[PMID: 37200455 PMCID: PMC10575636 DOI: 10.2319/010923-18.1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2023] [Accepted: 04/01/2023] [Indexed: 05/20/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify and analyze the 50 most cited articles on temporary anchorage devices (TADs) and investigate the achievement and development of scientific research about the topic through a bibliometric analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS On August 22, 2022, a computerized database search was performed to detect papers published in the scientific literature about TADs from 2012 to 2022. Metrics data were identified using the Incites Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics) data set. The Scopus database was used to obtain information on the authors' affiliations, country of origin, and h-index. Key words were automatically harvested from the selected articles to implement the visualized analysis. RESULTS From a total of 1858 papers screened by searching the database, a list of the top 50 most cited articles was created. The total number of citations collected by the 50 most cited articles in TADs was 2380. Among the 50 most cited articles on TADs, 38 were original research papers (76.0%) and 12 were reviews (24.0%). As shown by the key word-network analysis, Orthodontic anchorage procedure was identified as the larger node. CONCLUSIONS Findings of this bibliometric study showed an increasing number of citations for papers on TADs, accompanied by a simultaneous rise in scientific interest in this topic in the past decade. The present work identifies the most influential articles, emphasizing the journals, the authors, and the topics addressed.

Clin Exp Dent Res 2023; 9:596-605. [PMID: 37340755 PMCID: PMC10441601 DOI: 10.1002/cre2.757] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2023] [Revised: 05/27/2023] [Accepted: 06/09/2023] [Indexed: 06/22/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Anchorage control is one of the most important determinants of orthodontic treatments. Mini-screws are used to achieve the desired anchorage. Despite all their advantages, there is a possibility that treatment will not be successful due to conditions related to their interaction with the periodontal tissue. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the status of the periodontal tissue at the sites adjacent to the orthodontic mini-implants. METHODS A total of 34 teeth (17 case and 17 control) in 17 orthodontic patients requiring a mini-screw in the buccal area to proceed with their treatment were included in the study. Oral health instruction was provided to the patients prior to the intervention. In addition, scaling and root planing of the root surface were done using manual instruments and ultrasonic instruments if needed. For tooth anchorage, a mini-screw with Elastic Chain or Coil Spring was used. The following periodontal indices were examined in the mini-screw receiving tooth and the contralateral tooth: plaque index, pocket probing depth, attached gingiva level (AG), and gingival index. Measurements were made before the placement of the mini-screws and 1, 2, and 3 months following that. RESULTS The results revealed a significant difference only in the amount of AG between the tooth with mini-screw and the control tooth (p = 0.028); for other periodontal indices, there were no significant differences between the two groups. CONCLUSION This study showed that periodontal indices in adjacent teeth of the mini-screws do not change significantly compared to other teeth and mini-screws can be used as a suitable anchorage without posing a threat to the periodontal health. Using mini-screws is a safe intervention for orthodontic treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Miniscrews as auxiliary anchorage devices in orthodontic treatment have definite advantages and efficacy. The aim of the present study was to investigate the scientific evidence including randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or controlled clinical trials (CCTs) to support the application of low-level laser therapy to improve miniscrews stability in orthodontic treatment. METHODS An extensive literature research was conducted with the Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and ScienceDirect without language limitations. All searches were inclusive until June 2020. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool was used to assess the risk of bias (RoB) in the included RCTs. RESULTS Through the electronic searches, 428 titles and abstracts were identified. From these, 4 articles were retrieved for review, and 3 of these met the inclusion criteria. Two RCTs reported increased miniscrews stability with low-intensity laser therapy, but the other one reported no difference. Except one study assessed as "high risk of bias" the other two were rated as "low risk of bias". CONCLUSION There is insufficient evidence to support or refute the effectiveness of LLLT for improvement of miniscrew stability. Further studies with a better study design, reliable evaluation method, comprehensive evaluation intervals and appropriate loading protocol are required to provide more reliable evidence for the clinical application of LLLT.

