minimal stimulation in vitro fertilization (mini-ivf) consists of a gentle controlled ovarian stimulation that aims to produce a maximum of five to six oocytes. there is a misbelief that mini-ivf severely compromises pregnancy and live birth rates. an appraisal of the literature pertaining to studies on mini-ivf protocols was performed. the advantages of minimal stimulation protocols are report...

background: reusing orthodontic mini-screws would reduce treatment cost and lead to more use of mini-screws and improvement of orthodontic treatments. this study has assessed the effects of reprocessing and reusing the titanium mini-screws on their maximum insertion, removal and fracture torque (ft). materials and methods: in this experimental study, 20 titanium mini-screws (1.6-mm × 8-mm) were...

a 16-year-old class ii female patient was treated without tooth extraction. the upper first molars were distalized by the pendulum appliance. after six months, the molars tipped significantly to the distal. to correct this side effect, we decided to upright the molars using skeletal anchorage. on each side, a mini-screw was inserted between first and second premolars in the buccal cortical plat...
