCT comparisons, we believe it is possible that the occlusion interference was eliminated after the four second molars were extracted and the posterior teeth were intruded, and the patient's condyle spontaneously returned to its physiologic position. Finally, a normal overbite was established, and stable occlusion was achieved.
CONCLUSION This case report suggested that identifying the cause of open bite is essential, and the TMJ factors for hyperdivergent skeletal Class II cases should be particularly examined. For these cases, intruding posterior teeth may place the condyle in a more appropriate position and provide an environment suitable for TMJ recovery.

Abstract
With a limited alveolar bone position, there is a high risk that mini-screws (MS) implants could cause damage to the adjacent teeth. To reduce this damage, the position and tilt angle of the MS must be optimized. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of MS implantation angle on the stress exerted on adjacent periodontal membrane and roots. A three-dimensional finite element model containing dentition, periodontal ligament, jaw and MS were established based on the CBCT images and MS scanning data. The MS was first inserted perpendicular to the surface of the bone at specific locations and then tilted at an angle of 10° and 20° to the mesial and distal teeth, respectively. The stress distribution in the periodontal tissue of the adjacent teeth was analyzed after MS implantation at different angles.The stress on the adjacent tooth root and periodontal ligament was most uniformly distributed when the MS was inserted vertically. It changed 9.4-97.7% when the axis of MS was tilted at 10-degree and 20-degree angles from the point of vertical insertion. The stresses experienced by the periodontal ligament and the root are similar. When the horizontal angle of the MS insertion was changed, the MS was closer to the adjacent tooth, resulting in greater stress near the PDL and root. It was recommended to insert the MS vertically into the alveolar bone surface to avoid root damage due to excessive stress.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Present Finite-element-method (FEM) study evaluates the stress distribution values at the Temporomandibular-Joint (TMJ) during en-masse retraction of the mandibular dentition using buccal shelf bone screws with varying magnitudes of forces. MATERIAL AND METHODS Nine replicas of a pre-existing three-dimensional finite element model of the craniofacial skeleton and articular disc from Cone-Beam-Computed-Tomography (CBCT) data and Magnetic-Resonance-Imaging (MRI) data of a patient were used. Buccal shelf (BS) bone screws were inserted buccal to the mandibular second molar region. Forces of magnitudes 250 gm, 350 gm and 450 gm were applied through NiTi coil springs along with stainless-steel archwires of sizes 0.016 × 0.022-inch, 0.017 × 0.025-inch and 0.019 × 0.025-inch. RESULTS On the articular disc, the maximum stress was observed at the inferior region and the inferior part of the anterior and posterior zone at all force levels. The stress on the articular disc and displacement of teeth increased with increase in force levels in all the 3 archwires. The maximum stress at the articular disc and displacement of teeth was observed for 450 gm force and the least for 250 gm force. No significant difference in the amount of displacement of teeth or the stresses produced at the articular disc was seen with increasing the size of the archwire. CONCLUSION With the present FEM study, we can deduce that it is better to use forces of lower levels on patients with temporomandibular-disorders (TMD) so as to reduce the stresses produced at the TMJ to avoid worsening of the TMD condition.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Molar protraction can be used in several clinical situations. It provides a real service to the patient, when it makes it possible to replace an implant, for example, or in case of a very damaged molar compared to the patient’s age. MATERIAL AND METHOD In this article, the authors describe the different molar mesialization systems in the vestibular multi-attachment technique, outlining the biomechanics of each. DISCUSSION The mini-screws introduction in the practices has made it possible to improve the anchorage management, which is essential in this therapy. However, it is not always offered, depending on the patient’s wishes, but also sometimes of the orthodontist’s. CONCLUSION The different biomechanical situations analyzed each have their own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. A methodical reflection must lead the practitioner to choose the system that suits him, according to his experience and practice, in order to implement this therapy for the well-being of his patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyze the biomechanical system of anterior retraction with clear aligner therapy (CAT) with and without an anterior mini-screw and elastics. MATERIALS AND METHODS Models including a maxillary dentition (without first premolars), maxilla, periodontal ligaments (PDLs), attachments, and aligners were constructed and imported to finite element software. Three model groups were created: (1) control (CAT alone), (2) labial elastics (CAT with elastics between the anterior mini-screw and buttons on central incisors), and (3) linguoincisal elastics (CAT with elastics between the anterior mini-screw and precision cuts on the lingual sides of the aligner). Elastic forces (0-300 g, in 50 g increments) were applied. RESULTS CAT alone caused lingual tipping and extrusion of the incisors. Labial elastics caused palatal root torquing and intrusion and mesial tipping of the central incisors, while linguoincisal elastics produced palatal root torquing and intrusion of both central and lateral incisors. Second premolars were intruded in all three groups, with less intrusion in the linguoincisal elastics group. For the control group, stress was concentrated on both labial and lingual root surfaces, alveolar ridge, and cervical and apical PDLs. Stress was more concentrated in the labial elastics group and less concentrated in the linguoincisal elastics group. CONCLUSIONS CAT produced lingual tipping and extrusion of incisors during anterior retraction. Anterior mini-screws and elastics can achieve incisor intrusion and palatal root torquing. Linguoincisal elastics are superior to labial elastics with a lower likelihood of buccal open bite. Root resorption and alveolar defects may occur in CAT, more likely for labial elastics and less likely for linguoincisal elastics.

