Risk factors and success rates associated with orthodontic mini-implants: a literature review

摘要

Success rates and failure risk factors are among the most common concerns a dental professional?has regarding mini-implants. This paper reports the results of a literature review whose objective?was to examine average success rate as well as failure risk factors concerning patient, clinicians?and mini-implants. The variables associated with risk factors that significantly influence mini-implants?success rates are jaw insertion, insertion site, insertion torque, keratinized tissue band (which is?associated with hygiene), proximity of the tooth root, cortical bone thickness, and the patient’s age. It?has been shown that orthodontic mini-implants have a modest failure rate of 13.5%, and an average?success rate of 86.22%, demonstrating its clinical utility.
