  • Title: [A suitable location for the placement of miniscrews].
    Author: Breuning KH.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Tandheelkd; 2014 Feb; 121(2):81-5. PubMed ID: 24640294.
    Abstract:
    Miniscrews form a stable attachment point for anchoring during orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances. An additional advantage of this method of anchoring is that a set of teeth can be moved simultaneously, which means that the time required for treatment can be shortened considerably. Miniscrews can also be used for tooth movements that would otherwise be impossible. In selecting a suitable location for the placement of miniscrews, a number offactors play a role. On the basis of the findings reported in the literature on research, a miniscrew atlas has been developed which can serve as a guideline for the selection of a suitable location for the placement of miniscrews.