Abstract
Backgroud Open reduction and internal fixation is the standard treatment for a displaced medial malleolus fracture (MMFx), achieving ankle stability and bony union to prevent post-traumatic arthritis. Previous fixation techniques including tension band wiring and unicortical screw fixation are not optimal for fixation of small fragments in MMFx due to their small size and poor manipulability. Here, we describe a novel surgical method using mini-screws only for fixation of small fragments in MMFx. Methods We conducted a retrospective consecutive study of patients who underwent surgery using mini-screws for small fragment MMFx between April 2013 and March 2018. We reviewed the patients' clinical characteristics and assessed the fracture features radiographically. Clinical outcomes were assessed by measuring the range of motion of both ankle joints and investigating symptomatic implants. We reviewed the radiographic outcomes of the medial malleolus and the functional outcomes using the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) at the last follow-up. Results Nine patients were included in the study. The minimal follow-up period was 27 months. There was no incidental bone breakage during the procedure. All MMFx healed without reduction loss, nonunion, or implant failure at the last follow-up. Two patients had mild osteoarthritic changes of the ankle joint. The mean FAOS score of the patients was 80.99 (range, 65.44–98.42). No patients required removal of the hardware. Conclusions Fixation of comminuted fractures of the medial malleolus using mini-screws for young adult patients is a straightforward and simple technique. Safe fixation of the anterior and posterior colliculi reduces the risk of implant irritation symptoms that necessitate implant removal.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the effects of two different force magnitudes on maxillary posterior segment intrusion using mini-screws. The null hypothesis was that there would be no difference between the two force magnitudes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Adult patients with skeletal open bite and a dental open bite ranging from 3 to 8 mm were recruited for this trial. The comparator group had 200 g of intrusive force applied for posterior segment intrusion, whereas 400 g of force was applied in the intervention group. Primary outcomes were the amount of posterior teeth intrusion and anterior open bite closure. RESULTS Twenty-two subjects were randomized to include 11 participants in each group. One participant dropped out in each group, leaving us with 10 subjects to be analyzed per group. There was statistically significant posterior teeth intrusion of 2.42 ± 2.06 and 2.26 ± 1.87 mm for the comparator and intervention groups, respectively, with no difference between them. Statistically significant open bite closure was achieved in both groups, measuring 2.24 ± 1.18 and 3.15 ± 1.06 mm in the comparator and intervention groups, respectively, with no difference between them. CONCLUSIONS Both the 200 g and 400 g intrusive forces yielded similar outcomes in terms of posterior teeth intrusion and anterior open bite closure.

Abstract
Rapid palatal expansion (RPE) is commonly used to correct transverse maxillary deficiencies and recognized as a reliable orthopedic procedure in children and adolescents. For adults, however, conventional RPE has been considered rarely successful and can produce undesirable dental effects. Along with the development of digital techniques and mini-implant anchorage, a novel method called miniscrew-assisted RPE (MARPE) has become available for the treatment of maxillary transverse deficiency in older patients recently. In this article, the biomechanical principles and indications of MARPE, the advances in device design, the clinical effects, the matters needing attention and limitations of this method, and the stability after expansion are discussed.

Abstract
Mini-screw assisted lower molar distalization was planned for a present mild Class III malocclusion case. Two mini-screws were inserted into the available inter-root area: one on the left, and the other on the right side in the posterior region in the mandible. Distalization of lower molars, premolars and canines were achieved. Orthodontic treatment lasted approximately 2.5 years with 1 year of molar distalization. Minimal relapse was seen in the postretention period. Dentoalveolar changes with mini-screw assisted lower molar distalization are reported in the present case.