Abstract
Objectives:
Anchorage preservation is crucial in orthodontic treatment success. Mini-implants make a revolution in this domain. The failure of orthodontic mini-implants due to inflammation and infection is one of the reasons for anchorage loss. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a novel mini-implant surface modification to improve resistance against microbial contamination and surrounding tissue inflammation.
Material and Methods:
Twenty-four orthodontic mini-implants (Jeil Medical Corporation, Korea) with 1.6 mm diameter and 8 mm length were randomly divided into three groups: Group 1: Control group, Group 2: Nanotubes were made on the surface with anodisation, and Group 3: Zinc Oxide (ZnO) doped into nanotubes, and then doxycycline is added to them. The anti-bacterial efficacy against Porphyromonas gingivalis was evaluated using the disk diffusion method. To analyze data, Kruskal–Wallis, Friedman, and Wilcoxon tests were done. The significance level was set at 0.05.
Results:
No zone of the inhibition was formed in Groups 1 and 2. In Group 3, the mean (SD) diameter of the inhibition zone in the first 5-day to sixth 5-day were 38.7(8.2), 25(4.8), 17.8(5.6), 7.63(5.37), 1.5(2.83), and 0 millimeters, respectively.
Conclusion:
Nanotubes containing doped ZnO and Doxycycline are capable of preventing bacterial growth around the mini implant surfaces for at least up to 30 days. To manage inflammation of surrounding tissues of mini-implants, nanotubes are not effective alone. Therefore, the presence of diffusible materials in addition to nanotubes on the surface of mini-implants is necessary.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was twofold: first, to evaluate the precision of guided orthodontic mini-implant (OMI) placement planned on virtual superimposition of plaster models and lateral cephalograms with regard to the bone support and, second, to investigate the effects of silicone guide extension. METHODS A total of 40 OMIs were placed in the paramedian area of the anterior palates of 20 cadaver heads. Digitalized models and the corresponding lateral cephalograms were superimposed for planning the OMI positions, and tooth-supported (TS) and soft-tissue-supported (STS) templates were manufactured. Thereafter, postoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was performed, and the straight (A) and right-angle distance (B) from the implant tip to the nasal floor, the distance from the implant shoulder to the hard palate (C) and the angle (α) between the implant and palate plane with the preoperative (T0) and postoperative (T1) positions were measured. RESULTS The postoperative distances A, B, and C were less than the planned implant positions. However, significant difference between T0 and T1 was only noted in terms of distance A using the TS templates (T0: 4.7 ± 2.3 mm, T1: 3.0 ± 2.3 mm; p = 0.008) and distance B using the STS template (T0: 3.1 ± 3.5 mm, T1: 2.3 ± 3.2 mm; p = 0.041). There were no significant differences in all average deviations (∆ Ceph/CBCT) between the two templates. CONCLUSIONS Guided OMI placement planned by virtual superimposition of digitized models and the corresponding lateral cephalogram is fundamentally feasible. However, the position closer to the nasal floor needs critical assessment for correct implantation. The silicone template expansion seems to have only a minor effect on transfer accuracy.

Abstract
In current orthodontic practice, miniscrew implants (MSIs) for anchorage and bone fixation plates (BFPs) for surgical orthodontic treatment are commonly used. MSIs and BFPs that are made of bioabsorbable material would avoid the need for removal surgery. We investigated the mechanical, degradation and osseointegration properties and the bone-implant interface strength of the AZ31 bioabsorbable magnesium alloy to assess its suitability for MSIs and BFPs. The mechanical properties of a Ti alloy (TiA), AZ31 Mg alloy (MgA), pure Mg and poly-L-lactic acid (PLA) were investigated using a nanoindentation test. Also, pH changes in the solution and degradation rates were determined using immersion tests. Three-dimensional, high-resolution, micro-computed tomography (CT) of implants in the rat femur was performed. Biomechanical push-out testing was conducted to calculate the maximum shear strength of the bone-implant interface. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), histological analysis and an evaluation of systemic inflammation were performed. MgA has mechanical properties similar to those of bone, and is suitable for implants. The degradation rate of MgA was significantly lower than that of Mg. MgA achieved a significantly higher bone-implant bond strength than TiA. Micro-CT revealed no significant differences in bone density or bone-implant contact between TiA and MgA. In conclusion, the AZ31 Mg alloy is suitable for both MSIs and BFPs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this cadaveric study was to measure the transfer accuracy of orthodontic mini-implant placement at the anterior palate depending on tooth-borne or gingiva-borne guide support. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty orthodontic mini-implants were placed paramedian in the anterior palate of 20 cadaver heads using tooth-borne (TBG) or gingiva-borne guides (GBG). Placement was planned after superimposition of lateral cephalograms and corresponding plaster models. After mini-implant placement, digital impressions were taken with scanbodies. For the measurement of both linear and angle deviations, virtual planning models and postoperative oral scans were compared using automatic surface registration based on an iterative closest point algorithm. RESULTS Statistical differences between TBG and GBG were detected for lateral deviations 0.88 mm (SD 0.46) versus 1.65 mm (SD 1.03) (p = .004) and sagittal angular deviations 3.67° (SD 2.25) versus 6.46° (SD 5.5) (p = .043). No differences were found for vertical deviations 2.34 mm (SD 0.74) versus 2.14 mm (SD 0.73) (p = .40) and transverse angular deviations 3.60° (SD 2.89) versus 4.06° (SD 3.04) (p = .62). CONCLUSIONS The use of surgical guides based on silicone provides sufficient control of orthodontic mini-implant placement and is comparable to CAD/CAM templates. However, when compared with guided dental implantology, the planned mini-implant position is more inaccurate. However, accuracy can be significantly increased by guide extension involving the teeth. Clinical investigations have to prove if the accuracy is sufficient for receiving an orthodontic appliance. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The use of lateral cephalograms and plaster models for silicone guide construction leads to lower radiation exposure and provides sufficient accuracy for palatal orthodontic mini-implant placement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anchorage in orthodontics can be provided through several extra- and intra-oral sources including headgear, teeth, cortical bone and soft tissue. OBJECTIVE The aim of this review was to systematically review the effectiveness of miniscrews in reinforcing anchorage during en-masse retraction of anterior teeth in comparison to conventional anchorage appliances. Search method: Comprehensive searching of the electronic databases was undertaken up to March 2018 in the Cochrane Database of Systematic review, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE via PubMed and Scopus databases. Additional searching for on-going and unpublished data and hand search of relevant journals were also undertaken, authors were contacted, and reference lists screened. Eligibility criteria: Searches were restricted to randomized clinical trials (RCTs) published in English, which compared anchorage reinforcement using mechanically-retained miniscrews (diameter of 2 mm or less) to conventional anchorage appliances during en-masse retraction of anterior teeth in participants of any age treated with fixed appliances combined with extraction of maxillary premolars. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Blind and induplicate study selection, data extraction and risk of bias assessment were undertaken. The primary outcome was the amount of mesial movement of the upper first permanent molar (anchorage loss) while secondary outcomes included treatment duration, number of visits, adverse effects and patient-centered outcomes. The risk of bias was assessed using Cochrane risk of bias tool. A random-effects model with its corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) were generated for comparable outcomes. Statistical heterogeneity across the studies were assessed using the I2 and Chi2 test. Additional sensitivity tests were implemented. RESULTS Seven RCTs met the inclusion criteria, however, data of 241 participants from 6 RCTs (250 miniscrews and 134 conventional anchorage appliances) were meta-analyzed. Qualities of the included RCTs varied from low to high. The standardized mean difference (SMD) of the anchrage loss between the two intervention groups was 2.07 mm ((95% CI (-3.05) to (-1.08), p < .001, I2 = 88%, 6 RCTs)) in favour of miniscrews, which was also preserved after excluding the high risk of bias studies (SMD 1.94 mm, 95% CI (-2.46) to (-0.42) p < .001, I2 = 93%, 3 RCTs)). Information on overall treatment duration, space closure duration, quality of treatment, patient-reported outcomes, adverse effects and number of visit were limited. CONCLUSION The result of the meta-analysis suggested that there is moderate quality of evidence that miniscrews are clinically and statistically more effective in preserving orthodontic anchorage than conventional appliances. However, this conclusion is supported by a small number of studies with variable qualities. High-quality RCTs would give a better understanding of miniscrews effectiveness in providing orthodontic anchorage.

