Abstract

Background: Successful orthodontic therapy has always depended upon on intraoral anchorage with a great resistance to displacement. Osseointegrated implants are considered reliable sources of anchorage for orthodontists hence; the present study was undertaken for assessing the outcome of orthodontic Mini dental implants. Materials & methods: A total of 100 patients were enrolled. In all the involved patients, one or more self-drilling mini-screws were inserted. Orthodontic mini-implants were considered successful when they proved a perfect skeletal anchorage during the entire treatment period (independent from the period's length) without sign of mobility. All the results were recorded and analysed using SPSS software. Results: Success was observed in 85 percent of the cases. Failure was seen in 15 percent of the cases. Among the failure cases, inflammation was the cause in 10 percent of the cases while screw fracture was seen in 5 percent of the cases. Conclusion: Under the hands of skilled and experienced clinician, self-drilling orthodontic mini-implants had excellent prognosis.
