[PMID: 38735471 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdent.2024.105060] [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: 12/12/2023] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) have become an integral part of comprehensive orthodontic treatments. This study evaluated the transfer accuracy of three-dimensional (3D) printed and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) milled surgical guides for orthodontic TADs using micro-computed tomography (CT) imaging in a preclinical trial. METHODS Overall, 30 surgical guides were used to place TADs into typodonts; 3D printing and CAD/CAM milling were used to produce the guides. The virtual target positions of the TADs were compared to the real positions in terms of spatial and angular deviations using digital superimposition. Micro-CT imaging was used to detect the positions. To evaluate reliability, two investigators collected the measurements twice. Intra-rater and inter-rater correlations were tested. RESULTS In total, 60 palatal TADs were evaluated. The mean coronal deviations in the print group ranged from 0.15 ± 0.20 mm to 0.71 ± 0.22 mm, whereas in the mill group, they ranged from 0.09 ± 0.15 mm to 0.83 ± 0.23 mm. At the apical tip, the overall deviations in the print group ranged from 0.14 ± 0.56 mm to 1.27 ± 0.66 mm, whereas in the mill group, they ranged from 0.15 ± 0.57 mm to 1.09 ± 0.44 mm. The mean intra-class and inter-class correlation coefficients ranged from 0.904 to 0.987. No statistically significant differences were found between the groups. CONCLUSIONS CAD/CAM milled guides yielded spatial and angular accuracies comparable to those of 3D printed guides with notable deviations in the vertical positioning of TADs. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Digital planning of orthodontic temporary implants combines clinical predictability and the safety of surrounding tissue. Therefore, the transfer accuracy of the guides is crucial. This preclinical study was the first to evaluate CAD/CAM milling for orthodontic guides and found its accuracy comparable to that of the current "gold standard".

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Detailed insight regarding the use of temporary anchorage devices (TAD) in Australia and the United Kingdom (UK) is lacking. The primary aim of the present cross-sectional survey was to investigate TAD usage among UK-based and Australian-based orthodontists. The secondary objectives were to compare TAD-related preferences and protocols between orthodontists in the two countries. METHODS A pilot-tested electronic questionnaire was distributed to members of the British Orthodontic Society and the Australian Society of Orthodontists. Questions pertained to their demographic details, and current use of TADs including protocols, treatment objectives and factors influencing their use. RESULTS A total of 192 responses were recorded (Australia: 122; UK: 70). One hundred and forty-two respondents (74.0%) reported using TADs as part of their orthodontic treatment, 77.0% in Australia (n=94) and 68.6% in the UK (n=48). Molar protraction was the most common procedure for which TADs were reportedly used (Australia: n=118; 87.2%, UK: n=36; 75.0%). "Loosening" was the most prevalent reported complication overall (n=124; 90.1%). "Confidence", "insufficient postgraduate education" and "availability of equipment" were the factors that most influenced the decision not to provide TADs. CONCLUSIONS Most orthodontists in both countries provided TADs. TAD protocols of orthodontists in both countries were reported. Similarities and differences regarding TAD-related clinical practices and procedures, complications and factors influencing the use of TADs and reasons for not using TADs were explored. Information from the present study can provide baseline data for future related studies in each country and for comparison of TAD usage in other countries.

Retrospective evaluation of the success rate and factors associated with the stability of alveolar ridge orthodontic miniscrews: Pilot study. J World Fed Orthod 2024:S2212-4438(24)00012-2. [PMID: 38643033 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejwf.2024.02.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Revised: 02/21/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND An uncommon location for placing miniscrews, used to provide anchorage control in various tooth movements, is the alveolar ridge. This study aimed to provide an evaluation of the success rate of alveolar ridge miniscrews and examine variables that might impact their success. METHODS Charts for 295 patients who had miniscrews were screened. Twenty patients (5 male and 15 female: average age = 38.15 ± 15.10 years) with a total of 50 alveolar ridge miniscrews were analyzed. A customized data form was used to collect patients' and miniscrews' related variables. Kaplan-Meier estimator was used for the survival function, whereas Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to associate collected variables with alveolar ridge miniscrew survival. RESULTS In total, 31 (62.0%) miniscrews were stable and 19 (38.0%) failed. The survival time for those that failed was 6.03 ± 7.08 months. The follow-up period for those that survived was 35.84 ± 19.47 months. Male gender versus female (hazard ratio [HR] 2.46; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.35-4.48; P = 0.003), and if the miniscrew was a replacement versus non-replacement (HR 0.27; 95% CI 0.07-0.99; P = 0.048) influenced the survival. Additionally, miniscrews that were used for both indirect and direct or indirect anchorage alone plus those with evidence of splinting showed a 100% survival rate, which led to an HR 0 (P < 0.001). When the previously mentioned variables were modeled, none seemed to have a significant effect on failure except for splinting and type of anchorage (P < 0.001), because none of the splinted miniscrews failed. CONCLUSIONS The failure rate of alveolar ridge miniscrews was (38.0%) over 6.03 ± 7.08 months. The survival rate was (62.0%) over 35.84 ± 19.47 months. The evidence of splinting and the type of anchorage had a significant effect on survival probability.

Abstract
Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) are frequently applied to different anatomic areas with different protocols to increase skeletal effects and anchorage in orthodontic treatment planning. It has been reported in many literatures that primary stability for orthodontic TADs is significant for long-term survival rate. For this reason, different areas of the palatal region, which has many indications, have been widely used in the studies. In this evaluation where bone quality and thickness are important, density, bone thickness, and fractal dimension (FD) on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) will provide more predictable clinical results. The aim of this study was to evaluate bone thickness, density, and FD in the palatal region of the first, and second premolars, and first molars. There was a remarkable difference (p < 0.05) between the parameters of FD, thickness and density of bone in the identified areas in the palatal region. In terms of thickness and FD, the 1st premolar region had significantly higher values than the other regions (p < 0.05). In terms of density, the values in the right 1st molar and right 1st premolar regions were significantly higher (p < 0.05). The 1st premolar region is an ideal site for placement of palatal TADs. CBCT-assisted preliminary evaluation of FD value, bone density, and thickness may increase clinical success when selecting the location of TADs to be applied to the palatal bone.