Abstract
Crowding and protrusion of the dentition are often the chief complaint of orthodontic patients. For patients with severe crowding or protrusion, orthodontist often improve their profile with premolar extraction treatment. However, for patients with mild crowding and protrusion, orthodontist usually achieve treatment objective using distal molar movement with temporary anchorage devices (TAD). The present article reviewed the advances in the use of TAD in total arch distalization, including therapeutic effect measured in three-dimensions, factors that affected distal movement and the stability of curative effect.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the soft and hard tissue morphology in the infrazygomatic crest zone by observing the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans in patients with mini-implants. Methods: CBCT scans of 43 patients performed from January 2014 to December 2016 in the Department of Stomatology, Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, with 84 existing mini-implants in the infrazygomatic crest region were collected. The bone thickness and cortical bone thickness were measured in the palatal and buccal side of the mini-implant. The maxillary sinus membrane thickness, sinus septa, reverse fold, and the sinus opening angle were also determined and analyzed in the maxillary posterior region. Results: The bone thicknesses in the buccal and palatal side of the existing mini-implant were 2.5 (1.5, 3.2) and 5.2 (4.0, 6.4) mm, respectively. However, the corresponding cortical bone thicknesses were only 2.1 (1.3, 2.8) and 1.5 (1.0, 1.9) mm, respectively. The prevalences of the septa and the reverse fold were 33% (28/84) and 45% (38/84), respectively. The sinus opening angle was the largest in the mid-coronal plane of the maxillary first molar (71.6°±15.6°). In the coronal plane located at 10 mm mesially, the angle was the smallest (46.1°±18.0°), and in this area, 20% (16/82) of the angle was less than 30°. Conclusions: The outer cortical plate of the infrazygomatic crest along with the cortical plate of sinus floor could be related to the initial stability of mini-implant anchorage. The anatomic variation such as the reverse fold indicated thorough consideration of insertion depth and angle to avoid unexpected sinus injury.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the transverse displacement, stress distribution and tendency of change in tooth, alveolar bone and mid-palatal suture using three kinds of rapid maxillary expansion methods. Methods: Cone-beam CT image data was obtained by scanning skulls of a volunteer. Three-dimensional models of maxillary complex were re-established using Mimics and Geomagic Studio and models of Hyrax expander, Haas expander and miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expander (MARPE) were established using ANSYS Workbench. Stress distribution, displacement and tendency of change in tooth, alveolar bone and mid-palatal suture were evaluated. Results: Hyrax expander brought 0.105 mm lateral displacement of crown, 0.022 mm mid-palatal suture width increase, wedge opening and clockwise rotation tendency of maxilla. Haas expander created uniform stress distribution, 0.216 mm lateral displacement of crown, and 0.031 mm mid-palatal suture width increase. In MARPE model, the lateral displacement of crown was 0.267 mm, and mid-palatal suture width increased 0.315 mm. The maximum of mid-palatal suture expansion and stress distribution appeared in the middle region, and maxilla had tendency of counterclockwise rotation. Conclusions: The lateral changes of teeth and bones brought by MARPE were the most significant. Haas expander had some advantages in comparison with Hyrax.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the buccal bone thickness, bone depth, and cortical bone depth of the mandibular buccal shelf (MBS) to determine the most suitable sites of the MBS for mini-screw insertion. MATERIALS AND METHODS The sample included cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) records of 30 adult subjects (mean age 30.9 ± 7.0 years) evaluated retrospectively. All CBCT examinations were performed with the i-CAT CBCT scanner. Each exam was converted into DICOM format and processed with OsiriX Medical Imaging software. Proper view sections of the MBS were obtained for quantitative and qualitative evaluation of bone characteristics. RESULTS Mesial and distal second molar root scan sections showed enough buccal bone for mini-screw insertion. The evaluation of bone depth was performed at 4 and 6 mm buccally to the cementoenamel junction. The mesial root of the mandibular second molar at 4 and 6 mm showed average bone depths of 18.51 mm and 14.14 mm, respectively. The distal root of the mandibular second molar showed average bone depths of 19.91 mm and 16.5 mm, respectively. All sites showed cortical bone depth thickness greater than 2 mm. CONCLUSIONS Specific sites of the MBS offer enough bone quantity and adequate bone quality for mini-screw insertion. The insertion site with the optimal anatomic characteristics is the buccal bone corresponding to the distal root of second molar, with screw insertion 4 mm buccal to the cementoenamel junction. Considering the cortical bone thickness of optimal insertion sites, pre-drilling is always recommended in order to avoid high insertion torque.