Unlabelled: The aim of this study was to assess histologically the bone changes around immediately loaded mini screws and whether there is a difference in those changes upon using corticotomy facilitated (CF) orthodontic tooth movement technique, in comparison to standard (S) orthodontic tooth movement technique.
Materials And Methods: Six dogs, aged 6-9 months, were used in this study. Extraction of the maxillary second premolar and mini screw placement were done bilaterally in the maxilla. On the right (CF) side, corticotomy was performed. The first premolars were distalized against the mini screws with NiTi coil springs on both sides. The dogs were sacrificed weekly after orthodontic force application.
Results: Histological analysis showed that osseous formation was progressive around the mini screw along the period of the study in both groups, although osseointegration was not found. There was a histological difference in the peri-screw bone between the two groups. In (S) side the bone formation started much earlier than the (CF) side.
Conclusions: During the six weeks period of this study the mini screws depended mainly on mechanical interlocking in their retention. The (CF) technique delayed the osseous bone formation around the mini screws in comparison to the (S) technique.

Mandibular molar distalization is a complex orthodontic movement due to anatomic and biomechanical limitations. The opportunity to use a custom-made appliance with skeletal anchorage should be an advantageous alternative to traditional solutions: multiple extractions, interproximal reductions, vestibular inclination of incisal group. : A 14-year-old female patient with Class II malocclusion and ectopic upper and lower canines was treated in the lower arch with a custom-made appliance anchored on a mini-screw in the right buccal-shelf where the ectopy and crowding was severe.

Dental implants are commonly employed to address edentulism, while orthodontic treatments often incorporate mini-screws to enhance tooth movement and provide stable anchorage. Both procedures are integral to modern dental practice and frequently interact in comprehensive care scenarios. While oral health professionals routinely assess patients' medical histories before procedures, undiagnosed coagulopathies, such as Von Willebrand Disease (VWD), can present significant challenges when invasive procedures are carried out, such as the insertion of implants or mini-implants.

Dental implants have revolutionized tooth replacement, offering a functional and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional dentures and bridges. While conventional implants, typically titanium screws placed into the jawbone, have become the gold standard, many studies explore non-conventional implant designs and materials to address specific challenges and patient needs. This series of literature reviews aimed to delve into non-conventional dental implants, examining their unique features and applications and the current state of evidence supporting their use.

Objective: This paper analyses the mechanical response of mini-implants under pull-out, push-in, and shear forces.
Materials And Methods: The authors have devised a specialized testing apparatus, using a universal testing machine, for the mechanical characterisation of orthodontic mini-implants (OMI) installed in pig hard palate. The experimental investigation encompasses seven screw types, each subjected to pull-out, push-in, and shear forces.

Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on the changes in palatal rugae (the ridges on the hard palate) following orthodontic treatment, investigating whether their shape, complexity, and area are affected by treatment with or without tooth extractions.
- Researchers analyzed pre- and post-treatment plaster models from a sample of 61 cases, using advanced software to measure changes in the outlines, fractal dimensions (complexity), and area occupied by the rugae.
- Results showed significant differences in the distance between pre- and post-treatment outlines for extraction versus non-extraction groups, but no significant changes in the complexity of the rugae before and after treatment.