The effect of surface roughening on the success of orthodontic mini-implants: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2024; 165:262-271.e3. [PMID: 38069923 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajodo.2023.11.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2023] [Revised: 11/01/2023] [Accepted: 11/01/2023] [Indexed: 03/01/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Orthodontic mini-implants are a widely accepted treatment modality in orthodontics; however, the failure rate is moderately high. Surface roughening is the golden standard in conventional oral implantology, and this may prove beneficial for orthodontic mini-implants as well. The objective of this systematic review is to assess the effect of surface roughening on the success rate of orthodontic mini-implants in both adolescent and adult patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. METHODS Randomized studies comparing the success of surface-roughened and smooth, machined-surface orthodontic mini-implants were included. A literature search was conducted for 6 electronic databases (Pubmed/Medline, Embase, Cochrane, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Scopus), Clinical trial registry (https://www. CLINICALTRIALS gov), and grey literature (Google Scholar). A manual search of the reference lists of included studies was performed. Two authors independently performed the screening, data extraction, risk of bias, and quality assessments. The risk of bias was assessed with the Cochrane risk-of-bias 2.0 Tool. Data were synthesized using a random effect model meta-analysis presented as a forest plot. The certainty in the body of evidence was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation tool. RESULTS A total of 4226 unique records were screened, and 6 of these were included in the quantitative analysis. Four additional articles were selected for a secondary outcome. A total of 364 orthodontic mini-implants were included in the primary outcome analysis. There was no statistically significant effect of surface roughening on the success of orthodontic mini-implants (odds ratio = 0.63 favoring roughened orthodontic mini-implants; 95% confidence interval, 0.35-1.14). The secondary outcome (ie, the overall failure rate of roughened orthodontic mini-implants) was 6% based on studies with high heterogeneity. Limitations of this study were the risk of bias, study imprecision, and possible publication bias, leading to a very low certainty in the body of evidence. CONCLUSIONS There is very low-quality evidence that there is no statistically significant effect of surface roughening on the success of orthodontic mini-implants in humans. The overall failure rate of surface-roughened orthodontic mini-implants was 6%. FUNDING No funding was received for this review. REGISTRATION This study was preregistered in the Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42022371830).

Abstract
PURPOSE The failure rate of orthodontic mini-screws depends strongly on primary stability and, thus, on insertion torque. Further improvement regarding the failure rate might be achieved by modifying the surface coating. Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate the stability of a newly designed and surface-modified orthodontic mini-screw in beagle dogs. METHODS Newly designed mini-screws coated either with DOTIZE® or DOTIZE®-copper (DOT GmbH, Rostock, Germany; each: n = 24) were inserted in the mandibles of eight beagle dogs for a duration of 8 months. Insertion and removal torque were measured. These data were compared to values generated by using the artificial bone material Sawbones® (Sawbones Europe AB, Malmö, Sweden). Experiments with and without torque limitation (each: n = 5) were run. The bone-to-implant contact rate and the amount of bone between the threads were examined. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. RESULTS The success rates of the in vivo study reached high levels with 95.3% for the DOTIZE-coated and 90.5% for the DOTIZE-copper-coated screws, whereas the insertion and removal torque did not differ between the coatings. During insertion, a torque limitation of 20 Ncm was necessary to ensure that the recommended limit was not exceeded. The insertion in Sawbones without torque limitation revealed a significantly higher torque compared to torque-limited insertion (18.2 ± 1.3 Ncm, 23.6 ± 1.3 Ncm). Bending occurred (n = 5) in the thread-free part of the mini-screw. CONCLUSIONS Surface coating might be able to improve the performance of orthodontic mini-screws. The study showed high success rates and stable mini-screws until the end of observation. Further investigations are necessary.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to determine safe areas to apply miniscrews in the interradicular region of the maxilla and mandible in individuals with various sagittal skeletal malocclusions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cone beam-computed tomography images of 159 individuals were used. Individuals were divided into three groups: Class I, Class II, and Class III. In the sagittal plane, 3-6-9-mm apical sections were determined from the alveolar crest apex. The buccal cortical bone thickness, interradicular distance, and buccolingual bone distances were measured. RESULTS In the buccal cortical bone thickness, we observed statistically significant differences between the classes except for the 1-1 region in the maxilla and all regions and sections in the mandible (p < 0.05). The differences in the buccolingual bone distance between classes were statistically significant, except for the 3-mm and 6-mm sections in the 3-4 and 4-5 regions of the maxilla, the 9-mm sections in the 1-2 and 2-3 regions, the 6-mm and 9-mm sections in the 3-4 region, and the 6-mm section in the 4-5 regions of the mandible (p < 0.05). The differences in the interradicular bone distance were statistically significant between the classes in all regions and sections of the mandible except the 6-mm sections in the 1-2 region and in all sections of the maxilla except the 6-mm sections in the 3-4 region (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS We observed significant differences in the buccal cortical bone thickness, interradicular bone distance, and buccolingual bone distance among individuals.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mini-implant insertion in the maxillary posterior region can be influenced by anatomic limitations, thus increasing the failure rate. We explored the feasibility of a new implantation site: the region between the mesial and distal buccal roots of the maxillary first molar. METHODS Cone-beam computed tomography data from 177 patients were collected from a database. The maxillary first molars were morphologically classified by analyzing the angle and morphology of the mesial and distal buccal roots. Next, 77 subjects were randomly selected from the 177 patients to measure and analyze the hard-tissue morphology in the maxillary posterior region. RESULTS We devised the Morphological Classification on the Mesial and Distal Buccal Roots of Maxillary First Molar (MCBRMM), divided into 3 types: MCBRMM-I, II, and III. In all subjects, MCBRMM-I, II, and III accounted for 43%, 25%, and 32%, respectively. At 8 mm from the mesial cementoenamel junction of maxillary first molars, the interradicular distance between the maxillary first molar's mesiodistal buccal roots of MCBRMM-I was 2.6 mm, showing an upward trend from the cementoenamel junction to the apex. The distance from the buccal bone cortex to the palatal root was >9 mm. The buccal cortical thickness was >1 mm. CONCLUSIONS This study provided a potential site for mini-implant insertion in the maxillary posterior region: the alveolar bone of maxillary first molars in MCBRMM-I.

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.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the stress distribution in cortical and cancellous bones and within the screw when a stainless steel extra-alveolar screw (EA-S) is inserted into the retromolar region of the mandible using the finite element method (FEM). The stress values in the EA-S were highest at 60° with horizontal (shear) force and lowest at 90° with axial force. In the bones (cortical and cancellous), the stress value was greatest at 90° with horizontal force. Greater stability of the screw may be achieved by tilting it to the force when horizontal loads are applied.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to assess the accuracy of digital workflow for guided insertion of miniscrews in the anterior palate using restorative implant dentistry software and licensed software for orthodontic applications. METHODS Twenty subjects (8 males, 12 females, mean age = 16.7 ± 2.1 years) were prospectively selected to receive guided insertion of bicortical palatal miniscrews. Virtual planning was performed using restorative implant dentistry software (Blue Sky Plan*, version 4.7) (group 1 = 10 subjects) and licensed orthodontic software (Dolphin Imaging Software, version 11.0) (group 2 = 10 subjects). A specific 3D Imaging technology was applied to permit the registration of the planned and achieved position of the miniscrews based on the superimposition of maxillary models. The angular deviation (accuracy error) between the planned and the achieved positions of the miniscrews were recorded. Independent Student's test was used with statistical significance set at p value < 0.05. RESULTS The mean accuracy error recorded in group 1 was 7.15° ± 1.09 (right side) and 6.19 ± 0.80 (left side) while the mean error in group 2 was 6.74° ± 1.23 (right side) and 5.79 ± 0.95 (left side). No significant differences were recorded between the two groups (p > 0.05); instead, miniscrews placed on the right side were almost one degree higher than the left side (p < 0.05) in both groups. CONCLUSIONS The clinical accuracy error was similar when using generic and licensed orthodontic software for guided systems.