Abstract
Background Miniscrews in orthodontics have been mainly used for anchorage without patient compliance in orthodontic treatment. The literature has reported changing failure rates. Objective The aim of this review was to provide a precise estimation of miniscrew failure rate and the possible risk factors of the mechanically-retained miniscrews. Search method Electronic search in database was undertaken up to July 2017 through the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, MEDLINE, Scopus, and Ovid. Additional searching for on-going and unpublished data, hand search of relevant journals and grey lietraure were also undertaken, authors were contacted, and reference lists screened. Eligibility criteria Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and prospective cohort studies (PCSs), published in English were obtained, which reported the failure rate of miniscrews, as orthodontic anchorage, with less than 2 mm diameter. Data collection and analysis Blind and induplicate study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment were undertaken in this research. Failure rates and relevant risk factors of miniscrews with the corresponding 95 per cent confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by using the random-effects model. The heterogeneity across the studies was assessed using the I2 and Chi2 test. The risk of bias was assessed using Cochrane risk of bias and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed in order to test the robustness of the results in meta-analysis. Results The 16 RCTs and 30 PCSs were included in this research. Five studies were not included in the meta-analysis due to a lack of the statistical information needed to compute the effect sizes. About 3250 miniscrews from 41 studies were pooled in a random-effect model. The overall failure rate of miniscrews was 13.5 per cent (95% CI 11.5-15.9). Subgroup analysis showed that miniscrews 'diameter, length and design, patient age, and jaw of insertion had minimal effect on rate of miniscrews failure while the type of the gingivae and smoking had statistically significant effect. Conclusion Miniscrews have an acceptably low failure rate. The findings should be interpreted with caution due to high-level of heterogeneity and unbalanced groups in the included studies. High quality randomized clinical trial with large sample sizes are required to support the findings of this review.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although the success of using orthodontic miniscrews for primary insertion has been reported in the literature, few studies have followed up on secondary insertions after failure of the first insertion. In this study, we investigated not only the primary but also secondary success rates of miniscrews and considered the risk factors influencing their stability. METHODS Five hundred miniscrews were inserted for orthodontic anchorage in 240 patients. Ninety-eight miniscrews lacked stability; thus, 77 of these were removed and reinserted. We calculated and compared the primary and secondary success rates of insertion. Moreover, we investigated which clinical parameters affected the stability of miniscrews. RESULTS The success rate of secondary insertion (44.2%) was significantly lower than that of primary insertion (80.4%). The screw length and jaw receiving the insertion were significantly associated with the stability of miniscrews. The 8.0-mm miniscrews were significantly more stable than the 6.0-mm miniscrews, and the success rate for insertions into the maxilla was significantly higher than that for the mandible. CONCLUSIONS Secondary insertions lack stability; therefore, clinicians should be aware of the reduced success rate of reinsertion and know the risk factors to avoid failure of secondary insertions.

