O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a influencia da proximidade entre miniimplantes autoperfurantes e as raizes dentarias sobre a estabilidade destes dispositivos de ancoragem. A amostra consistiu de 40 mini-implantes inseridos entre as raizes do primeiro molar e segundo pre-molar superiores de 21 pacientes, como recurso de ancoragem para retracao anterior. A largura do septo no local de insercao (LSI) e a menor distancia da cabeca do mini-implante a raiz dentaria (MDR) foram mensuradas nas 40 radiografias pos-cirurgicas. Sob este aspecto, os miniimplantes foram divididos em duas categorias de grupos: de acordo com a largura do septo no local de insercao, grupos G1L (LSI3mm) e G2L (LSI>3mm), e de acordo com a proximidade do mini-implante a raiz adjacente, grupos G1P (MDR0mm) e G2P (MDR>0mm). A estabilidade dos mini-implantes foi avaliada mensalmente pela quantificacao do grau de mobilidade, e a partir desta variavel foi calculada a proporcao de sucesso. Tambem foi avaliada a influencia das seguintes variaveis sobre o grau de estabilidade: caracteristica do tecido mole no local de insercao, o grau de sensibilidade, a quantidade de placa, a altura de insercao e o periodo de observacao. As duas categorias de grupos foram comparadas quanto ao grau de mobilidade e proporcao de sucesso por meio do teste de Mann-Whitney e do teste Exato de Fisher, respectivamente. Adicionalmente, avaliou-se a influencia das demais variaveis sobre a estabilidade deste sistema de ancoragem atraves do teste t e do teste do Qui-quadrado. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que não houve diferenca estatisticamente significante para o grau de mobilidade e proporção de sucesso entre os mini-implantes inseridos em septos do grupo G1L e G2L. A proximidade entre os mini-implantes avaliados e as raizes dentarias adjacentes (grupos G1P e G2P) tambem nao influenciou na estabilidade e proporcao de sucesso deste sistema de ancoragem. A proporcao de sucesso total encontrada foi de 90% e nenhuma variavel demonstrou estar relacionada ao insucesso dos miniimplantes. No entanto, observou-se maior sensibilidade nos pacientes cujos miniimplantes apresentavam mobilidade, e que a falha destes dispositivos de ancoragem ocorria logo apos sua insercao. / The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of the proximity between self-drilling miniscrews and dental roots on the stability degree. The sample consisted of 40 miniscrews inserted in the interradicular septum between maxillary second premolars and first molars to provide skeletal anchorage for anterior retraction. The forty post-surgical radiographs were used to measure the septum width in the insertion site (SWI) and the smallest distance between miniscrew head and dental root (SDR). In this regard, the miniscrews were divided in two categories of groups: according to the septum width in the insertion site, groups G1W (SWI 3mm) and G2W (SWI>3 mm), and according to the miniscrew dental root proximity, groups G1P (SDR0mm) and G2P (SDR>0mm). The mobility degree (MD) was monthly quantified to determine miniscrew stability, and the success rate of these devices was calculated. This study also evaluated the influence of following variables on the stability degree: soft tissue characteristics in the insertion site (attached gingiva, mucogingival junction and alveolar mucosa), sensitivity degree during miniscrew load, plaque amount around miniscrew, insertion height, and total evaluation period. All the groups were compared regarding mobility degree and success rate using t test and Fisher exact test, respectively. The results showed no significant difference in mobility degree and success rate between groups G1W and G2W. The miniscrew dental root proximity did not influence the stability and success rate of this anchorage system when G1P and G2P were compared. The total success rate found was 90% and no variable was associated with the miniscrew failure. Nevertheless, the results showed that greater patient sensitivity degree was associated to the miniscrews mobility and the failure of these anchorage devices happened in a short time after their insertion.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Objective: To evaluate the osseointegration potential of four different surfaces of mini-implants .We hypothesized that mini-implants surface roughness alters the intrinsic biomechanical properties of the bone integrated to titanium. Materials and Methods: Mini implants and circular discs were made from alloy Ti6Al4V grade 5. On the basis of surface treatment study was divided into 4 groups: Group 1: Machined: no surface treatment, Group 2: Acid etched: with hydrochloric acid, Group 3: Grit Blasted with alumina and Group 4: Grit blasted +Acid etched. Surface roughness parameters (mean surface roughness: Ra and Quadratic Average roughness: Rq) of the four discs from each group were measured by the optical profilometer. Contact angle measurement of 3 discs from each group was done with a Goniometer. Contact angle of liquids with different hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity were measured. 