Abstract
Orthodontics has considerably increased the use of technology combined with surgery as a tool to improve dental movements in terms of predictability, acceleration of movement, and fewer side effects. To achieve these goals miniscrews and corticotomy were introduced. The digital workflow permits an increase in the accuracy of surgical and orthodontic setups. The tool that transfers the information is the CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/ Computer-Aided Manufacturing) template. The aim of this review is to illustrate the use of computer-guided surgery in orthodontics regarding miniscrews and piezocision. The search strategy was a combination of Medical Subject Headings (Mesh) and free text words for PubMed. A total of 27 articles were included in this review: 16 concerned miniscrews and 11 concerned corticotomy. The current need for faster treatments, the improved systems of anchorage, and the evolution of imaging technologies require operators to be knowledgeable of the digital workflow. CAD/CAM templates allow greater precision and predictability of miniscrew insertion even if in the hands of less experienced clinicians and permit a better orientation and depth of the cortical incision. In conclusion, digital planning makes surgery faster and easier and allows for the identification and correction of any potential problem before the procedure.

Concept for the Treatment of Class III Anomalies with a Skeletally Anchored Appliance Fabricated in the CAD/CAM Process-The MIRA Appliance. Bioengineering (Basel) 2023; 10:616. [PMID: 37237686 PMCID: PMC10215846 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering10050616] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2023] [Revised: 05/12/2023] [Accepted: 05/16/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Intermaxillary elastics, anchored skeletally, represent a promising concept for treatment in adolescent patients with skeletal Class III anomalies. A challenge in existing concepts is the survival rate of the miniscrews in the mandible or the invasiveness of the bone anchors. A novel concept, the mandibular interradicular anchor (MIRA) appliance, for improving skeletal anchorage in the mandible, will be presented and discussed. CLINICAL CASE In a ten-year-old female patient with a moderate skeletal Class III, the novel MIRA concept, combined with maxillary protraction, was applied. This involved the use of a CAD/CAM-fabricated indirect skeletal anchorage appliance in the mandible, with interradicularly placed miniscrews distal to each canine (MIRA appliance), and a hybrid hyrax in the maxilla with paramedian placed miniscrews. The modified alt-RAMEC protocol involved an intermittent weekly activation for five weeks. Class III elastics were worn for a period of seven months. This was followed by alignment with a multi-bracket appliance. DISCUSSION The cephalometric analysis before and after therapy shows an improvement of the Wits value (+3.8 mm), SNA (+5°), and ANB (+3°). Dentally, a transversal postdevelopment in the maxilla (+4 mm) and a labial tip of the maxillary (+3.4°) and mandibular anterior teeth (+4.7°) with gap formation is observed. CONCLUSION The MIRA appliance represents a less invasive and esthetic alternative to the existing concepts, especially with two miniscrews in the mandible per side. In addition, MIRA can be selected for complex orthodontic tasks, such as molar uprighting and mesialization.

Abstract
This study aimed to address the stability of orthodontic mini-implants submitted to an immediate orthodontic functional load, in splinted or unsplinted conditions, further characterizing the histomorphometric parameters of the neighboring bone tissue, in an in vivo experimental model. Mini-implants (1.4 × 6.0 mm) were placed in the proximal tibia of New Zealand White rabbits and immediately loaded with a 150 g force. Tissue healing was characterized within 8 weeks. Microtomography was used to assess the mini-implants' tipping and bone histomorphometric indexes. Loaded implants were evaluated in splinted and unsplinted conditions, with data being compared to that of unloaded mini-implants with the Kruskal-Wallis nonparametric test, followed by Dunn's multiple comparison tests. The splinting of mini-implants submitted to immediate orthodontic loading significantly reduced the tipping to levels similar to those of unloaded mini-implants. Immediate loading further increased the histomorphometric indexes associated with bone formation at the peri-implant region, in both splinted and unsplinted conditions, with no significant differences between the tension and compression regions. Accordingly, within this experimental setting, splinting was found to lessen tipping and mini-implants' displacement, without affecting the increased bone formation at the peri-implant region, induced by a functional orthodontic load.

Abstract
Introduction The purpose of this systematic review was to identify, evaluate, and provide information about palatal bone thickness in different vertical growth patterns for the placement of orthodontic anchorage devices. Methods We performed a systematic review of the published data in Medline via PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus from January 2000 to August 2022 using eligibility criteria. Data collection analysis and data extraction were performed independently by three reviewers. Sensitivity analyses were performed with the Cochrane risk of bias tool and the ROBINS-I tool was used for non-randomized studies. Results A total of 343 articles were identified. The inclusion criteria included palatal bone thickness and vertical facial growth. However, both variables were found in 4 studies and only 2 had a control group. The different studies evaluated palatal bone thickness according to sex (male 14.1 mm; female 9.68 mm) and vertical malocclusion (normal 2.2 -12.6 mm; open bite 1.9 -13.2mm) with heterogeneous results. Likewise, the vertical growth pattern with a low angle (9.39 mm) was greater than the normal (8.55 mm) and high angle (7.53 mm). Conclusions Palatal bone thickness varies according tp different vertical growth patterns, with the greatest thickness being found near the incisive foramen in hypodivergent individuals.

Abstract
In this study, we analyzed the clinical factors and mechanical parameters for predicting orthodontic mini-implant (OMI) failure in the mandible, which has different properties from the maxilla. A patient-specific finite element analysis was applied to 32 OMIs (6 failures and 26 successes) implanted between the mandibular second premolars and first molars used for anchorage. The peak stress and strain parameters were calculated for each sample. A logistic regression of the failure (vs. success) of OMIs on the mechanical parameters in the models was conducted. In addition, the influence of clinical factors on the mechanical parameters considered to be related to OMI failure was examined by a regression analysis. The mechanical parameter which best predicts OMI failure in the mandible was found to be a minimum principal strain of between 0.5 to 1.0 mm from the OMI surface (R2 = 0.8033). The results indicate the patient's bone density, distance between the OMIs and adjacent root, and vertical implantation angle of the OMIs are potential clinical predictors of OMI failure in the mandible.

