Background: Clinical guidelines are lacking for the use of orthodontic mini-implants (OMIs)
in terms of scientific evidence referring to the choice of proper mini-design. Thus, the present …

Orthodontic miniscrews (MSs) are used for enhancing orthodontic anchorage either by
supporting the teeth of the reactive unit or by obviating the need for the reactive unit …

This study investigated the correlation between bone characteristics, the design of
orthodontic mini-implants, the pull-out force, and primary stability. This experimental in vitro …

Background and aim Long-term edentulism associated with vertical loss of alveolar bone
might lead to increased suprastructure height. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of …

The study evaluated the clinical changes of orthodontic mini-implants (MI) inserted for the
purpose of anchoring during orthodontic treatment. The null hypotheses were: 1-that there is …

Background: The aim was to test which component [wire arm, connecting abutment
attachment, and orthodontic mini-implant (OMI)] of the force-transmitting system (FTS) in the …

Objectives: Assess the stability of three different mini-implants, based on thread shape factor
(TSF), and evaluate stresses at the mini-implant site and surrounding cortical bone on …

Aim This consecutive retrospective study compared Mini-implant Assisted Slow Palatal
Expansion (MASPE) with rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) using a bone-borne skeletal …

Purpose: Mechanical loosening remains a common complication associated with mini-
implant failure. The purpose of this study was to compare common mechanical measures of …

Evaluate the quality of finishing and degree of contamination before and after handling and
surface treatment of titanium (Ti) orthodontic mini-implants (OMIs). A scanning electron …