128 mini implants, differing in surface treatment, were placed into the tibias and femurs of 8 adult male New Zealand white rabbits. Biomechanical properties (Removal torque and hardness) measurements and histomorphometric observations were measured. Results: Ra and Rq of groups were: Machined (1.17±0.11, 2.59±0.09) Acid etched (1.82±0.04, 3.17±0.13), Grit blasted (4.83±0.23, 7.04±0.08), Grit blasted + Acid etched (3.64±0.03, 4.95±0.04) respectively. Group 4 had significantly (p=0.000) lower Ra and Rq than Group 3. The interaction between the groups and liquid was significant. Group 4 had significantly lower contact angle measurements (40.4°, 26.9°), both for blood and NaCl when compared to other three groups (p≤0.01). Group 4 had significantly higher torque than Group 3 (Tibia: 13.67>9.07N-cm; Femur: 18.21>14.12N-cm), Group 4 (Tibia: 13.67>9.78N-cm; Femur: 18.21>12.87N-cm), and machined (Tibia: 13.67>4.08N-cm; Femur: 18.21>6.49N-cm). SEM analysis reveals significantly more bone implant gap in machined implant surfaces than treated implant surfaces. Bone to implant contact had significantly higher values for treated mini implant surface than machined surface. Hardness of the bone near the implant bone interface is 20 to 25% less hard than bone 1mm away from it in both Femur and Tibia. Conclusion: Surface roughness and wettability of mini implants influences their biological response. Grit blasted and acid etched mini implants had lowest contact angle for different liquids tested and highest removal torques.

Depuis une dizaine d’années, l’essor des minivis d’ancrage orthodontique a été grandissant jusqu’à devenir, aujourd’hui, un outil incontournable dans l’arsenal thérapeutique de l’orthodontiste. Très peu d’études ont été publiées quant à la nature de la réponse tissulaire face à l’insertion et la mise en charge de ces minivis. De plus, une partie des patients concernés par l’orthodontie étant des adolescents, il serait intéressant de savoir si le tissu osseux en croissance est propice à l’utilisation de ces dispositifs. L’influence de la nature du matériau sur cette réaction tissulaire reste également à définir. L’objectif de cette étude a été d’évaluer la biointégration de deux systèmes de minivis orthodontiques présents sur le marché, l’un en acier chirurgical et l’autre en titane-aluminium-vanadium, en conduisant une analyse clinique, histomorphométrique et microtomographique chez le porc en croissance. Les résultats ont montré que la réponse osseuse se caractérise, dans un os en croissance peu compact, par un épaississement des travées osseuses au contact des dispositifs, probablement pour résister à la contrainte locale. Le tissu osseux en croissance permet la biointégration des minivis d’ancrage orthodontique, mais le taux de succès relativement faible observé implique l’adaptation des protocoles cliniques par une analyse préalable du ratio os trabéculaire/os cortical, une augmentation du délai avant mise en charge, et l’application de forces légères. La réponse tissulaire est similaire, quel que soit le système étudié. L’acier chirurgical, grandement utilisé en orthopédie, présente donc un intérêt en orthopédie dento-faciale, dans une indication temporaire / The miniscrew implants are increasingly used over the last decade in orthodontics and gradually replacing the use of extraoral forces because of their greater efficiency and because their effectiveness is not subject to patient compliance. Few studies seeking to understand the response to orthodontic anchorage devices at bone-tissue interface have been published over the last ten years. Despite the large use of miniscrews in teenagers, very few have included young subjects in their protocol. Furthermore, despite the use of stainless steel miniscrew implants, no studies have investigated biointegration of such devices. The aim of the present study was to evaluate tissue response to immediately loaded miniscrew implants (of Ti6Al4V and of stainless steel) in growing pigs in order to answer to the following questions: Is it possible to implant and load miniscrew implants in a growing bone? Does stainless steel devices present the same biointegration than titanium devices? A clinical evaluation, and histomorphometrical and micro-CT analyses were performed. Results showed that the growing bone seems compatible with the orthodontic anchorage. In the growing pig with low bone density areas, the trabecular thickness increase appears as the bone response to withstand the local strains induced by loaded orthodontic miniscrews. Stainless steel devices presented similar behavior to the Ti6Al4V devices in pigs. This study showed the possibility to place stainless steel miniscrew implants for orthodontic anchorage in growing models
