Abstract
Anchorage is a challenge and essential issue for an orthodontist in determining the success of orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic anchorage is defined as resistance to unwanted tooth movement. Mini-implant is one of the devices that can be used as an anchor in orthodontic treatment. Many cases have reported successful treatment using mini-implant, but there are cases where mini-implants may fail. Failure of mini-implants can affect orthodontic treatment, and it is known that several factors may lead to mini-implant loss in orthodontic treatment. This systematic review aimed to determine the factors influencing mini-implant failure in orthodontic treatment. Articles were selected from electronic databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, The Cochrane Library, ScienceDirect) from January 2015 until 2023 according to the PRISMA method (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) under the PEOS (Population-Exposure-Outcome-StudyType) framework questions for systematic review. The study was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) database (CRD42022337684). All data collected were in English, and filtering was done by eliminating duplicate data, meta-analysis, case reports, case series, mini-reviews, and animal studies. The analysis was further divided into three groups, that is, patient-related, implant-related, and operator-related and operator-related (A graphical abstract provided as a Supplementary information [available in the online version]). Twenty-one articles were identified according to the inclusion criteria in the form of retrospective, prospective, in vivo, and randomized controlled trial studies. Mini-implant failures due to patient-related showed six etiological factors, failures due to implant-related had eight etiological factors, and only one factor was operator-related, which may lead to mini-implant failure. The data was extracted without a computerized system and only in English. Mini-implant failure can be caused by many factors; we could not accuse one major factor as a cause. However, the quality or condition of the bones and oral hygiene are factors that play a significant role in obtaining the stability of implants. Mini-implant failure is highly influenced by poor oral hygiene and peri-implant inflammation. Comprehensive diagnostic prior to mini-implant insertion should be appropriately considered. This systematic review describes several factors that can influence mini-implant failure, divided into three groups: patient-related, implant-related, and operator-related (A graphical abstract provided as a Supplementary information [available in the online version]).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to compare the efficiency of temporary anchorage devices (TADs) and fixed functional appliances (FFAs) for mandibular molar protraction. METHODS Orthodontic records of 1050 consecutively treated patients with molar protraction were screened. Thirty-six records (22 females and 14 males; mean age, 17.4 years) were divided into two groups: TAD (21 subjects with 25 edentulous spaces) and FFA (15 subjects with 24 edentulous spaces). The primary outcome measure was the efficiency of protraction [magnitude and time required for protraction (rate) and anchor loss (AL)]. The secondary outcomes involved measuring the type of tooth movement (TOTM), external apical root resorption (EARR), alveolar bone height change (ABHC), alveolar bone width change (ABWC) and appliance failure. RESULTS The rate of tooth movement was significantly higher for FFAs (0.83 ± 0.35 mm/month) versus TADs (0.49 ± 0.2 mm/month) (P = .005). Total treatment duration was less for FFAs (34.78 ± 8.1 months) versus TADs (47.72 ± 13.94 months) (P = .002). TOTM was similar for both (P = .909). EARR was 1.42 ± 1.38 mm for TAD and 1.25 ± 0.88 mm for FFA (P = .81). ABHC increased in the FFA group (1.01 ± 3.62 mm) and decreased for the TAD group (0.68 ± 1.66 mm). ABWC increased for both TAD (1.81 ± 1.73 mm) and FFA (1.75 ± 1.35 mm). The failure rate was 50% for FFAs and 33% for TADs. CONCLUSIONS Both systems provided translation of lower molars with comparable anchorage control. However, FFAs were more efficient than TADs for lower molar protraction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To create an orthodontic anchor screw (OAS)-loosening model and to investigate whether filling the bone hole with beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) can fix the OAS against orthodontic force. MATERIALS AND METHODS Bone holes with different diameters (1.6, 2.1, or 2.5 mm) were drilled in the tibias of 11-week-old male Wistar rats, and an OAS (3.0 mm in length and 1.2 mm in diameter) was inserted. After a healing period of 2 or 4 weeks, orthodontic force was applied, and the diameter of the bone