Abstract
This study investigated guidelines for placement of monocortical screws in the mandible, particularly the mandibular canal. In this study of 35 patients, we used cone-beam computed tomography to determine the distance from the alveolar crest to the superior border of the mandibular canal (DMC) and the shortest distance from the buccal and lingual cortex to the mandibular canal (attaining distance) in the areas between premolars (premolar area), between the second premolar and first molar (middle area), and between the first and second molars (molar area). The DMC values for these areas were 16.55, 18.94, and 16.58 mm, respectively, and were similar in adults and adolescents. When the attaining distance was 8 mm, the heights on the buccal and lingual sides of the areas were 9 and 16.6 mm, 13.7 and 14.7 mm, and 15.3 and 12 mm, respectively. Risk of proximity to the mandibular canal should be considered at above heights or greater when an orthodontic anchorage device (OAD) 8 mm in length is placed. Careful attention is needed for placements on lingual side in adolescents. By reducing the OAD length to 6 mm, placement safety increases in all areas except the premolar area, especially on the buccal side.

Effect of longitudinal flutes on miniscrew implant stability and 3-dimensional bone formation. Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2017; 150:950-957. [PMID: 27894544 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajodo.2016.04.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2015] [Revised: 04/01/2016] [Accepted: 04/01/2016] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of longitudinal flutes on miniscrew implant (MSI) stability and bone healing. METHODS Using 11 skeletally mature New Zealand white rabbits, we placed 31 longitudinally fluted and 31 nonfluted, 3-mm-long MSIs in standardized positions in their calvaria and immediately loaded them with 100 g using nickel-titanium coil springs. Insertion torque values were obtained for each MSI placed; removal torque values were obtained for 28 MSIs that had been in place for 6 weeks and 20 MSIs that had been in place for 2 weeks. The bone volume fractions at 6 to 24, 24 to 42, and 42 to 60 μm from the MSI surfaces were evaluated using microcomputed tomography with an isotropic resolution of 6 μm. RESULTS The success rate was 97% for both the fluted and nonfluted MSIs. The difference in insertion torque between the fluted and nonfluted MSIs was not statistically significant (P = 0.930). After 2 weeks, there was no statistically significant (P = 0.702) difference in removal torque between the fluted and nonfluted MSIs. After 6 weeks, removal torque values were significantly (P = 0.008) higher for the fluted (3.42 ± 0.26 N.cm) than the nonfluted (2.49 ± 0.20 N.cm) MSIs. Bone volume fractions of the 6-to-24-, 24-to-42-, and 42-to-60-μm layers were significantly (P <0.05) greater for the nonfluted than the fluted MSIs. CONCLUSIONS Loaded 3-mm-long MSIs with and without flutes have high success rates. Longitudinal flutes placed in 3-mm MSIs increased their removal torque by 37% and decreased the amount of bone immediately surrounding them.

Barriers and facilitators to the implementation of orthodontic mini implants in clinical practice: a systematic review. Syst Rev 2016; 5:163.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous surveys have shown that orthodontic mini implants (OMIs) are underused in clinical practice. To investigate this implementation issue, we conducted a systematic review to (1) identify barriers and facilitators to the implementation of OMIs for all potential stakeholders and (2) quantify these implementation constructs, i.e., record their prevalence. We also recorded the prevalence of clinicians in the eligible studies that do not use OMIs. METHODS Methods were based on our published protocol. Broad-spectrum eligibility criteria were defined. A barrier was defined as any variable that impedes or obstructs the use of OMIs and a facilitator as any variable that eases and promotes their use. Over 30 databases including gray literature were searched until 15 January 2016. The Joanna Briggs Institute tool for studies reporting prevalence and incidence data was used to critically appraise the included studies. Outcomes were qualitatively synthesized, and meta-analyses were only conducted when pre-set criteria were fulfilled. Three reviewers conducted all research procedures independently. We also contacted authors of eligible studies to obtain additional information. RESULTS Three surveys fulfilled the eligibility criteria. Seventeen implementation constructs were identified in these studies and were extracted from a total of 165 patients and 1391 clinicians. Eight of the 17 constructs were scored by more than 50 % of the pertinent stakeholders. Three of these constructs overlapped between studies. Contacting of authors clarified various uncertainties but was not always successful. Limitations of the eligible studies included (1) the small number of studies; (2) not defining the research questions, i.e., the primary outcomes; (3) the research design (surveys) of the studies and the exclusive use of closed-ended questions; (4) not consulting standards for identifying implementation constructs; (5) the lack of pilot testing; (6) high heterogeneity; (7) the risk of reporting bias; and (8) additional shortcomings. Meta-analyses were not possible because of these limitations. Two eligible studies found that respectively 56.3 % (952/1691) and 40.16 % (439/1093) of clinicians do not use OMIs. CONCLUSIONS Notwithstanding the limitations of the eligible studies, their findings were important because (1) 17 implementation constructs were identified of which 8 were scored by more than 50 % of the stakeholders; (2) the various shortcomings showed how to improve on future implementation studies; and (3) the underuse of OMIs in the selected studies and in the literature demonstrated the need to identify, quantify, and address implementation constructs. Prioritizing of future research questions on OMIs with all pertinent stakeholders is an important first step and could redirect research studies on OMIs towards implementation issues. Patients, clinicians, researchers, policymakers, insurance companies, implant companies, and research sponsors will all be beneficiaries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most orthodontic treatment plans need some form of anchorage to control the reciprocal forces of tooth movement. Orthodontic mini implants (OMIs) have been hailed for having revolutionized orthodontics, because they provide anchorage without depending on the collaboration of patients, they have a favorable effectiveness compared with conventional anchorage devices, and they can be used for a wide scale of treatment objectives. However, surveys have shown that many orthodontists never or rarely use them. To understand the rationale behind this knowledge-to-action gap, we will conduct a systematic review that will identify and quantify potential barriers and facilitators to the implementation of OMIs in clinical practice for all potential stakeholders, i.e., patients, family members, clinicians, office staff, clinic owners, policy makers, etc. The prevalence of clinicians that do not use OMIs will be our secondary outcome. METHODS The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P) 2015 Statement was adopted as the framework for reporting this manuscript. We will apply broad-spectrum search strategies and will search MEDLINE and more than 40 other databases. We will conduct searches in the gray literature, screen reference lists, and hand-search 12 journals. All study designs, stakeholders, interventions, settings, and languages will be eligible. We will search studies that report on barriers or facilitators to the implementation of orthodontic mini implants (OMIs) in clinical practice. Implementation constructs and their prevalence among pertinent stakeholders will be our primary outcomes. All searching and data extraction procedures will be conducted by three experienced reviewers. We will also contact authors and investigators to obtain additional information on data items and unidentified studies. Risk of bias will be scored with tools designed for the specific study designs. We will assess heterogeneity, meta-biases, and the robustness of the overall evidence of outcomes. We will present findings in a systematic narrative synthesis and plan meta-analyses when pertinent criteria are met. DISCUSSION Knowledge creation on this research topic could identify and quantify both expected and unexpected implementation constructs and their stakeholders. Such knowledge can help develop strategies to address implementation issues and redirect future studies on OMIs towards knowledge translation. This could lead to improved patient-health experiences and a reduction in research waste.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the influence of the length of temporary intraoral skeletal anchorage devices (TISAD/TAD) on their long-term stability in the mandible in a homogenous group of patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A group of generally healthy patients of the same gender (female) and with a statistically insignificant age difference (20-29 years) highly homogenous with respect to known factors affecting the success rate of TISAD/TAD was evaluated. One type of TISAD/TAD was applied (6- or 8-mm long). Each patient received both 6- and 8-mm-long TISAD/TAD in randomly selected mandibular quadrants: left or right. The long-term success rate of TISAD/TAD was analyzed. RESULTS The 8-mm orthodontic mini-screw implants were significantly more stable than the 6-mm ones in the analyzed group. CONCLUSION The length of the TISAD/TAD may be one of the factors that can affect the long-term success rate in the mandibles of 20- to 29-year-old women.

