Dr. Mehraj ud din bhat, Dr. Sarib gul

Background: Recently, there has been a surge in the clinical use of temporary anchoring devices (TADs), particularly orthodontic mini-implants. The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical orthodontic mini implant application-related parameters. Materials & Methods: 106 patients of both genders who received micro implants were included in the current study. Recorded were patient-related factors such implant length, systemic illnesses, bone width, and malocclusion. Results: Forty females and sixty guys were present. 52 dental implants were placed in women and 80 in men. In patients with 42 systemic disorders, there were 22 small implants that failed. Type IV bone (12) had the highest implant failure rate, followed by type III (10), II (8), and I (12), as well as 10 in 68 patients with a height of more than 12 mm, 12 in 42 patients with a height of 10–12 mm, and 10 in 22 patients with a height of less than 10 mm. Conclusion: Authors found that factors such as bone height, width, malocclusion, systemic diseases and bone type determine the outcome of mini implants. Key words: Anchorage, Malocclusion, Mini implants.
