Abstract
This study was designed to increase understanding of mini-implants as well as causes of mini-implant complications and failure in orthodontic patients. Orthodontic case sheets were evaluated to identify retraction in mini-implant cases. Samples were taken and tabulated to determine causes and sites of mini-implant failure. The overall success rate of mini-implants over a period of 3 months postplacement follow-up was 83.5%, indicating that screw implants can be used for orthodontic anchorage. To minimize failure, clinicians should attempt to reduce inflammation around screw implants.
