A New Guiding Template for Mini-Implant Placement in Orthodontics

Abstract

Currently, mini-implants have become the boon for anchorage in orthodontics because of their many advantages such as ease of insertion and removal, small size, and patient compliance. The site of implant placement is a prime consideration because of risk of injury to root of teeth, especially when inserted between teeth. Placement of implant at improper position can result in improper bone support and stability when mini-implants are loaded. Therefore, it is important to select insertion site by clinical and radiographic evaluation. Many techniques have been introduced to facilitate the mini-implant placement but requires more time for guide fabrication or inconsistent in radiographic interpretation. This article shows a new implant placement guide which is easy to fabricate, less time-consuming, reliable, and more accurate for implant insertion.

Two-dimensional radiographs versus cone-beam computed tomography in planning mini-implant placement: A systematic review

“…The ideal positioning of orthodontic mini-implants is essential for achieving successful treatment with skeletal anchorage ( 39 ). Radiographic guides can provide more accurate locations, ( 55 ) and optimize clinical success and treatment safety rates ( 56 ). Kalra et al .…”

“…Penempatan mini implant ortodonti pada posisi yang tidak tepat dapat mengakibatkan dukungan dan stabilitas tulang yang tidak tepat saat mini implant ortodonti diberikan gaya. 16 Karakteristik mini implant ortodonti yang menjadikannya penjangkaran ideal pada bidang ortodonti yakni memiliki kekuatan yang cukup untuk menahan gaya ortodonti, kemudahan pemasangan dan pelepasan, serta low cost. 17 Sliding mechanics dengan mini implant ortodonti pada rahang atas menyediakan anchorage untuk retraksi dengan mekanisme pergerakan bodily movement dengan membuat gaya melewati center of resistance, dengan konstruksi dari garis gaya diletakkan sedekat mungkin dengan center of resistance dengan bantuan lever arm di anterior.…”

“…Except, this frame is made rectangular in shape and care is to be taken that it does not extend any further than the last welded wire. It has previously been made by Khan W et al 2 1. After getting a rectangular mesh of 20 x 10 mm, two wires of 0.016" x 0.022" SS are welded horizontally along the 5 t h and 6 t h horizontal wires (Figure 6 A and B).…”
