Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of miniscrews thread shape on the stress distribution receiving a torque load. Seven thread shapes (S,V1,V2,B1,B2,R1,R2) models were constructed and a 6 Nmm-torque load was applied. The order of maximum equivalent stress (EQV) value was V1 > V2 > B1 > R1 > R2 > B2 > S. The order of maximum displacement of miniscrew (Max DM) value was S > B2 > R1 = V1 > B1 > V2 > R2. Model R2 may be the most appropriate thread shape affording a torque force.
