Journal ArticleDOI

Titanium alloy mini-implants for orthodontic anchorage: immediate loading and metal ion release.

TL;DR: The results of this rabbit model study indicate that titanium alloy mini-implants can be loaded immediately with no compromise in their stability and the vanadium ion release during the healing process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Systemic levels of metallic ions released from orthodontic mini-implants

TL;DR: The concentration of Ti, aluminum, and vanadium, as a function of time, in the kidneys, livers, and lungs of rabbits that had Ti-6Al-4V alloy orthodontic mini-implants placed in their tibia confirmed that release of these metals from the mini- Implants occurs, with diffusion and accumulation in remote organs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequential bone healing of immediately loaded mini-implants.

TL;DR: The immediate 1-N load did not cause significant changes in the fixation of the mini-implants after 1 and 4 weeks of bone healing, but after 12 weeks, the loaded group had significantly lower RTT values than the unloaded group without compromising the stability of themini- Implants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequential bone healing of immediately loaded mini-implants: histomorphometric and fluorescence analysis.

TL;DR: After 12 weeks of healing, higher bone contact and bone area were observed than after 1 or 4 weeks, regardless of loading, and the 1-N immediate force application did not compromise bone formation around mini-implants.
