Clinical oral investigations·2022

Miniscrews significantly increased alveolar bone density within 3 months without harming adjacent gingival tissues. This study evaluated dental miniscrew effects on bone density and gum health.

Area of Science:

  • Orthodontics
  • Periodontology
  • Dental Implantology

Background:

  • Assessing the impact of dental miniscrews on interproximal alveolar bone density.
  • Evaluating the effects of miniscrews on the health of adjacent gingival tissues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine how dental miniscrews influence alveolar bone density.
  • To assess the safety and effects of miniscrews on surrounding gum health.

Main Methods:

  • Forty-four titanium miniscrews were placed in 22 patients (ages 14-24).
  • Clinical and radiographic monitoring occurred at baseline, 1, 3, and 6 months post-insertion.
  • Digital radiography software analyzed bone density; clinical parameters assessed gingival health.

Main Results:

Microhardness Measurements on Tooth and Alveolar Bone in Rodent Oral Disease Models

Published on: April 26, 2024

  • Alveolar bone density around miniscrews significantly increased between 3 and 6 months post-insertion.
  • No significant changes in bone density were observed in control areas.
  • Keratinized gingiva width increased significantly in both study and control areas, with no adverse effects.

Conclusions:

  • Dental miniscrews enhance alveolar bone density significantly after 3 months.
  • Miniscrew use was not linked to negative impacts on adjacent gingival tissues.