Abstract
The following case report describes the treatment of a 20-year-old man with dental and facial asymmetry. Patient presented upper dental midline shifted 3 mm to right side and the lower one 1 mm to left side, skeletal class I, molar class I and canine class III on the right side, molar class I and canine class II on the left side, and upper and lower crowding on teeth #12, #15, #22, #24, #34, and #35 in crossbite. The treatment plan provided four extractions: in the superior arch the right second and the left first premolar and in the lower arch first premolars on the left and right sides. Wire-fixed orthodontic device was used in combinations with coils to correct the midline deviation and to close post-extractive spaces, avoiding miniscrew implants. At the end of the treatment, optimal functional and aesthetic results were obtained: realignment of the midline improved facial symmetry, correction of the crossbite on both sides, and a good occlusal relationship.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) offer the clinician an immediate temporary source of skeletal anchorage for a range of orthodontic interventions. It is important to understand forces involved in using TADs and the effects on the dentition and surrounding structures, to improve clinical outcomes. OBJECTIVE To examine and qualitatively synthesize literature on the forces involved with the use of TADs and the effects on the dentition and surrounding structures in orthodontic tooth movement, to provide better understanding of the complex interactions and the clinical implications. SEARCH METHODS Electronic databases searched included: Cochrane Library [including Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL)], Embase via OVID, Pubmed, and Scopus. Study screening and selection were conducted in duplicate. SELECTION CRITERIA Studies selected were clinical studies, simulation studies (computer or laboratory-based), or animal studies with no restriction over gender, age, study type (excluding case reports), or setting. Studies focusing on the forces involved with the use of TADs in orthodontic treatment and their effects on the dentition and surrounding structures were included. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS A data charting form was piloted and refined. Data charting was performed independently and in duplicate. This consisted of key fields with predetermined options and free text. The extracted data were collated, and a narrative synthesis conducted. RESULTS The results from 203 included studies were grouped into seven TAD based interventions combining the clinical, simulation, and animal studies. They were: En masse retraction of anterior teeth, intrusion, movement of a single tooth, orthopaedic interventions, distalisation, maxillary expansion and other types. The forces involved with the use of TADs, and their effects on the dentition and surrounding structures, were presented in descriptive and tabular formats. LIMITATIONS This review restricted study language to English. Formal appraisal of the quality of evidence is not a required feature of scoping reviews, as per the PRISMA-ScR guidelines, however it was evident that a proportion of clinical studies were of high risk of bias and low quality and therefore any proposed changes the reader may consider to their clinical practice should be contextualized in light of this. CONCLUSIONS Across the seven types of TAD based interventions the effects on the dentition and surrounding structures are described providing a better understanding of the complex interactions. A guide to the level and direction of forces in each type of intervention is provided to aid clinicians in achieving high quality outcomes. IMPLICATIONS There is a need to validate future FEA simulation studies by comparing to clinical data. It is also recommended that future scoping reviews incorporate a formal critical appraisal of studies to facilitate the translation of the results into clinical practice. Development of a standard set of terms for TADs is recommended to facilitate future research. REGISTRATION Registration of a scoping review is not possible with PROSPERO. FUNDING None to declare.

Abstract
Orthodontic miniscrews (OM) are widely used in modern orthodontic clinical practice to improve skeletal anchorage and have a high safety profile. A complication at the time of OM insertion is tooth root perforation or periodontal ligament trauma. Rarely, OM injury can cause permanent damage, such as ankylosis, osteosclerosis, and loss of tooth vitality. The aim of this work was to analyze potential risks and dental complications associated with the use of OMs. A search of the PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Scopus databases was conducted without a time limit using the keywords "orthodontic mini-screw" and "dental damage", resulting in 99 studies. After screening and eligibility, including articles obtained through a citation search, 13 articles were selected. Four studies revealed accidental injuries caused by OM. Most of the damage was localized at the root level and resolved spontaneously with restorative cement formation after prompt removal of the OM, while the pain disappeared. In some cases, irreversible nerve damage, extensive lesions to the dentin-pulp complex, and refractory periapical periodontitis occurred, requiring endodontic and/or surgical treatment. The choice of insertion site was the most important element to be evaluated during the application of OMs.

Abstract
Dental biofilm is the initiating factor of oral diseases, such as periodontitis and caries. Orthodontic treatment could alter the microbiome structure balance, and increase the risk of such diseases. Furthermore, fixed appliances can induce temporary changes in the microbiome community, and the changes that clear aligners bring are smaller by comparison. Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) are skeletal anchorages that are widely used in orthodontic treatment. Microorganisms affect the occurrence and development of inflammation surrounding TADs. At present, existing researches have verified the existence of plaque biofilm on the surface of TADs, but the formation of plaque biofilm and plaque composition under different stable conditions have not been fully understood. The development of high-throughput sequencing, molecular biology experiments, and metabonomics have provided new research ideas to solve this problem. They can become an effective means to explore the microbiome surrounding TADs.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of dynamic visualization of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans on orthodontist's assessment of positioning status and prognosis of interradicular mini-implants (MI). METHODS Three MI positions were virtually simulated in thirty CBCT volumes: (1) MI 1 mm from the lamina dura (LD), (2) MI touching the LD and (3) MI overlapping the LD. Each position was exposed to orthodontists (n = 35) as panoramic reconstruction, sagittal reconstruction and a sequence of axial slices. Each orthodontist evaluated the MI position (relationship with the LD) and scored the prognosis using a four-point scale (the higher the score, the better the prognosis). Kappa, Friedman and Nemenyi statistics were used. RESULTS Statistically significant associations were detected between the prognosis scores and the type of image visualized (p<0.05). The dynamic visualization of the CBCT volume (axial slices) was associated with higher scores for prognosis and more reliable evaluation of MI positioning. Inconsistent outcomes were more frequently associated with panoramic and sagittal reconstructions. CONCLUSION The dynamic visualization of axial slices allowed orthodontists to perform better assessment of MI position and considerably affected prognosis judgment.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of training residents in an orthodontic program in the placement of miniscrews by using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. A total of 90 miniscrews were placed in 15 pig mandibles over a 3-year period by 15 first-year orthodontic residents. Miniscrews were divided into three groups (Control group: no radiographs; 2D group: placement with 2D radiographs; CBCT group: placement with CBCT). Proximity of the miniscrew to the neighboring root was measured. The miniscrew success rate was examined in the graduate clinic from 2015 to 2021. Results The percentage of root contact for each group was: 36.7% (11/30), 20.0% (6/30), 0% (0/30), for the Control, 2D, and CBCT groups, respectively. The CBCT group was significantly different from the Control and 2D groups (p < 0.05). For root proximity, the miniscrews were significantly closer to the roots in the Control (p < 0.001) and 2D (p < 0.001) groups compared with the CBCT group. No significant difference was observed between the Control and 2D groups (p = 0.80). There was no significant difference among the years in the miniscrew success rate. Conclusions Training the residents in an orthodontic graduate program using CBCT may be helpful to avoid root damage and to decrease the miniscrew failure rate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Skeletally anchored facemask has been proposed to maximize skeletal effects and minimize dental effects in the treatment of Class III malocclusion in growing patients. OBJECTIVE To compare the dento-skeletal effects produced by the facemask with or without skeletal anchorage for the treatment of Class III malocclusion in growing patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and OpenGrey were used for the electronic search without language, publication status, and year restrictions. Only RCTs were included. Inclusion criteria were: growing patients (age under 18 years) with Class III malocclusion, with indications for treatment with the facemask. Data were extracted by two independent reviewers. GRADE statement was executed. The mean of differences (MD) and the risk ratio (RR) were used. RESULTS Three articles with a total of 123 patients were included. One article was at low risk of bias while two were at high risk of bias. There were no significant differences between the two groups in ANB angle, Wits appraisal, SNB angle, and SN-MP angle. SNA angle was significantly increased in the skeletally anchored facemask (pooled MD = 0.80 favouring skeletal anchorage, 95% CI from 0.29 to 1.31, P = 0.002, I2 = 12 per cent, three studies, GRADE moderate). The U1-SN angle was significantly reduced in the skeletally anchored facemask (pooled MD = -5.91 favouring skeletal anchorage, 95% CI from -7.64 to -4.27, P < 0.00001, I2 = 0 per cent, two studies, GRADE moderate). There were significantly less complications in tooth-anchored facemask (pooled RR = 7.98 favouring dental anchorage, 95 per cent CI from 1.04 to 61.27, P = 0.05, I2 = 0 per cent, two studies, GRADE low). LIMITATIONS Few RCTs (three) were included, and two studies were at high risk of bias. There were no long-term RCTs comparing skeletally anchored facemask with dental-anchored facemask. Only Asiatic patients were included in this systematic review. CONCLUSIONS Skeletally anchored facemask was associated to a greater increase of SNA angle at the end of treatment though clinically not significant. Facemask with skeletal anchorage determined a reduced inclination of maxillary incisors compared to dental-anchored facemask with greater risks of complications.