Abstract
This article examines the concept of orthodontic anchorage and focuses on ways skeletally derived anchorage is gained. A brief history of the different skeletal anchorage systems to date is given. The article gives an emphasis on the use of one particular skeletal anchorage technique--the micro-implant--to assist with orthodontic anchorage and active tooth movement. Advantages and disadvantages of this new technique are discussed. An illustration of the use of micro-implants is given with reference to a case where they have been used in a novel manner to provide distal movement of maxillary molars.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The term anchorage in orthodontic treatment refers to methods of controlling unwanted tooth movement. This is provided either by anchor sites within the mouth, such as the teeth and the palate, or from outside the mouth (headgear). Recently, new methods of providing anchorage have been developed using orthodontic implants which are surgically inserted into the bone in the mouth. This is termed surgical anchorage. This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 2007. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of surgical anchorage techniques compared to conventional anchorage in the prevention of unwanted tooth movement in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment by evaluating the mesiodistal movement of upper first molar teeth. A secondary objective was to compare the effects of one type of surgical anchorage with another. SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane Oral Health Group's Trials Register (to 28 October 2013), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (The Cochrane Library 2013, Issue 9), MEDLINE via OVID (1946 to 28 October 2013) and EMBASE via OVID (1980 to 28 October 2013). We handsearched key international orthodontic and dental journals, and searched the trial database ClinicalTrials.gov and the World Health Organization (WHO) International Clinical Trials Registry Platform for ongoing and unpublished studies. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised controlled trials comparing surgical anchorage with conventional anchorage in orthodontic patients. Trials comparing two types of surgical anchorage were also included. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS At least two review authors independently and in duplicate extracted data and carried out risk of bias assessments. We contacted study authors to clarify aspects of study design and conduct, and to obtain unreported data. MAIN RESULTS Fourteen new studies were added in this update resulting in a total of 15 studies reporting data from 561 randomised patients. The studies were conducted in Europe, India, China, South Korea and the USA. The age range of patients was commonly restricted to adolescents or young adults, however the participants of two studies were from a much wider age range (12 to 54 years). The distribution of males and females was similar in eight of the studies, with a predominance of female patients in seven studies.Eight studies were assessed to be at high overall risk of bias; six studies at unclear risk of bias; one study at low risk of bias.Ten studies with 407 randomised and 390 analysed patients compared surgical anchorage with conventional anchorage for the primary outcome of mesiodistal movement of upper first molars. We carried out a random-effects model meta-analysis for the seven studies that fully reported this outcome. There was strong evidence of an effect of surgical anchorage on this outcome. Compared with conventional anchorage, surgical anchorage was more effective in the reinforcement of anchorage by 1.68 mm (95% confidence interval (CI) -2.27 mm to -1.09 mm; seven studies, 308 participants analysed) with moderate quality of evidence (one study at high overall risk of bias, five studies at unclear risk of bias, one study at low risk of bias). This result should be interpreted with some caution, however, as there was a substantial degree of heterogeneity for this comparison. There was no evidence of a difference in overall duration of treatment between surgical and conventional anchorage (-0.15 years; 95% CI -0.37 years to 0.07 years; three studies, 111 analysed patients) with low quality of evidence (one study at high overall risk of bias and two studies at unclear risk of bias). Information on patient-reported outcomes such as pain and acceptability was limited and inconclusive.When direct comparisons were made between two types of surgical anchorage, there was a lack of evidence to suggest that any one technique was better than another.No included studies reported adverse effects. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS There is moderate quality evidence that reinforcement of anchorage is more effective with surgical anchorage than conventional anchorage, and that results from mini-screw implants are particularly promising. While surgical anchorage is not associated with the inherent risks and compliance issues related to extraoral headgear, none of the included studies reported on harms of surgical or conventional anchorage.