hole appropriate for the loosening model was determined. Subsequently, under the loosening model, the bone hole was filled with β-TCP, orthodontic force was applied, and movement of the OAS and surrounding tissue changes were evaluated by micro-computed tomography images and histological specimen analysis. RESULTS The bone hole of 1.6 mm in diameter was employed as the OAS-loosening model. When β-TCP was inserted into the bone hole, the linear distance and mesial tipping angle of the OAS movement decreased markedly. Furthermore, the values of bone morphometry significantly increased with β-TCP filling. CONCLUSIONS An OAS-loosening model was established in rats and demonstrated that the loosening OAS was stabilized by β-TCP filling through bone formation. β-TCP may be useful for fixation of a loosening OAS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The phenomenon of orthodontic anchorage miniscrews loosening after being implanted several times happens in daily clinical practice, and the reasons need to be traced. This study aimed to investigate the underlying risk factors influencing the progressive susceptibility of orthodontic miniscrews to failure. METHODS Overall, 889 miniscrews were successively inserted into 347 patients because some loosened or fell off once, twice, or more before achieving their purposes. The number of miniscrew failures (ie, once, twice, or more) was defined as progressive susceptibility to failure. The clinical indicators were assessed via univariate analysis, multicollinearity diagnosis, and Poisson log-linear regression model with stepwise calculation to screen out. RESULTS The progressive susceptibility of miniscrews to failure was proved to be affected by the age of patients, the onset of force application, site of placement, and appliance type. Age and onset of force application presented a negative relationship with susceptibility. Miniscrews inserted in the palatal region appeared to be more stable than the forepart of the arch. In contrast, the retromaxillary and retromandibular areas obtained the lowest stability. The patients with fixed appliances were more unlikely to suffer progressive failure than removable appliances. In addition, the larger number of screws inserted in each patient, the greater probability of failure. CONCLUSIONS Younger people with removable appliances that miniscrews inserted in the retromaxillary or retromandibular regions and earlier onsets of loading had a higher progressive susceptibility to loosening. Meanwhile, the failure rate was elevated with the increasing number of screws per patient received.

Abstract
This study synthesized the scientific evidence concerning the main characteristics of the Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) used in orthodontics and reported the success-failure rates during treatment. For that means, this scoping review collected articles from previous research. A complementary search was carried out in the databases PubMed-MEDLINE, Scopus, LILACS, and EMBASE, focusing on original studies published from 2010 to 2020. We analyzed the main characteristics of the publications. As a result, 103 articles were included. Most of the research was conducted among different groups, who needed TADs principally in the maxilla and an interradicular location between the second premolar and first molar. AbsoAnchor, Dentos Inc., Daegu, Korea, was the most used brand of TADs. The most common characteristics of the devices and biomechanics were a diameter and length of 1.6 mm and 8 mm, a self-drilled system, a closed technique for placement, immediate loading, and forces that ranged between 40 and 800 g. Of the studies, 47.6% showed success rates ≥90%. In conclusion, high success rates were found for TADs, and differences were found according to sociodemographic and clinical variables. The studies showed variability in methodological design, and scientific publications were concentrated in certain countries. We recommend further scientific research on TADs using more standardized designs.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the stability of orthodontic anchor screws (OASs) in the mid-palatal area according to pre-drilling diameter. METHODS The success rate of 161 OASs (83 patients, φ2.0 mm, 6.0 mm in length) placed in a corresponding area to the mesial and distal borders of the first molar (mesial zone and distal zone) was assessed according to placement location and pre-drilling diameter (1.2 and 1.5 mm). Placement torque values from 73 OASs with a pre-drilling diameter of 1.2 mm were compared between success and failure groups. RESULTS The success rates of OASs pre-drilled with φ1.2 and 1.5 mm were 94.5% and 83.0%, respectively (P < 0.05); corresponding rates in the mesial zone were 100.0% and 77.3% (P < 0.005), and those in the distal zone were 