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
Miniscrew has been used widely as an effective orthodontic anchorage with reliable stationary quality, ease of insertion and removal techniques, immediate or early loading, flexibility in site insertion, less trauma, minimal patient cooperation, and lower price. Nonetheless, it is not free of complications, and they could impact not only the miniscrew success rate but also patients’ oral health. In this article, literature was searched and reviewed electronically as well as manually to evaluate the complications of orthodontic miniscrew. The selected articles are analyzed and subcategorized into complications during and after insertion, under loading, and during and after removal along with treatment if needed according to the time. In addition, the noteworthy associated factors such as the insertion and removal procedures, characteristics of both regional and local anatomic structures, and features of the miniscrew itself that play a significant role in the performance of miniscrews are also discussed based on literature evidence. Clinicians should notice these complications and their related factors to make a proper treatment plan with better outcomes.

Abstract
Miniscrew implants (MSIs) have been widely used as temporary anchorage devices in orthodontic clinics. However, one of their major limitations is the relatively high failure rate. We hypothesize that a biomimetic calcium phosphate (BioCaP) coating layer on mini-pin implants might be able to accelerate the osseointegration, and can be a carrier for biological agents. A novel mini-pin implant to mimic the MSIs was used. BioCaP (amorphous or crystalline) coatings with or without the presence of bovine serum albumin (BSA) were applied on such implants and inserted in the metaphyseal tibia in rats. The percentage of bone to implant contact (BIC) in histomorphometric analysis was used to evaluate the osteoconductivity of such implants from six different groups (n=6 rats per group): (1) no coating no BSA group, (2) no coating BSA adsorption group, (3) amorphous BioCaP coating group, (4) amorphous BioCaP coating-incorporated BSA group, (5) crystalline BioCaP coating group, and (6) crystalline BioCaP coating-incorporated BSA group. Samples were retrieved 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks post-surgery. The results showed that the crystalline BioCaP coating served as a drug carrier with a sustained release profile. Furthermore, the significant increase in BIC occurred at week 1 in the crystalline coating group, but at week 2 or week 4 in other groups. These findings indicate that the crystalline BioCaP coating can be a promising surface modification to facilitate early osseointegration and increase the success rate of miniscrew implants in orthodontic clinics.

REVISTA CIENTÍFICA ODONTOLÓGICA 2022; 10:e117.

Abstract
Miniscrews offer the possibility of performing dental movements, minimizing unwanted side effects and enhancing effectiveness. Extra-alveolar miniscrews are ideal as they provide excellent primary stability and avoid anatomical structures. However, in some cases the primary stability is lost before achieving the success of the mechanics used and thus, the most likely causes of failure should be determined. The purpose of this review was to analyze the success rate of infrazygomatic miniscrews, considering their design and the insertion techniques used. Data collection of this literature review was carried out by searching PubMed, Wiley, Google Scholar sites, SCIELO, Elsevier and Dialnet for publication made from 2003 to June 2022. The search was carried out on June 10th, 2022 and the following keywords were used; infrazygomatic crest, miniscrews, anchorage and stability. Different topics were analyzed and discussed highlighting their clinical relevance. After analyzing the 798 articles, 566 were excluded. The remaining articles were re-analyzed and 153 articles were excluded for the title or abstract and 33 articles were excluded for the methodology. Finally, 46 items remained. After thoroughly analyzing all the articles included, this study concluded that the alloy of the miniscrew (stainless steel or titanium), perforation of the maxillary sinus and the placement area (adhered mucosa or mobile mucosa) do not influence the survival of the miniscrew. The evidence also indicates that the percentage of failure is lower in infrazygomatic compared to intraradicular miniscrews. Orthodontists can confidently and safely include infrazygomatic miniscrew in different orthodontic procedures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This randomized controlled trial (RCT) aims to investigate the short-term effects of chlorhexidine mouthwash (MW) on gingival health surrounding orthodontic miniscrew implants (OMIs) and their overall survivability. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-two participants (mean age, 22.8 years) undergoing fixed orthodontic appliance treatment after maxillary premolar extraction were randomly allocated in a parallel fashion to either receive (1) MW with an active component of chlorhexidine, or (2) a placebo. Each participant received two maxillary buccal OMIs for anchorage reinforcement purposes. Participants were assessed for their gingival oral health status around all inserted OMIs and had their OMI survivability recorded at three time points; T1=1 month, T2=3 months, and T3=6 months after OMI placement. A Kaplan Meier plot was used to estimate the survival function of OMIs. RESULTS All randomized participants completed the follow-up period. In terms of gingival oral health, there were no statistically significant differences at any time point between the chlorhexidine MW group and the placebo-controlled group (P > 0.05). One OMI was lost in the chlorhexidine MW group and another two OMIs in the control group. There was no significant difference between both groups in terms of survivability (P = 0.585). CONCLUSION The use of chlorhexidine MW does not seem to have a significant clinical impact on the gingival health around OMIs or their survivability in this pilot study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy of vertical control by using conventional mini-implant anchorage in maxillary posterior buccal area for Angle class Ⅱ extraction patients. METHODS Twenty-eight Angle class Ⅱ patients [9 males, 19 females, and age (22.6±2.8) years] were selected in this study. All of these patients were treated by using straight wire appliance with 4 premolars extraction and 2 mini-implant anchorage in maxillary posterior buccal area. In this study, the self-control method was used to measure and analyze the lateral radiographs taken before and after orthodontic treatment in each case, the main cephalometric analysis items were related to vertical changes. The digitized lateral radiographs were imported into Dolphin Imaging Software (version 11.5: Dolphin Imaging and Management Solutions, Chatsworth, California, USA), and marked points were traced. Each marked point was confirmed by two orthodontists. The same orthodontist performed measurement on the lateral radiographs over a period of time. All measurement items were required to be measured 3 times, and the average value was taken as the final measurement result. RESULTS Analysis of the cephalometric radiographs showed that, for vertical measurements after treatment, the differences of the following measurements were highly statistically significant (P < 0.001): SN-MP decreased by (1.40±1.45) degrees on average, FMA decreased by (1.58±1.32) degrees on average, the back-to-front height ratio (S-Go/N-Me) decreased by 1.42%±1.43% on average, Y-axis angle decreased by (1.03±0.99) degrees on average, face angle increases by (1.37±1.05) degree on average; The following measurements were statistically significant (P < 0.05): the average depression of the upper molars was (0.68±1.40) mm, and the average depression of the upper anterior teeth was (1.07±1.55) mm. The outcomes indicated that there was a certain degree of upper molar depression after the treatment, which produced a certain degree of counterclockwise rotation of the mandibular plane, resulting in a positive effect on the improvement of the profile. CONCLUSION The conventional micro-implant anchorage in maxillary posterior buccal area has a certain vertical control ability, and can give rise to a certain counterclockwise rotation of the mandible, which would improve the profile of Angle Class Ⅱ patients.

