    Orthodontic loading protocols differ for implants and screws. Implants require a 2-month wait, while screws allow immediate or 2-week loading, with implants showing higher success rates.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthodontics
    • Biomaterials
    • Dental Implants

    Background:

    • Orthodontic treatments increasingly utilize implants and screws for anchorage.
    • Understanding optimal loading protocols is crucial for treatment success.
    • Variability exists in current practices regarding force application timing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To systematically review and present the loading protocols for orthodontic implants and screws.
    • To compare the timing of force application and success rates between implants and screws.

    Main Methods:

    • Systematic review of clinical trials on orthodontic implants/screws.
    • Inclusion of studies on syndromic patients, surgery, and adjunctive appliances.
    • Comprehensive electronic database searches and manual reference checking.

    Main Results:

    • Eleven articles met the selection criteria.
    • Five studies focused on implants, and six on screws.
    • Methodological quality was individually assessed for each included study.

    Conclusions:

    • Orthodontic implants require a minimum 2-month waiting period before loading.
    • Orthodontic screws can be loaded immediately or after a 2-week waiting period.
    • Implants demonstrated higher average success rates compared to screws.