89.2% and 88.6%, respectively. Placement torques of OASs predrilled with φ1.2 mm in the success and failure groups were 25.9 and 19.2 N·cm, respectively (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION A smaller pre-drilling diameter was associated with a higher success rate of OASs in the mid-palatal area, especially in the mesial zone. When pre-drilling diameter of 1.2 mm was used for φ2.0 mm OAS, greater placement torque was indicative of greater OAS stability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the primary stability of miniscrews after repeated cycles of insertion through insertion torque (IT) measurements and resonance frequency analysis (RFA). MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty titanium miniscrews were divided into two groups according to the insertion protocol: one with predrilled sites and the other self-drilled into porcine iliac crest bone specimens. Each group had three cycles of reinsertion. After each insertion, the IT and RFA were measured. The IT was measured by using a torque meter, and the RFA was measured using the Osstell ISQ device. A total of five miniscrews of each group were selected for sequential assessment of the morphology of their tip and threads using scanning electron microscopy after each insertion cycle. RESULTS No statistically significant differences were found in the IT values of miniscrews reinserted up to three times in the group with predrilled surgical sites. The IT value increased significantly with the number of reinsertions in the self-drilled group. The RFA value decreased as the number of insertions increased in both groups. CONCLUSIONS Under the conditions of this in vitro study, reinserting miniscrews deteriorates the integrity of their tip and thread. Reinsertion should be discouraged particularly when insertion sites are not predrilled.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Since palatal temporary skeletal anchorage devices (TSADs) have become important tools for orthodontic treatment, this narrative review was aimed to provide an updated and integrated guidelines for the clinical application of palatal TSADs. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION A narrative review article including researches on palatal TSADs in orthodontics related to anatomy, success rate and clinical application. MATERIALS AND METHODS The anatomical characteristics, success rate and its consideration factors and clinical application of palatal TSADs based on the direction of tooth movement were evaluated. RESULTS To improve the stability of TSADs, hard tissue factors such as bone depth, cortical bone thickness, bone density and soft tissue thickness were evaluated. Anatomically risky structures, including the nasopalatine foramen, canal and the greater palatine foramen, nerve, vessel need to be identified before placement. The success rate of palatal TSADs was greater than that of the buccal inter-radicular space. Palatal TSADs have been used for various purposes because they can control tooth movement in all directions and, three-dimensionally; their applications include the retraction of anterior teeth, protraction of posterior teeth, distalization, intrusion, expansion and constriction. They can be applied directly or indirectly to the lingual arch or transpalatal arch. Design modifications using splinted 2 miniscrews have been suggested. CONCLUSION Palatal TSADs allow clinicians to perform minimally invasive and easy placement with good stability by understanding the anatomical characteristics of the palatal region, and they show good control over 3-dimensional tooth movements in various clinical cases.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the primary stability of a two-miniscrew system inserted into a synthetic bone and to compare the system with the traditional one. Forty-five bi-layered polyurethane blocks were used to simulate maxillary cancellous and cortical bone densities. Samples were randomly assigned to three groups—one-miniscrew system (Group A, N = 23), two-miniscrew system (Group B, N = 22) and archwire-only (Group C, N = 10). A total of 67 new miniscrews were subdivided into Group A (23 singles) and Group B (22 couples). 30 mm of 19″ × 25″ archwires were tied to the miniscrew. The load was applied perpendicularly to the archwire. Maximum Load Value (MLV), Yield Load (YL) and Loosening Load (LL) were recorded for each group. The YL of Group B and C had a mean value respectively of 4.189 ± 0.390 N and 3.652 ± 0.064 N. The MLV of Group A, B and C had a mean value respectively of 1.871 ± 0.318N, of 4.843 ± 0.515 N and 4.150 ± 0.086 N. The LL of Group A and B had a mean value respectively of 1.871 ± 0.318 N and of 2.294 ± 0.333 N. A two- temporary anchorage device (TAD) system is on average stiffer than a one-TAD system under orthodontic loading.