Abstract
Objectives This meta-analysis aimed to compare the therapeutic effect of mini-plate versus Kirschner wire (K-wire) internal fixation on the treatment of metacarpal and phalangeal fractures among Chinese Han population. Methods Databases of China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, Chinese VIP, PubMed, and Embase were retrieved for studies on mini-plate (case group) versus K-wire (control group) internal fixation for the treatment of metacarpal and phalangeal fractures among Chinese Han population. The odds ratio (OR) and standardized mean difference (SMD) at 95% confidence interval (CI) were used for estimating the effects of dichotomous data and continuous data, respectively. All statistical analyses were performed by Review Manager 5.2 software. Results A total of 18 studies involving 1,375 metacarpal or phalangeal fracture patients (709 cases and 666 controls) were included in the meta-analysis. There were significant differences in fracture healing time (SMD = −1.28; 95% CI: −1.81, −0.76), postoperative infection rate (OR = 0.25; 95% CI: 0.16, 0.39), complication incidence (OR = 0.24; 95% CI: 0.15, 0.38), and surgery time (SMD = 1.57; 95% CI: 0.76, 2.37) between the case and the control group, while no significant difference was found in hospital stays between these two groups (SMD = 0.43; 95% CI: −0.34, 1.20; P = 0.27). Conclusions For the treatment of metacarpal or phalangeal fracture among Chinese Han population, mini-plate has advantages of shorter healing time and lower infection rate and complication incidence compared with K-wire internal fixation, while a longer surgery time than K-wire. In conclusion, mini-plate is prior than K-wire internal fixation for the treatment of metacarpal or phalangeal fracture among Chinese Han population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Several methods are available to enhance the precision of miniscrew placement. The use of surgical guides based on cone-beam computed tomography is indicated especially in patients with risky or difficult anatomic situations. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of miniscrew placement by using surgical guides developed with computer-aided design and manufacturing techniques. METHODS Miniscrews were placed in cadaver maxillae using stereolithographic computer-aided design and manufacturing techniques with assistance from surgical guides (surgical guide group, n = 25) or periapical x-rays (control group, n = 20). Insertion sites were selected using a 3-dimensional surgical planning program by fusing maxillary digital model images and cone-beam computed tomography images. Deviations between actual and planned placements were measured as 3-dimensional angular deviations and distance (coronal and apical) deviations. RESULTS In the surgical guide group, the angular deviation was a median of 3.14° (range, 1.02°-10.9°), and the mesiodistal deviations in the coronal and apical areas were medians of 0.29 mm (range, 0.03-0.73 mm) and 0.21 mm (range, 0.03-0.97 mm), respectively. The deviations differed significantly between operators in the control group, but not in the surgical guide group. In the surgical guide group, there was no root damage from miniscrew placement, and 84% of the miniscrews were placed without contacting adjacent anatomic structures. In the control group, 50% of the miniscrews were placed between the roots (P <0.05). CONCLUSIONS Surgical guide accuracy was improved when digital model imaging was used. Miniscrews were placed more accurately when using surgical guides than when using a direct method.

