Brief Summary:
The orthodontic mini-implants used in the study are temporary screws inserted into the bone to provide anchorage for challenging tooth movements that could not be carried out using the patient's own teeth. They are made of a medical grade titanium alloy (Ti6Al4Va), with a length of 8 mm and a diameter of 1.3 mm. After the completion of the treatment phase requiring specific anchorage, they are removed and disposed of as a medical waste.
The insertion of the mini-screw is conditioned by the individual treatment plan and the treatment protocol would not differ from the standard treatment.
The aim of the project is to analyze changes in the macrogeometry and wear of the surfaces of retrieved orthodontic micro-implants after their clinical use. Upon completion of clinical tasks, the mini-screws will be removed and retrieved for laboratory phase of the study. The laboratory phase will consist of: microscopic and profilometric examinations, as well as scanning before insertion and after removal of the mini-implants, and a clinical phase: the use of previously scanned and sterilized mini-implants in patients participating in the study.
