Objective: This study evaluated the biomechanical effects of a metallic orthodontic mini-implant (OMI) covered with various types of angled revolving cap on the peri-OMI bone and the canine periodontal ligament (PDL) by finite element (FE) analyses.
Materials And Methods: Three-dimensional FE models included comprised cortical bone and cancellous bone of the maxilla, and the OMIs were created. The forces (0.98 N) pulled in both the canine hook and the revolving cap, pulling towards each other in both directions as loading conditions. The upper surface of the maxilla was fixed as a boundary condition.
Results: The bone stresses were increasing in the models by using OMI covered with a revolving cap as compared with that in the conventional model (in which only the OMI was placed). However, no obvious differences in bone stresses were observed among the models with various types of angled revolving cap. The minimum principal strain in the canine PDL was highest for condition 180T, followed by condition 180L. However, the maximum differences in the values between each experimental model and the conventional model were around 5%.
Conclusion: This study showed no obvious effects in decreasing or increasing stress/strain in bone and PDL by using various types of angled revolving cap covered metallic mini-implant in orthodontic treatment of canine retraction.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the mental health crisis in Haiti due to drug trafficking, violence, and political instability, comparing experiences between Haitian communities in Haiti and the U.S.
- Focus groups with 28 participants revealed key stressors like violence, unemployment, and family separation, leading to mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.
- Effective coping strategies identified included peer support, leisure activities, and spirituality, while barriers to mental health care were marked by stigma and lack of resources.
Background: Transnational drug trafficking, political unrest, gang violence, and paramilitarism, which are pervasive in Haiti, have resulted in a mental health crisis for the broader Haitian community. This study explores the mental well-being of Haitians in Haiti and the United States by identifying barriers and facilitators to mental health through the lived experiences of men and women.
Method: Four Focus group discussions conducted in April and November 2023 engaged 28 participants (20 women and eight men) aged between 23 and 60 years from locations in Haiti (Port-au-Prince, Cite Soleil, Cayes, Cap-Haitien, Saint-Marc) and the United States.

Purpose: This study is to develop a plastic revolving (translation and rotation) temporary anchorage cap (TAC) as the orthodontic anchor and evaluate its biomechanical safety and clinical used feasibility.
Materials And Methods: The TAC was designed to connect onto a mini-implant head with 45-degree switching unit and extended arm for tying an orthodontic elastic chain/coil spring. The removal force between the TAC and mini-implant head and torque resistance on the mini-implant/bone interface were performed to evaluate the biomechanical safety.

This study evaluates the biomechanical interactions of a mini-implant using a plastic revolving cap (PRC) with translation/rotation features for optional orthodontic traction. An orthodontic mini-implant and the PRC consisting of a hexagon connection onto mini-implant with 60 degree switching unit and an extended arm to provide orthodontic wire tied at different positions. The PRC removal force was measured by pull-out testing.