Abstract
Background Although the clinical use of miniscrews has been investigated on a large scale, little is known about their biocompatibility. Since low pH can affect corrosion resistance, the aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxic effect of orthodontic miniscrews in different pH conditions. Methods Four orthodontic miniscrews of stainless steel and grade IV and grade V titanium were immersed in a pH 7 and pH 4 saline solution for 1, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 84 days. Human osteogenic sarcoma cells (U2OS), permanent human keratinocytes (HaCat), and primary human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) were exposed to eluates, and the mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity was measured after 24 h to assess the cytoxicity. The results were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test (P < 0.05). Results When exposed to pH 7-conditioned eluates, the cell lines showed an even greater viability than untreated cells. On the contrary, the results revealed a statistically significant decrease in U2OS, HaCat, and HGF viability after exposure to eluates obtained at pH 4. Among the cell lines tested, HGF showed the most significant decrease of mitochondrial activity. Interestingly, grade V titanium miniscrews caused highest toxic effects when immersed at pH 4. Conclusions The results suggested that at pH 7, all the miniscrews are biocompatible while the eluates obtained at pH 4 showed significant cytotoxicity response. Moreover, different cell lines can produce different responses to miniscrew eluates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To verify if mini-implant mobility is affected by the presence of periodontopathogens, frequently associated with peri-implantitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The surfaces of 31 mini-implants used for skeletal anchorage in orthodontic patients were evaluated. Polymerase chain reaction was used for identification of the presence of DNA from three different periodontopathogens ( P. intermedia [ Pi ], A. actinomycetemcomitans [ Aa ], and P. gingivalis [ Pg ]) in 16 mini-implants without mobility (control group) and 15 mini-implants with mobility (experimental group). RESULTS The results showed that Pi was present in 100% of the samples, from both groups: Aa was found in 31.3% of the control group and in 13.3% of the experimental group. Pg was detected in 37.4% of the control group and in 33.3% of the experimental group. The Fisher exact test and the odds ratio (OR) values for Aa and Pg (OR = 0.34; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.05-2.10 and OR = 0.61; 95% CI: 0.13-2.79, respectively) showed no significant association (P > .05) between the periodontopathogens studied and the mobility of the mini-implants. CONCLUSIONS It can be concluded that the presence of Aa , Pi , and Pg around mini-implants is not associated with mobility.

Abstract
Paradigms have started to shift in the orthodontic world since the introduction of mini-implants in the anchorage armamentarium. Various forms of skeletal anchorage, including miniscrews and miniplates, have been reported in the literature. Recently, great emphasis has been placed on the miniscrew type of temporary anchorage device (TAD). These devices are small, are implanted with a relatively simple surgical procedure, and increase the potential for better orthodontic results. Therefore, miniscrews not only free orthodontists from anchorage-demanding cases, but they also enable clinicians to have good control over tooth movement in 3 dimensions. The miniplate type also produces significant improvements in treatment outcomes and has widened the spectrum of orthodontics. The purpose of this paper is to update clinicians on the current concepts and versatile uses and clinical applications of skeletal anchorage in orthodontics.

Abstract
AIM The purpose of this study was to investigate the geometric characteristics, composition, microstructure, and pullout strength of commercially available orthodontic mini-implants. MATERIAL AND METHODS The mini-implants used were AbsoAnchor®, Dual-Top™ JA, Spider Screws® K1, and Vector-TAS™. The geometric features were measured by optical microscopy. Surface texture and elemental composition were examined by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis. Surface 3D roughness was estimated by optical profilometry, and pullout strength measured in artificial bone blocks with two bone densities. RESULTS The AbsoAnchor® showed the highest intra-osseous surface area, followed by the Dual-Top™, Spider Screw®, and Vector-TAS™. The mini-implants were composed of a Ti6Al4V alloy. The Vector-TAS™ had the highest oxygen and phosphorus content with the most homogeneous surface texture. No significant differences were detected in amplitude surface roughness parameters (Sa, Sz) between the implants. However, differences existed in hybrid (Sdr, Sds) and functional (Sci) parameters. AbsoAnchor® achieved the highest pullout strength, followed by the Dual-Top™, Spider Screw®, and Vector-TAS™, with highest values in the high density group. The intra-osseous surface area of mini-implants showed a positive correlation with pullout strength, especially in the high density group. CONCLUSION All the mini-implants tested were made of Ti6Al4V alloy. Significant differences were found in the surface area of the threaded parts. The significant differences documented in 3D surface roughness parameters (hybrid and functional) and pullout strength may anticipate variations in their clinical performance.

Abstract
An orthodontic miniplate tube device, the C-tube, was designed for use in patients for whom a conventional miniscrew is not suitable, such as those with narrow interradicular spaces, extended maxillary sinuses, dilacerated roots, or severe alveolar bone loss. After local anesthesia, 2 parallel horizontal incisions are made in the area of placement, and the periosteum is elevated. The C-tube is slipped under the mucosal flap and fixed with self-drilling miniscrews (diameter, 1.5 mm; length, 4 mm). Because the screws are short, there is adequate retention in the alveolar plate, and the clinician can avoid the increased morbidity of anchoring to the zygomatic buttress. This makes placement possible with superficial anesthesia. A small rolled tube at the head part can act as an orthodontic tube and accommodate archwires or as a hook to attach orthodontic elastics. However, in some patients with pneumatization or systemic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, or in heavy smokers, cross-type C-tubes with longer miniscrews are recommend for better stability. This new type of orthodontic miniplate can be an effective alternative to conventional 1-component screws or miniplates in complex situations.

Abstract
Management of ectopic permanent maxillary canines represents one of the greatest challenges to orthodontists. This paper outlines a variety of techniques and mechanics which may facilitate expedient, predictable and safe eruption of palatal canines. While each method may be useful in isolation, the varying presentations of palatal canines ensure that the ability to apply an array of techniques is essential if successful outcomes are to be consistently achieved.

