Abstract:
 Objectives: This work aimed to determine the stress distribution around a mini-implant during dynamic canine retraction utilizing continuous and intermittent orthodontic forces three-dimensional finite element model.
 Materials Methods: Establishing model of retraction. The incorporates mini-implant, alveolar bone, maxillary teeth, closed coil spring, an elastic chain. They...

This study aimed to quantify the microdamage cortical bone of different thickness and maximum insertion torque during orthodontic miniscrew implant (OMI) placement with without a pilot hole. Forty-five porcine specimens were prepared thicknesses 1.5, 2 2.5 mm. Ten per had hole drilled prior an OMI, remaining 15 OMI inserted. Sequential staining was used identify damage caused by preparation sur...

In this article, we report the successful use of miniscrews in the distalization of the lower dentition to correct an Angle class III malocclusion with lower anterior crowding in a dolichofacial adult patient. Conventional intraoral and extraoral appliances have many disadvantages, including the need for patient cooperation, potential for anchorage loss, and vertical extrusion of upper molars a...
