Abstract

Among the numerous factors that can affect success or failure rates of orthodontic mini-implants (OMIs), some factors are well studied but others are neglected or ignored in spite of basic and clinical importance. The purpose of this chapter was to describe important but ignored results from basic researches such as shape and microstructure of OMIs, surface treatment of OMIs, predrilling before OMI installation, microdamage in the cortical bone, wobbling of OMIs during manual installation, root contact with OMIs, and fracture properties of OMIs. If more concern about these issues would be given, better clinical results might be obtained.
