| Summary: | Introduction:
Mini-implants have become an essential component of contemporary orthodontic treatment, providing enhanced anchorage for various tooth movements. Understanding the elements affecting the mini-implants success rate is crucial for optimizing treatment outcomes. The objective of this study is to comprehensively examine and compile the body of research on orthodontic factors that influence mini-implant success.
Methods:
Using electronic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, a thorough literature search was carried out to find pertinent publications published up until the February 2021 knowledge cutoff date. The search strategy focused on studies investigating orthodontic variables such as patient characteristics, anatomical factors, surgical techniques, and biomechanical considerations impacting the success of mini-implants.
Results:
A variety of orthodontic factors that affect mini-implant success rates are covered in this review. Biomechanical factors, encompassing loading conditions and orthodontic forces, are discussed for their impact on mini-implant stability and success.
Discussion:
The synthesis of existing evidence provides valuable insights into the multifaceted nature of orthodontic variables affecting mini-implant success. Clinicians must consider a holistic approach, integrating patient-specific factors, precise surgical techniques, and biomechanical considerations to enhance the predictability and longevity of mini-implant-supported orthodontic treatments.
Conclusion:
Understanding the etiological factors that influence micro implants’ success is crucial for orthodontic therapy to be successful. It can be beneficial for physicians to understand the reasons behind mini-implant failure to enhance their clinical practice |
