“…This value is much higher than values previously reported in India 43.7% and France 66%, but is similar that reported by a survey conducted in the United States 80%. [19][20][21] A large proportion of respondents 40.6% in present study indicated that they had been using mini-screws for 1-5 years. A similar proportion of respondents 39.1% indicated that they had only used mini-screws in 1-10 cases, verifying the status of mini-screw implantation as a fairly new technique in Saudi Arabia.…”

“…20 Furthermore, 60.2% practitioners in our study indicated that they loaded mini-screws immediately after placement, which is less than that reported in another study 93.6%. 19 Loading time may differ depending on the given case. Authors noted that professionals in the public sector used radiography and immediate loading more frequently than did professionals in the private sector (p <0.05).…”

“…17,18 A recent study based in France investigated the habits of French orthodontists using mini-screws in clinical practice. 19 Meeran et al, similarly investigated the use of mini-screws among orthodontists in India, and several such studies have been conducted in the United States. [20][21][22] In contrast, orthodontic mini-screw implants are relatively new in Saudi Arabia, such that no study to date has investigated mini-screw implantation in this context.…”

Background: Orthodontic anchorage is a technique used to avoid undesired tooth movement. The miniature screw (mini-screw) implant is an orthodontic innovation that was introduced to circumvent the limitations of conventional anchorage systems. Mini-screws, known as temporary anchorage devices (TADs), give clinicians good control over tooth movement in 3 dimensions and can assist orthodontists in anchorage-demanding cases.Methods: A questionnaire was distributed by online survey using SurveyMonkey and on paper during orthodontic meetings in Saudi Arabia. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software (version 23, IBM). A 2-way cross-tabulation and Fisher’s exact or Pearson chi-square tests were used to evaluate statistically significant differences. A P-value < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.Results: Of 133 respondents, 72 (54.1%) of practitioners worked in the governmental sector and 61 (45.9%) worked in the private sector. A total of (87.3%) of practitioners in the governmental sector and (80%) of practitioners in the private sector reported using mini-screws in clinical practice. Practitioners who reported that they did not use mini-screws in clinical practice listed the following reasons: “I don’t have enough information” (33.3%), “It’s a surgeon’s job” (11.1%), “Not available in the hospital” (29.6%), and “Other” (25.9%). A total of 60.2% of practitioners loaded mini-screws immediately, 8.3% loaded them 1 week after implantation, 11.3% loaded them 2-3 weeks after implantation, and 3.8% loaded them >3 weeks after implantation. Regarding the method of placement, 63.2% of practitioners used radiography for placement guidance/confirmation, 9.8% used a self-made guide, and 8.3% did not use a guide.Conclusions: Lack of education and training are major reasons that practitioners do not use orthodontic mini-screws in Saudi Arabia. Increased efforts to organize seminars and workshops may motivate practitioners to incorporate mini-screw usage into routine practice.

“…A previous study evaluated 1691 orthodontists in India and reported that 56.3% had never used miniscrews while 43.7% reported the use of miniscrews for their patients [6]. Of French orthodontists, 66% reported the use of miniscrews in their daily practice [7]. In the United States, miniscrews are less commonly used, although orthodontists favored miniscrews in five states [8].…”

AIM: In recent years, miniscrews are extensively used for anchorage in orthodontic treatments. This study aimed to assess the frequency of using miniscrew anchorage by the Iranian orthodontists in 2020. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This descriptive, cross-sectional study evaluated 70 Iranian orthodontists. After obtaining their written informed consent, a questionnaire was emailed to them. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by four faculty members and its reliability was determined to be 75% by calculating the Cronbach’s alpha after administering it among 40 orthodontists. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22. RESULTS: Of 97 administered questionnaires, 70 were filled out and returned (response rate=72.16%) by 42 males and 28 females. Of participants, 62.3% reported using miniscrews in their practice. Furthermore, 96.6% of the orthodontists reported that they would place the miniscrews by themselves. The majority of orthodontists (98.3%) were completely or relatively satisfied with the efficacy of miniscrews, and 93.5% recommended the use of miniscrews to their colleagues. Factors such as poor expertise in miniscrew insertion, doubts about its advantages, high cost, and time-consuming placement were the main reasons for reluctance of some orthodontists in using miniscrews. CONCLUSION: Considering the high efficacy of miniscrews for orthodontic treatment and high satisfaction level of Iranian orthodontists with miniscrews, their application is expected to rise by the Iranian orthodontists after eliminating the existing limitations against their widespread use.