Abstract
Since their introduction in the field of orthodontics, temporary anchorage devices (TADs) have been widely applied in the treatment of cases that have proven difficult to treat using conventional methods. Although TADs have broadened the scope of orthodontic treatment by modifying the envelope of discrepancy, whether they represent the ultimate solution in all cases remains controversial. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has recently been used to obtain three-dimensional images of the craniofacial skeleton and teeth. Thus, CBCT has clarified the three-dimensional morphology/configurations of structures that cannot be appropriately visualized using conventional imaging (i.e., cephalometric and panoramic radiographs). These structures include the incisive canal and maxillary sinus. In this review, I highlight the importance of understanding the mutual relationship between the roots of the maxillary teeth and these structures for diagnosis and treatment planning, as well as potential need to revise the envelope of discrepancy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to assess the thicknesses of maxillary and mandibular posterior buccal approximal attached gingiva at common miniscrew insertion sites, which has critical importance in determining miniscrew length, in subjects with different facial types. METHODS One hundred seventy-four subjects with no transversal skeletal discrepancy were included in this study. The facial types of these subjects were evaluated in the sagittal and vertical directions. In the sagittal direction, the subjects were assigned into 3 groups: skeletal Class I, II, and III. Also, each of these groups was divided into subgroups in the vertical direction: low angle, norm, and high angle. Transgingival probing was used to measure the thickness of the buccal attached gingiva. RESULTS The thickness of the buccal attached gingiva between the second premolar-first molar ranged from 1.18 ± 0.33 to 1.46 ± 0.28 mm and from 1.28 ± 0.30 to 1.58 ± 0.37 mm in the maxilla and mandible, respectively. The thickness of the buccal attached gingiva between the first-second molars ranged from 1.31 ± 0.41 to 1.60 ± 0.62 mm and from 1.36 ± 0.43 to 1.72 ± 0.52 mm in the maxilla and mandible, respectively. In terms of the thicknesses of the buccal attached gingiva of second premolar-first molar and first-second molars, no statistically significant difference was found between subjects with different facial types. CONCLUSIONS It was determined that the thicknesses of maxillary and mandibular posterior buccal approximal attached gingiva varied between 1.18-1.72. At this point, the insertion of miniscrews of 7-8 mm in length was recommended for maxillary and mandibular posterior buccal regions, in order to obtain adequate insertion depth.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the dynamics of alveolar bone formation and healing pattern after the removal of orthodontic temporary anchorage devices (TADs). METHODS Miniscrews (N = 32) were inserted into the buccal inter-radicular alveolar bone in beagle dogs. Afterward, miniscrews were removed at different time points during a 13-week period and six different in vivo fluorescent markers were injected at 1, 2, 6, 8, 10, and 12 weeks. Serial changes in bone apposition at the removal and intact control sites were evaluated using μCT, histology, and bone histomorphometry. RESULTS Gradual bone apposition at the TAD removal site was noted with bone volume/tissue volume (BV/TV) reaching the level of the control alveolar bone by 7 weeks. Histologically, newly formed woven bone was detected within the removal site which was distinct from the surrounding pre-existing alveolar bone at 13 weeks. Accelerated mineral apposition rate (MAR) and bone formation rate (BFR) were noted between 2 and 6 weeks in the removal site (P < 0.05). Although MAR and BFR gradually decreased after its peak at 2-4 weeks, BFR in the removal site was still higher than the control site at 10-12 weeks (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Spontaneous bone healing was noted after TAD removal with regional acceleration of MAR and BFR within 2-6 weeks. However, the removal site was mainly filled with woven bone even after 13 weeks, suggesting a longer healing period is required for the quality of the alveolar bone to reach levels comparable to the surrounding alveolar bone.
