Biomechanical influences on bone structure play an important role in the longevity of bone around an implant. The quantity and direction of applied force influence the implant and cause deformation of the bone. FEA was used to analyze the changes in the bone on loading the implant with orthodontic force in oblique and vertical directions and orthopedic force. The Mini-implants used in the prese...

AIM Evaluation of some morphological oral aspects perceived as decision factors in complete edentulism treatment by mini-implants overdenture. PATIENTS, MATERIAL AND METHODS An observational study was conducted on a sample of 24 patients (average age of 61 years), through clinical and imagistic methods. The variables taken into consideration were: age, gender, alveolar mucosa status, bone off...

Objectives: This research was conducted to evaluate the surface topography, elemental composition and manufacturing defects of two brands mini-implants commonly used in India. Clinical significance derived based on data this research. Materials methods: 15 orthodontic each from Scanning electron microscope imaging head, transmucosal neck, body, tip done assess mini-implant topography (n=15/grou...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of the inter-radicular septum width in the insertion site of self-drilling mini-implants on the stability degree of these anchorage devices. Methods: The sample consisted of 40 mini-implants inserted in the inter-radicular septum between maxillary second premolars and first molars in 21 patients to provide skeletal anchorage for...

Objective. This study aimed to evaluate effects of type 1 diabetes mellitus and mini-implant placement method on the primary stability of mini-implants by comparing mechanical stability and microstructural/histological differences. Methods. After 4 weeks of diabetic induction, 48 mini-implants (24 self-tapping and 24 self-drilling implants) were placed on the tibia of 6 diabetic and 6 normal ra...

PURPOSE Despite the high success rates of endosseous dental implants, their placement is restricted according to the height and volume of bone available. The use of short or mini dental implants could be one way to overcome this limitation. Thus, this study aimed to compare standard, short, and mini dental implants with regard to associated clinical parameters and peri-implant crevicular fluid ...

In prosthetic dentistry the quality of life patients with tooth loss have been significantly enhanced use dental implants likewise in Orthodontics mini has instrumental expanding envelope treatment possibility. The incorporation into orthodontic planning allowed for predictable anchorage control and increased ability to correct severe skeletal discrepancies. Despite great interest Mini Implants...

INTRODUCTION The thickness of cortical bone is an important factor in mini-implant stability. In this study, we investigated the buccal cortical bone thickness of every interdental area as an aid in planning mini-implant placement. METHODS From the cone-beam computed tomography scans of 30 dry skulls, 2-dimensional slices through every interdental area were generated. On these, cortical bone ...

PURPOSE The aim of this prospective clinical study was to assess the risk factors associated with failure of mini-implants used for orthodontic anchorage. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 140 mini-implants in 44 patients, including 48 miniplates and 92 freestanding miniscrews, were examined in the study. A variety of orthodontic loads were applied. The majority of implants were placed in the ...