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Various surgical modalities have been tried for the correction of chronic recurrent dislocation of the temporomandibular joint. However, most of these techniques are aimed at creating an artificial block or removing any interference in the path of the translating condyle. Chronic dislocation can also be classified as meniscotemporal and menisocondylar, depending upon whether the dislocation occurs between the condyle-disc unit and temporal bone (meniscotemporal), or between the disc and condyle (meniscocondylar). Very few procedures address the primary issue of a malpositioned disc, which is the cause of meniscocondylar dislocation. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was conducted on 17 patients (27 joints) who reported with chronic dislocation of the temporomandibular joint, with MRI-proven meniscocondylar dislocation. After exposure of the condyle and disc through a standard pre-auricular incision, an orthodontic mini-screw was fixed to the posterior aspect of the condylar head and a 1-0 Prolene suture passed through the screw-head eyelet, plicating the posterior edge of the disc to the condyle. This ensured that the condyle and disc would move in unison. RESULTS All the patients showed improvement in their symptoms of dislocation in the postoperative period, including seven patients in whom only a unilateral procedure was carried out. None of the patients had any recurrence till the 1-year followup. CONCLUSION Our procedure addresses the fundamental etiology of meniscocondylar dislocation by anchoring the disc to the condyle by using an orthodontic mini-implant and correcting the condyle-disc disharmony. This technique is reliable, technically feasible, and cost-effective in the Indian set up.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the success rates of the manual and motor-driven mini-screw insertion methods according to age, gender, length of mini-screws, and insertion sites. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 429 orthodontic mini-screw placements in 286 patients (102 in men and 327 in women) between 2005 and 2010 at private practice. Age, gender, mini-screw length, and insertion site were cross-tabulated against the insertion methods. The Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test was performed to compare the success rates of the 2 insertion methods. RESULTS The motor-driven method was used for 228 mini-screws and the manual method for the remaining 201 mini-screws. The success rates were similar in both men and women irrespective of the insertion method used. With respect to mini-screw length, no difference in success rates was found between motor and hand drivers for the 6-mm-long mini-screws (68.1% and 69.5% with the engine driver and hand driver, respectively). However, the 8-mm-long mini-screws exhibited significantly higher success rates (90.4%, p < 0.01) than did the 6-mm-long mini-screws when placed with the engine driver. The overall success rate was also significantly higher in the maxilla (p < 0.05) when the engine driver was used. Success rates were similar among all age groups regardless of the insertion method used. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, the motor-driven insertion method can be helpful to get a higher success rate of orthodontic mini-screw placement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The possibility of mini-screws reuse would reduce treatment cost. The aim of this study is to introduce a new method (application of phosphoric acid 37% for 10 minutes followed by sodium hypochlorite 5.25% for 30 minutes) for cleansing of mini-screws and assessing the efficacy of this method. The effects of this processing on the insertion, removal, and fracture torques of mini-screws were evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS This experimental study was done in two parts. In part I the amount of calcium ion on mini-screws surfaces as an index of tissue remnants was assessed. In part II of this study, the effects of previous use, processing method, and resterilization on the insertion, removal, and fracture torques of mini-screws were assessed. Each part of this study had 3 groups; non-processed used (NP), processed used (P), and as-received (C). Each group had 16 samples in part I and 20 samples. Non parametric statistical tests were used in part I and one way ANOVA in part II. RESULTS The mean amount of calcium ion in groups non-processed (NP1), processed (P1), and control (C1) were 4.7, 0.43, and 0.02 ppm, respectively. The amount of calcium ion in group NP1 was significantly greater than in the other groups (P = 0.000), but the difference between groups P1 and C1 was not significant (P = 0.087). The mean insertion torque of group NP2 was lower than that of other groups (P < 0.05) but P2 and C2 did not have significant differences (P = 0.988). The mean of removal and fracture torque did not have significant differences among all groups. CONCLUSION Cleaning of used mini-screws with phosphoric acid 37% (10 minutes) and sodium hypochlorite 5.25% (30 minutes) reduces tissue remnants to the level of as-received mini-screws. So it can be suggested as a processing method of used mini-screws. Previous insertion of mini-screws into the bone and above-mentioned processing method and resterilization with autoclave had no adverse effects on insertion, removal, and fracture torque values as mechanical properties indices.
