Optimizing orthodontic anchorage: comparative evaluation of larger diameter, shorter length mini-implants for enhanced mechanical stability

Folia Med (Plovdiv). 2024 Dec 31;66(6):849-862. doi: 10.3897/folmed.66.e130813.

Abstract

We aim to assess and contrast the mechanical stability of two mini-implant designs, featuring larger diameters and shorter lengths, for orthodontic anchorage against a conventional group of implants.

Keywords: anchorage compression lateral displacement mini-implants torque tension.
