Histomorphometric evaluation of the bone surrounding orthodontic miniscrews according to their adjacent root proximity.
- Korean J Orthod 2018;48:283-291
I would like to express my gratitude to the authors for their excellent work. Miniscrews are now one of the main tools in everyday orthodontics and therefore research articles on the topic, such as this, can be very helpful to the clinicians.
Q3. It has been reported that surface treated miniscrews could survive better despite their proximity to the dental roots.1 Surface treatment can affect the bone-implant contact (BIC) by promoting osseointegration. Were the miniscrews used in this study surface treated? Please express authors' opinion on the surface treatment and the failure rate associated with the high root proximity of miniscrews.