Abstract
The aim of this retrospective study was to determine factors that might cause complications in use of temporary anchorage devices (TADs) for orthodontic anchorage. We investigated 904 TADs in 455 patients. Clinical diagnoses requiring orthodontic treatment were malocclusion, jaw deformity, various syndromes, cleft lip and palate and impacted teeth. All patients underwent surgery at Tokyo Dental College Chiba Hospital between November 2000 and June 2009. Three kinds of titanium screw of different diameter and length were used: self-drilling mini-screws (Dual Top Autoscrew® and OSAS®), pre-drilling micro-screws (K1 system®) and palatal screws (PIAS®). Mini-plates fixed with 2 or 3 screws (SAS system®) were also used for skeletal anchorage. Patients were aged between 8 and 68 years (25.7±9.8 years). A total of 460 screw-type and 444 plate-type TADs were used. These comprised the following: mini-plates, 444; self-drilling mini-screws, 225; pre-drilling micro-screws, 83; and palatal screws, 152. Each type of implant had a high success rate of over about 90%. Failure rates were as follows: micro-screws, 7%; mini-screws, 6%; palatal implants, 11%; and mini-plates, 6%. Inflammation rate occurring in soft tissue surrounding TADs was follows: plate-type, 7.6%; mini-screws, 1.3%; micro-screws, 0%; and palatal implants, 2.5%. Inflammation frequencies depended on degree of mucosal penetration. Granulation rate in soft tissue surrounding TADs occurred as follows: micro-screws, 5.7%; self-drilling mini-screws, 0%; palatal screws, 0.6%; plate-type, 0.9%. Both plate- and screwtype orthodontic implants showed excellent clinical performance.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of the Gjessing (PG) retraction spring used with and without the zygoma anchorage system (ZAS) on canine retraction. Thirty patients, with an Angle Class I or Class II malocclusion, whose upper first premolars were scheduled for extraction, were divided into two equal groups. Group 1 comprised maximum anchorage cases (nine females and six males with a mean age of 16 years 8 months) in which the ZAS was used to improve posterior anchorage and the PG retraction springs for canine retraction. Moderate anchorage cases (10 females and 5 males with a mean age of 15 years 5 month) were included in group 2 and canine retraction was achieved using only PG retraction springs. Study models and lateral cephalometric radiographs obtained at the initial and final stages of canine retraction were used for comparison of the groups to determine the effects of zygoma anchorage on canine retraction. All measurements were evaluated statistically using a Student's t-test, 2 × 2 repeated measures analysis of variance, Bonferroni-adjusted t-test, and Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon tests according to the normality of the distribution of the variables. Mesial crown movement of the molars was 0.63 mm (P < 0.05) in group 1 and 1.50 mm (P < 0.001) in group 2. There was a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05) between the groups. No significant difference was observed between the groups for the rate of canine retraction or sagittal and vertical movement of the canines. The ZAS is a reliable and successful anchorage reinforcement method for canine retraction in extraction cases.

Abstract
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 required that these studies (1) reported the success rates of mini-implants on samples sizes of 10 implants or more, (2) gave a definition of success, (3) used implants with a diameter smaller than 2.5 mm, and (4) applied forces for a minimum duration of 3 months. Factors associated with implant success were accepted only if potentially influencing variables were controlled. The Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions was used as the guideline for this article. RESULTS Nineteen reports met the inclusion criteria, but definitions of success, duration of force application, and quality of the methodology of these studies varied widely. Rates of primary outcomes ranged from 0% to 100%, but most articles reported success rates greater than 80% if mobile and displaced implants were included as successful. Adverse effects of miniscrews included biologic damage, inflammation, and pain and discomfort. Only a few articles reported negative outcomes. All proposed correlations between clinical success and specific variables such as implant, patient, location, surgery, orthodontic, and implant-maintenance factors were rejected because they did not meet the selection criteria for controlling those variables. CONCLUSIONS Mini-implants can be used as temporary anchorage devices, but research in this field is still in its infancy. Interpretation of findings was conditioned by lack of clarity and poor methodology of most studies. Questions concerning patient acceptability, rate and severity of adverse effects of miniscrews, and variables that influenced success remain unanswered. This article includes a guideline for future studies of these issues, based on specific definitions of primary and secondary outcomes correlated with specific operational variables.

Abstract
This case report describes the treatment of a 16-year-old post pubertal male patient with a severe Class II division 2 malocclusion and 100% deep bite. In the first phase of treatment, a 'Jones-Jig' molar distalization appliance was used to distalize the maxillary molars by more than 6 mm, to achieve a Class I molar relation. In the second phase of treatment, mini-implants were inserted between the roots of the maxillary lateral incisor and canine to intrude all the maxillary anterior teeth en masse in a single step. Four millimetres of intrusion was achieved. The implants remained stable throughout treatment. In the mandibular arch the incisors were proclined to alleviate the severe crowding. Good overjet and overbite was achieved and has been maintained one year after completion of active orthodontic treatment.

Abstract
This case report demonstrates the clinical utility and versatility of mini-implants in carrying out different types of tooth movement in a 14-year-old boy with a 'severe' Class II division 1 malocclusion. Mini-implants were placed for 'en masse' retraction and intrusion of maxillary anterior teeth and for lower molar protraction. More than 11 mm of maxillary incisor retraction was achieved together with 3 mm of intrusion. There was significant reduction in the dentoalveolar protrusion and retraction of the upper lip, which resulted in decreased mentalis strain and improved chin projection. Cephalometric superimposition and panoramic radiographs showed no anchorage loss and good occlusion at the end of treatment.
