Objectives: To find out success rate of mini-implants based on side insertion and type jaw. The aim orthodontic treatment is to maintain sufficient anchorage control create appropriate force systems that provide the desired effects. Implants have been used as skeletal devices for purposes. Material Methods: following study a systematic review mini-screws an intervention evaluate stability diffe...

Scaphotrapeziotrapezoid (STT) joint osteoarthritis accounts for 13% of all wrist arthritis cases. The arthroscopic treatment combines radial midcarpal portal and STT portal called 1-2 midcarpal portal. We performed 13 isolated resections from the scaphoid distal pole. Patients were only women (average age, 58 years). Pain, mobility, and muscular strength improved significantly. At the same time...

Die Cochlear Implant (CI)-Operation ist bei Taubheit als Standardbehandlung anerkannt und wird zunehmend zur Behandlungvhochgradiger Schwerhörigkeit durchgeführt. Weltweit wurden bereits mehr als 150.000 Implantate eingesetzt. Das Bestreben nach der Verkleinerung des Zugangsweges hat die Verminderung der Operationsdauer, der operationsbedingten Morbidität und dadurch die Verminderung des Kranke...

proposed for use as skeletal anchorage in orthodontic treatment.1-5 In 1992, Wehrbein and colleagues, in collaboration with the Straumann Institute, introduced the Orthosystem*—a sandblasted, chemically treated mini-implant that is narrower (3.3mm), but longer (4mm or 6mm), than previous types.6-9 More recently, Giancotti and colleagues showed a step-by-step procedure for insertion of the Strau...

This case report presents a completely edentulous patient with severe ridge resorption who was not satisfied with his new mandibular complete denture. Three mini dental implants were placed to retain and improve the stability of his mandibular denture. In addition, a technique was employed to incorporate a metal framework into the existing implant overdenture.

OBJECTIVE To assess whether palatal mini-implants are effective as direct anchorage for distal movement of the upper molars. METHODS It was used an acrylic model of the upper dental arch. After making a groove in the region corresponding to dental alveolus, acrylic teeth were fixed in this groove with #7 wax, with the roots being previously immersed in adhesive wax. The orthodontic appliance ...

INTRODUCTION In this article, we systematically reviewed the literature to quantify success and complications encountered with the use of mini-implants for orthodontic anchorage, and to analyze factors associated with success or failure. METHODS Computerized and manual searches were conducted up to March 31, 2008, for clinical studies that addressed these objectives. The selection criteria re...

AIM This study sought to compare the fracture resistance of three trademarked orthodontic mini-implants in the transmucosal profile region. Thirty-six mini-implants of three different brands, separated into groups I, II and III, were tested. Each group consisted of 12 mini-implants of 6 mm in length. The mean diameter and length of the transmucosal profile of the mini-implants were 1.90 and 2.0...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the bacterial seal at the implant-abutment interface using two morse taper implant models, by means of an in vitro microbiological analysis. For that were used 15 implants with mini-abutments tightened by friction, no screws (Group 1); and 30 implants with screw-tightened abutments, of which 15 received 20 N.cm of closing torque (Group 2) and the othe...
