Influence of the Geometric Characteristics of the Mini-Implants on Mechanicals Properties Using Artificial Bone Similar to Anterior, Middle and Posterior Regions of the Jaws
Abstract:The objective of this study was to identify the best torque of insertion and removal of mini-implants with a twin screw design (compact and self-drilling) into artificial bones with density and trabecular thickness, similar to anterior, middle and posterior regions of the jaws. Observation of the mini-implants surface using electron microscopy was performed before and after the tests. The torque values obtained during the insertion and removal was measured by digital torque wrench. The analyzed results led to … Show more
