    Area of Science:

    • Orthodontics
    • Biomaterials Science
    • Dental Implantology

    Background:

    • Mini-implants (MIs) are crucial for orthodontic anchorage.
    • The choice of material, primarily stainless steel (SS) and titanium, is a key consideration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the success rates of stainless steel (SS) versus titanium mini-implants (MIs) in orthodontic patients.
    • To evaluate the influence of material on the clinical performance of orthodontic MIs.

    Main Methods:

    • A systematic literature search was conducted across multiple databases (PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, Web of Science, Lilacs, Google Scholar, Clinical Trials, OpenGray) and manual reference checks.
    • Six studies met the inclusion criteria, encompassing one randomized clinical trial and five non-randomized trials.
    • Risk of bias and quality of evidence were assessed using ROBINS-I/RoB 2.0 and GRADE, respectively.

    Main Results:

    • Most studies indicated no significant difference in success rates between SS and titanium MIs, with both materials demonstrating high success (SS: 74.6%-100%; Titanium: 80.9%-100%).
    • One study with high risk of bias reported higher success for titanium MIs.
    • Quantitative analysis was precluded by significant heterogeneity among the included studies.

    Conclusions:

    • Current evidence suggests that the material (SS or titanium) is not a primary determinant of orthodontic mini-implant success.
    • Stainless steel (SS) presents a viable, cost-effective option for orthodontic mini-implants due to its comparable clinical efficiency to titanium.