Abstract
As digital workflows are gaining popularity, novel treatment options have also arisen in orthodontics. By using selective laser melting (SLM), highly customized 3D-printed appliances can be manufactured and combined with preformed components. When combined with temporary anchorage devices (TADs), the advantages of the two approaches can be merged, which might improve treatment efficacy, versatility, and patient comfort. This article summarizes state-of-the-art technologies and digital workflows to design and install 3D-printed skeletally anchored orthodontic appliances. The advantages and disadvantages of digital workflows are critically discussed, and examples for the clinical application of mini-implant and mini-plate borne appliances are demonstrated.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objectives of this study were to analyze and compare the accuracy and intraoperative complications of orthodontic self-tapping and orthodontic self-drilling microscrew placement techniques. METHODS A total of 60 orthodontic microscrews were randomly distributed into 2 study groups: (1) group A, orthodontic self-drilling microscrew placement technique (n = 30); and (2) group B, orthodontic self-tapping microscrew placement technique (n = 30). Cone-beam computed tomography and intraoral scans were performed before and after the orthodontic microscrew placement techniques and uploaded in 3-dimensional implant planning software to analyze the deviation angle and the horizontal deviation measured at the coronal entry point and apical endpoint between orthodontic microscrews planned and performed, using the Student t test. In addition, intraoperative complications, such as root perforations after the orthodontic microscrews placement and the fracture of the orthodontic self-tapping microscrews during their placement, were also analyzed. RESULTS The paired t test revealed statistically significant differences at the apical endpoint (P <0.001) between planned and performed orthodontic self-tapping and self-drilling microscrew placement techniques. However, the paired t test revealed no statistically significant differences at the coronal entry point (P = 0.1047) and angular deviations (P = 0.3251) between planned and performed orthodontic self-tapping and self-drilling microscrews placement techniques. Furthermore, 4 root perforations were observed at the orthodontic self-tapping microscrews placement technique, and 1 orthodontic self-tapping microscrew was fractured during the placement procedure. CONCLUSIONS The results show that the orthodontic self-drilling microscrew technique increases the accuracy of orthodontic microscrews placement, resulting in fewer intraoperative complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the dental arch changes produced by the miniscrew-supported palatal crib (MSPC) and the conventional fixed palatal crib (CFPC) after the treatment of patients with anterior open bite (AOB) attributed to the tongue-thrusting habit in the mixed dentition stage. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 26 children aged 8 to 11 years with an AOB were randomly distributed into two equal groups; the MSPC group was treated using a palatal crib supported by two miniscrews inserted paramedially, whereas the CFPC group was treated using a conventional fixed palatal crib soldered to bands. Digital models were obtained pretreatment and after a follow-up duration of 9 months. RESULTS The MSPC group included 12 participants (9 girls and 3 boys; mean age, 9.4 ± 0.75 years), and the CFPC group included 12 participants (10 girls and 2 boys; mean age, 9.0 ± 0.73 years). The amount of AOB closure was similar in both groups: 3.97 ± 1.44 mm in the MSPC group and 3.97 ± 0.89 mm in the CFPC group. There was significant mesial movement of the maxillary first molar in the CFPC (-1.42 ± 0.99 mm) compared with the MSPC group (-0.53 ± 0.32 mm). CONCLUSIONS Both appliances resulted in similar improvement in the amount of AOB closure. There was significantly more mesial movement of the maxillary first molars in the CFPC group compared with the MSPC group.

Abstract
This case report describes the interdisciplinary treatment of a 23-year-old female with Class III malocclusion and a missing maxillary left second premolar. Treatment alternatives were discussed, and the selected treatment plan was presented to illustrate a way to gain space for the premolar implant restoration and correct Class III relationship through maxillary molar retraction followed by maxillary total arch protraction with a palatal temporary skeletal anchorage device. Esthetic anterior alignment and functional occlusal rehabilitation was achieved, and facial balance was maintained at the end of treatment. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Implant restoration in conjunction with regaining orthodontic space by a team of multidisciplinary dental specialists presents an effective treatment solution to permanent tooth agenesis. Class III malocclusion can be treated with a combination of maxillary protraction and mandibular retraction using temporary skeletal anchorage devices. The versatility of modified palatal C-plates presents greater clinical application when related side effects are controlled with solid understanding of their biomechanics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surface treatment of miniscrews was implemented to determine whether its application increased bone-to-surface contact and enhanced the interlock between the device and the surrounding bone. OBJECTIVES To compare the success rate of surface-treated and non-treated orthodontic miniscrews used as reinforcement of anchorage during treatment with the Herbst appliance. TRIAL DESIGN Split-mouth design with an allocation ratio of 1:1. METHODS Eligibility criteria to enrol patients were skeletal and dental class II patients with a retrusive chin, use of the Herbst appliance to correct malocclusion, need for skeletal anchorage using a miniscrew both in the left and right side of the mouth, absence of systemic diseases, absence of using drugs that alter bone metabolism, and good oral hygiene. Patients received self-drilling miniscrews without surface treatment and with surface treatment. Both types presented a 1.4 or 1.2 mm diameter. Miniscrews were inserted between the first molar and second premolars or between the two premolars. The force applied to the screws was an elastic chain from the head of the miniscrews to a direct button applied on the canines. The success rate of each type of miniscrew was considered the primary outcome, and the association of success with demographical, clinical, and geometrical characteristics was investigated. Differences were tested by the generalised linear mixed effects model for the split-mouth design. Differences with a P-value < 0.05 were selected as significant. RANDOMISATION A randomisation list was created for the mouth side assignment. BLINDING The study was single blinded with regard to the statistical analysis. RESULTS Thirty-nine miniscrews of the non-treated type and 39 miniscrews of the surface-treated type were inserted in 39 patients (23 female and 16 male, mean age: 15.55 ± 7.91) recruited between March 2018 and December 2020 with a split-mouth study design. The mean therapy duration was 9.3 months (SD = 1.31). No differences in failure rate were observed between miniscrew types. No serious harm was observed. CONCLUSIONS The success rate of surface-treated and non-treated miniscrews showed no significant differences. REGISTRATION This trial was not registered.

Abstract
AIM: The aim of the study is to assess the failure rate after mini-screw insertion using digital three-dimensional printed guide versus free hand placement technique through a well-designed split-mouth randomized clinical trial.
METHODS: Forty-two patients with mean age (22.56 ± 3.47 years) indicated for upper first premolars’ extraction (Bimaxillary protrusion and Class II division 1) were included in the study. Their maxillary quadrants were randomized to receive mini-screws as means of anchorage. Pre-operative maxillary cone-beam computed tomography scan with ultra-low-dose protocol was imaged and the maxillary arch was scanned using intra-oral scanner to obtain stereo-lithographic format file for the maxillary arch. Using in vivo and Rapidform Geomagic Studio® _Softwares the mini-screws were planned to be inserted in the buccal inter-radicular space between the upper second premolar and first molar in both right and left sides. For the intervention sides; digital three-dimensional guides were designed and printed for mini-screw insertion. Failure of the mini-screws was assessed till 3 months of loading.
RESULTS: There was no statistical significant difference in failure rate of mini-screws in both intervention (7.14%) and control sides (16.6%), with weak and moderate correlation between the root proximity and the mini-screws failure in intervention and control groups respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: Using a digital three-dimensional printed guide for mini-screw insertion had no effect on the failure rate of the inserted mini-screws.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate success factors implicated in clinical orthodontic miniscrew stability after their interradicular placement in maxilla. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six hundred seventy-six miniscrews were inserted in maxillary interradicular sites in a sample of 276 patients (109 males and 167 females; mean age 19 ± 1.7 years) and immediately loaded. Percentage failure rate was recorded, and the influence of the following factors was investigated: structural (miniscrew length, diameter and body shape), operative (side of insertion site, pilot hole drilling or not) and biological (maximal insertion torque [MIT] and type of gingiva). A chi-square test with Monte Carlo correction was performed to detect the influence of these variables on the failure rate of orthodontic miniscrews. Then both multivariate logistic regression and post hoc analysis were performed, followed by classification and regression tree (CART) analysis. RESULTS The average success rate was 88%. The principal factors implicated in the failure rate were miniscrew length, MIT values and type of gingiva. Specifically, 8 mm miniscrew length, alveolar mucosa and 5-10 Ncm MIT values were linked to higher failure rates. According to CART, the main variable influencing failure is miniscrew length (≤ 8 mm for higher failure rates). For others, MIT values of 5-10 Ncm are linked to higher failure rates (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Orthodontic miniscrews inserted in the maxilla display good success rates. However, clinicians should be discouraged from using miniscrews of length ≤ 8 mm and MIT values < 10 Ncm, even with longer miniscrews. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Information about factors related to failure rate of miniscrews placed at posterior maxillary interradicular sites is given.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to assess the interradicular distance and alveolar bone thickness of Persian adults with different sagittal skeletal patterns for miniscrew insertion using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted on maxillary and mandibular CBCT scans of 60 patients (18–35 years) in three groups (n = 20) of class I, II and III sagittal skeletal pattern. Anatomical and skeletal parameters were measured at 2, 4 and 6 mm apical to the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) by one examiner. The intra- and inter-class correlation coefficients were calculated to assess the intra, and interobserver reliability. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey’s test (alpha = 0.05). Results The intra- and interobserver reliability were > 0.9 for all parameters. The largest inter-radicular distance in the maxilla was between the central incisors (1–1) in classes I and III, and between premolars (4–5) in class II patients. The largest inter-radicular distance in the mandible was between molar teeth (6–7) in all three classes. The buccal cortical plate thickness was maximum at the site of mandibular first and second molars (6–7). The posterior maxilla and mandible showed the maximum thickness of cancellous bone and alveolar process. Wide variations were noted in this respect between class I, II and III patients. Conclusions The area with maximum inter-radicular distance and optimal alveolar bone thickness for miniscrew insertion varies in different individuals, depending on their sagittal skeletal pattern.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Direct and 3D-assisted methods are an available alternative when inserting temporary anchorage devices (TADs) in the anterior palate for orthodontic anchorage. This study aimed to evaluate the differences between a planned insertion versus a direct method on digital models. SETTINGS AND SAMPLE POPULATION Seventy TADs were inserted by the direct insertion method in 35 patients who needed palatal TADs for orthodontic anchorage. For each patient, placement was independently planned by the superimposition of lateral cephalograms and corresponding plaster models. After mini-implant placement, impressions were taken with scanbodies. For the measurement of both linear and angle deviations, virtual planning models and postoperative oral scans were compared using 3D software for automatic surface registration and calculations. RESULTS Comparing TADs positioned by the direct method and the digitally planned method, a mean linear distance was found of 2.54 ± 1.51 mm in the occlusal view and 2.41 ± 1.33 mm in the sagittal view. No significant difference has been found between TADs positioned in the right and left palatal sides. A mean distance of 7.65 ± 2.16 mm was found between the tip of the digitally planned TAD and the central incisors root apex. CONCLUSIONS Both direct and 3D-assisted TAD insertion methods are safe and accurate in the anterior palate. However, the use of insertion guides facilitates TAD insertion, allowing less-experienced clinicians to use palatal implants.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to quantify the changes obtained when the molar intrusion movement is complemented by photobiomodulation (PBM). Background: A common problem in adult patients is the super-eruption of maxillary molars caused by the loss of the antagonist tooth. Super-erupted molars impair oral rehabilitation and can cause both occlusal and functional problems. There is increasing research confirming the benefits of adjunctive PBM during orthodontic treatment. Methods: Twenty patients with indication of a maxillary first molar intrusion for oral rehabilitation were selected. Patients were randomized into two groups to receive orthodontic intrusion (control group) or the same treatment complemented by PBM (PBM group) in repeated doses (days 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 from the start of the intrusion and in each monthly follow-up) by using a low-power red laser diode (670 nm, 150 mW, 12 min around the molar). Plaque index (PI), probing depth (PD), and bleeding of probing (BOP) were assessed at 0, 1, 2, 3, and 6 months. Stereolithography models generated from an intraoral scanner were taken at 0, 3, and 6 months and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) records were taken at 0 and 6 months. Mean intrusion distance, mean intrusion velocity, and volumetric resorption were calculated. Results: Periodontal clinical assessments (PI, PD, and BOP) and mean intrusion distance or mean intrusion velocity yielded no differences (p > 0.05) between groups. However, PBM group showed lower values of all these scores during the first 3 months. Intraoral scanner and CBCT were equally effective in accurately monitoring the intrusion distance (p > 0.05). CBCT records allowed volumetric evaluation of the root resorption process, being lesser in the PBM group, but not significantly (p > 0.05). Conclusions: During orthodontic intrusion process, the adjunctive application of PBM may provide better periodontal records and lower progression of root resorption at the expense of a little lower intrusion distance and velocity.

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
BACKGROUND The influence of low-level-laser therapy (LLLT) on the stability of orthodontic mini-screw implants (MSIs) has not been systematically reviewed. OBJECTIVES The aim was to assess the influence of LLLT on the stability of orthodontic MSIs. METHODS An unrestricted search of indexed databases was performed. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) investigating the influence of LLLT on orthodontic MSI stability. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two authors independently performed study retrieval and selection, and data extraction. The risk of bias (RoB) of individual studies was assessed using the Cochrane RoB Tool for RCTs. Meta-analyses were performed separately for RCTs using periotest and resonance frequency analysis (RFA) to measure MSI stability; and a random effects model was applied. Subgroup analyses were performed based on the time-points of MSI stability evaluation. The quality of available evidence was evaluated using the Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach. RESULTS Initially, 1332 articles were screened. Six RCTs with a split-mouth design were included. The periotest was used in 4 RCTs and 2 RCTs used RFA to measure MSI stability. All RCTs had a low RoB. Subgroup analyses based on periotest indicated that MSIs treated with LLLT had significantly higher stability than untreated MSIs at 21 and 30 days [weighted mean difference (MD) = -2.76, confidence interval (CI): [-4.17, -1.36], P-value = 0.0001) and at 60 days (weighted MD = -3.47, CI: [-4.58, -2.36], P < 0.00001); and the level of certainty was high. Subgroup analyses based on RFA showed higher stability of MSIs treated with than without LLLT at 56 and 60 days (standardized MD = 0.82, CI: [0.32, 1.32], P = 0.001), and at 70 and 90 days (standardized MD = 0.86, CI: [0.36, 1.36], P = 0.0007); and the level of certainty was moderate. LIMITATIONS Due to limited number of relevant studies, it was not possible to perform sensitivity analysis, subgroup analyses for patient and intervention-related characteristics, and reporting biases assessment. CONCLUSIONS The role of LLLT on the secondary stability of MSIs placed in patients undergoing OT remains debatable. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION PROSPERO (CRD42021230291).

Abstract
Background: To determine the optimal implantation site of orthodontic micro-screws based on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) analysis in the mandibular anterior tooth region, provide a theoretical basis for orthodontic implant placement and improve post-implantation stability. Methods: Forty patients who underwent CBCT scanning were selected for this study. CBCT scanning was applied to measure the interradicular distance, buccolingual dimension, labial cortical bone thickness and lingual cortical bone thickness between mandibular anterior teeth at planes 2, 4, 6, and 8 mm below the alveolar ridge crest. The data were measured and collected to obtain a comprehensive evaluation of the specific site conditions of the alveolar bone. Results: The interradicular distance, buccolingual dimension and labial cortical bone thickness between the mandibular anterior teeth were positively correlated with the distance below the alveolar ridge crest (below 8 mm). The interradicular distance, buccolingual dimension, labial cortical bone thickness, and lingual cortical bone thickness were all greater than those in other areas between the lateral incisor root and canine incisor root 4, 6, and 8 mm below the alveolar ridge crest. Conclusion: The area between the lateral incisor root and the canine incisor root in planes 4, 6, and 8 mm from the alveolar ridge crest can be used as safe sites for implantation, while 8 mm below the alveolar ridge crest can be the optimal implantation site. An optimal implantation site can be 8 mm below the alveolar ridge crest between the lateral incisor root and the canine incisor root.

Abstract
Bone-borne rapid maxillary expansion distraction devices are used to achieve a more skeletal expansion and to avoid dental side effects of conventional expanders such as tipping of anchorage teeth. In this article, we report the use of a prefabricated expander fixed on 2 mini-implants in the anterior palate. This allows for the insertion of the mini-implants and the expander to occur without the need for an impression or any laboratory procedures. Especially when aligners are going to be used, the use of a mini-implant-borne expander seems to be reasonable because the expander can be left in place as a skeletal retainer during the aligner finishing.

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
OBJECTIVES To compare torque recordings of immediately loaded orthodontic miniscrews between insertion time and different post-placement timepoints (2 weeks, 4 weeks and removal time, respectively). SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION Parallel trial with an allocation ratio of 1:1. Eligibility criteria were needs of fixed orthodontic treatment, no systemic disease and absence of using drugs altering bone metabolism. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients received miniscrews, 2.0 mm diameter and 10 mm length. All miniscrews underwent inter-radicular placement, and they were placed in the maxilla or in the mandible, palatally or buccally. No pre-drilling was performed. Miniscrews were loaded immediately after the insertion and were used for distalization, intrusion, extrusion, mesialization or indirect anchorage. Patients were randomly divided into three groups. For each patient, Maximum Insertion Torque (MIT) was evaluated at baseline. MIT was measured again after 2 weeks and after 4 weeks by tightening the screw a quarter of turn in Groups 1 and 2, respectively. At the end of the treatment, maximal removal torque was evaluated in Group 3. Torque variation with respect to insertion time was considered as the primary outcome. Baseline and longitudinal differences were tested using the linear mixed-effects (LME) model. RESULTS Forty seven patients and 74 miniscrews were followed up. An association existed between maximum insertion torque and the observation time. A torque decrease of 26.9% and 30% after 2 weeks was observed for mandibular and maxillary miniscrews, respectively. After 1 month, torque values were similar to the baseline records. The overall success rate was 79.7%. No serious harm was observed. CONCLUSIONS Maximum insertion torque undergoes a loss during the first 2 weeks, and its values may depend on the insertion site and the anchorage purpose. Removal torque value is almost the same as the initial torque after 1 month.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Safe zone maps are useful for the clinician to plan miniscrew insertion and possibly reduce radiation exposure. This study aimed to investigate the available evidence regarding the presence of sufficient interradicular space and adequate cortical bone thickness in patients with a complete permanent dentition, in the vestibular and palatal or lingual interradicular sites, mesial to the second molar. METHODS PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and OpenGrey databases were searched up to January 2019 for observational studies involving patients with fully erupted second molars that investigated the amount of interradicular space and/or the cortical thickness of the alveolar processes using 3-dimensional data sets. A custom tool was prepared and used to assess the risk of bias in individual studies. A meta-analysis was performed when at least 4 different studies evaluated 1 identical parameter homogeneously. Publication bias was assessed with the Egger linear regression test. RESULTS Twenty-seven observational articles were included in the qualitative synthesis. Only 11 articles were at low risk of bias. Fifteen articles were included in the meta-analysis. The results were graphically reported in "safe-zone" maps. CONCLUSIONS In the maxilla, the most suitable insertion sites are those from mesial to the first molar to distal to the first premolar, and between the canine and the lateral incisor, all at 6 mm from the cementoenamel junction. In those areas, the cortical bone has adequate thickness, not requiring predrilling. In the mandible, the preferable vestibular interradicular spaces are those between first and second molars and between first and second premolars, both at 5 mm from the cementoenamel junction, and predrilling is suggested in these areas. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER PROSPERO CRD42016042081.

Multifunctional Templates for Minimized Osteotomy, Implantation, and Palatal Distraction with a Mini-Screw-Assisted Expander in Schizodontism and Maxillary Deficit. Case Rep Dent 2020; 2020:8816813. [PMID: 32963840 PMCID: PMC7499279 DOI: 10.1155/2020/8816813] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2020] [Revised: 08/19/2020] [Accepted: 08/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Schizodontism is complete separation of a dental germ. It results in a twin tooth and supernumerary teeth. The treatment of transverse constriction in combination with supernumerary dental germs and impacted central incisors can pose a challenge, especially in young patients, when the number of permanent teeth is not adequate to ensure secure anchorage. The use of navigation templates based on three-dimensional X-ray images allows for precise insertion of temporary mini-implants for the acquisition of palatal distractors. In addition, templates allow for minimally invasive biopsies and osteotomies. Methods The treatment of schizodontism, dentitio tarda, and transverse constriction is to be assessed as an interdisciplinary method by using mini-screw-assisted devices. Minimized osteotomy of impacted supernumerary teeth or dental implantation can be carried out in a one-step-procedure based on digital preplanning and prefabrication of orthodontic devices. Results Multifunctional templates allow for early planning, preoperative fabrication, and intraoral fixation of orthodontic appliances. In the case of an adolescent patient, a sustainable, interdisciplinary treatment concept could be demonstrated that shows age-appropriate gnathological development and stable growth conditions over a follow-up period of 10 years. Conclusion One can likely assume that multifunctional templates allow for minimally invasive one-step surgeries as an interdisciplinary tool between orofacial surgery and modern orthodontics.
